Ballad Of The First Dude In The Epic War Sequence Who Gets Shot And Falls From A High Place Just Before The Soundtrack Starts

There once was a warrior from Lo

Who’d a habit of stubbing his toe.

He could not help but feel

‘Twas his Achilles heel…

But nope! He died by arrow.

A Winter’s Tune

When your heart calls to its pair

Through the rime of Winter’s air

Be sure it’s cry is strong and true

So its twin may sing to you.

But should your heart’s dear, after pause,

Sing “I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause”

You may be wise to weave and sway

Then run like Hell the other way.

Situational Awareness

If you ever see an orphan

In Gotham after dark

You should take off your spandex

And find somewhere else to park.

Career Limitations

There was a race car driver from Leyte

Who suffered a terrible plight:

He was the world’s best

But for one crucial test:

He only knew how to turn right.

Not Sweating The Small Stuff

I’m going to bed in an hour

And my phone is at 9% battery

But the Seahawks haven’t been bad tonight

So other stuff doesn’t mattery.

When Gen Z Starts A Gang War

I think it’s just a matter of time

Before injured people try

To eat all the food in their inventory

Expecting not to die.

It’s sort of like the Tide Pod challenge

Mixed with “Supersize Me”

And when it becomes a TikTok trend

I hope you don’t despise me.

The Best Days Of My Life

When I was a kid in school

I was never very cool.

I was skinny like an elf

And ate my lunches by myself.

I though cool sticks were precious pearls;

I paid no mind to all the girls.

Looking back, I need to say

Why can’t I have all that today?

“Housing Prices Are Becoming More Affordable” He Said Between Bites Of $50 Celery

In October I didn’t write any posts

And apparently all of my readers were ghosts.

This month I wrote things, and here’s how it went:

My views went up 234 percent!

See, when you take big things and make them real small

It doesn’t take very much effort at all

To make a small number look very excitin’

And that’s economics presented by Biden.

Carol Of The Belch

Hark! Hear the belch, deep throaty belch
That seems to say, “Guys, I’m ok!”
Family is here, bringing cheap beer
To young and old (or so I’m told).
Ding-dong-ding-dong: The doorbell’s song.
Another aunt? I really can’t…

One wants to say “Please go away”
They’re everywhere, breathing our air.
Family is bound to be around
And to pick fights o’er petty spites.
Merry happy jolly (insert day here)

Maybe gimme some of that cheap lite beer…

Guest Poem From My Father And Mother In Law (It’s A Long Story)

I played in a band today

In a red jacket to everyone’s dismay.

The jacket was so sparkly bright

We really did play alright.

I just did two more lines

And now I’m going to do my wife’s behinds.
