Now THIS Is A Social Movement I Can Get Behind

If we all just agreed not to buy

What we see on TV for a year

We could put advertising behind us

And forever be ad-free and clear

They Did This… Just Not For Us

If we’re forgiving student loans

I think we should consider

Just forgiving all debt ever.

Also, the getter-ridder

Should make everything be free

So everyone is wealthy!

Then we can sail our yachts and talk

About why the economy isn’t healthy.

And If We Refinance, We Might Get To Move Into A Three-Tired Sedan!

I made a big old spreadsheet

To learn about buying a house.

I entered my income and interest rate

And the preferences of my spouse.

I learned a lot about mortgage rates

And discovered that we can afford

A tree with a lightly-used tire swing

And a tarp that’s attached to a board.

Imagine The Worst Thing In The Universe… Then Make It An LGBTQ Miniseries

Whenever you say “This is the worst”

Just ask yourself questions three:

1. How long will it last?

2. Have I seen worse in the past?

3. Is it going to be bought by Disney?

*Depends* On Your Perspective

In kindergarten, there was a boy

Who said “You’re dumb and old

“And you’re bald and gross and poopy

“And you do whatever you’re told.”

I turned to face the parents

Whose expressions were most hesitant

And I proudly said, “We’re learning

“About how to describe the president!”

The Feminine Paradox

She said “I love ventriloquists.”

Her vagina said “That’s right!”

In my defense, she laughed at that

But I’m still on the couch tonight.

Soulmates

My wife is on the sofa

Running through the golden grass

Trying to catch an Eevee

Which is a real pain in the ass.

She’s been doing this for hours,

A frustrating type of zen

And I feel like she’s living out

My childhood again.

This Is How YouTube Channels Start…

I want to hire a deaf guy

To go to Olive Garden, where a

Waiter will grate a block of cheese

Onto his pasta marinara

And when the waiter asks “enough”

The deaf guy will stay quiet.

This is a lifelong dream of mine…

Know any deaf folks who would try it?

Activism Today

The world has three types of people:

Those who raise awareness for issues,

Those who laugh at the awareness-raisers,

And those who think the other types

Should be the change they want to see.

Unfortunately, the type who make changes

Require a 200 GB update to the system

And God still has dialup.

Pride Month, Day 1

“I went to the club and blew 50 bucks”

Is a normal enough thing to say

Unless you happen to be a deer

And especially one who is gay.
