Beats By Dreidel

Gentiles got foreskins, ya,

But my bros got candles nine.

We only got a day of oil

But there’s God, so we’ll be fine.

We can burn these candles y’all

For a dozen days or so

And all you got’s a baby

In a manger full of snow?

You get one day of giving gifts;

We’ve got a fortnight minus two

Plus no Mariah Carey

So come become a jew!

The Herald Can Hark On December 11th

The tree is up

The lights are hung

The gifts are wrapped

And stockings strung

The mistle’s toed

Now all I seek

Is to delay the music

For one more week.

If Thanksgiving Wore Sweatpants

Today is Black Friday,

That grand shopping day

Where everything costs

What the white people pay.

You can buy all the things

That nobody bought

When the items were valued

As the resellers thought.

Your lunch will be yummy,

Just like last night’s dinner

And you give up your goal

Of ending the year thinner.

Always Room At The Table For Turkey

Today we are thankful for immigrants

Who come here to become a winner.

Without them we’d have to fly to Turkey

To have our traditional dinner.

Those Golden Years…

So a hundred thousand novels

Get published every year

But we still go back and read

“Tom Sawyer” and “King Lear”.

We’ve made games in 3D space

So lifelike it’s surreal

But we still enjoy our Tetris

And that hungry yellow wheel.

We have so many robots

That they’re not even that cool

And we had an entire year

Of watching videos at school

But yet we yearn to venture back

Into a simpler day

Where nobody would cancel us

If we said “Bro, that’s gay.”

Black Friday?

‘Twas two nights before Thanksgiving

And on every website

There were black Friday ads

That were sure to delight,

For why wait three more days

To get ludicrous deals

Like fifty-percent off

Those bejeweled heels?

Sure, in July

They were 99 bucks

But now they’re 199.99 89 dollars.

What incredible luck!

Today we are thankful

For bargains galore.

Now just three days to wait

Before violence in the store!

Computer Science vs. Math

So somebody invented a flat piece of metal

And pumped some lightning inside it

And it makes ones and zeros look like fantasy heroes

And we have no idea who supplied it.

Yet if there’s a method for solving equations

About how many red beans in a jar

Can be expressed fractally, we will know exactly

Who the nerds who invented it are.

Winter Flashbacks

Did you know that firewood,

While primarily used to burn,

Can also be used to make children sad?

Now you do! Live and learn!

Thank You To My Mom For Her Poetic Inspiration

Some dumb humdrum bum

Hummed with numb gums.

The sounds was plum crumby

So I gave bum some gum.

The dumb bum said “yum”

And flashed upward his thumb.

May the bum not succumb

And have more words than mum.

Thus Spake The Lord

So God was like “I made animals

“And they’re useful and delicious

“But you chose to eat an apple

“And so, to be malicious,

“I’ll make your parents teach you

“That vegetables are good

“And also make steak cost way more

“Than such meat ever should.”
