Classical Music

You’re here to see a concert

And the first piece we will play

Is the thanking of the sponsors,

For although you had to pay

A decent sum of money

To come see our group perform

Without our corporate overlords

We’d not be able to form.

Thank you to the money guys

Who like this older stuff.

Now please prepare to give a hand

For another half an hour of fluff…

Turns Out The Genie Only Grants Two Wishes…

I hope that before I die

I’ll fart one million times.

That or curing cancer…

Or maybe writing rhymes?

Oh No! Now My Privacy Is Auctioned Off By A Monopolistic Corporate Super Power? But Now I Won’t See Ads For Things I Whisper Within Earshot Of My Fridge!

Now Google Chrome apparently

Is blocking third-party cookies

So companies have to pay them

To earn the user clicks and lookies.

People are acting like this is bad,

As if personalized ads were good…

But people are optimistic about the election

So I guess they probably would.

I Almost Published This Without A Title (And In A Way, I Still Did?)

I want to skip my poem today.

The thought went through my head

And yet I wrote a poem…

Maybe I’ll skip leg day instead!

And Yet They Give These To Eleven-Year-Olds?

If I were a Pokemon master

I’d sure get to work a lot faster.

With my Dragonite I’d

No traffic abide…

On reflection, that would be a disaster.

What Do You Mean “Is It In?”

It started with the big floppy disc

Then they made a smaller floppy.

CDs came, then thumb drives,

And now we have the micro-SD.

I guess we can be grateful

That our storage is getting firm

But the reduction in storage size

Is making my male brain squirm…

Looking Forward To The Olympics

Americans love their football teams.

Canadians love their hockey.

Mexicans are the cross country champs.

In China it’s boxing (Not like Rocky).

Genre-Dependent

Music is the universal language.

It can communicate to anyone at all

Things like “I have bad taste in music”

And “Girl, hop in! We’re going to the mall!”

Meanwhile, Google’s AI Says…

If I had a nickel

For every commercial starring a white guy

I would have as much money

As the black people who aren’t in ads.

—————————————————————

Violets are black.

Roses are black.

Criminals are racially diverse

So cut me some slack.

—————————————————————

Sure, the future isn’t white

But don’t you worry! It’s alright!

Europe’s long past its golden days

And no one likes swimming anyways.

What Boomers And Gen Z Agree On

I paid a lot of money

To see Bingo balls go “whir”

At the place I lost my savings

And the waitress called me “sir”.

It’s worth it for the privilege

Of putting five things in a line

And laughing with the others when

They call “I 69”.
