Manly Thoughts

We’ve marketed bottles water

And, in some places, fresh air.

I think next we should bottle sleep

(If the marketing people care).

Just twist the child-proof yellow cap

And chug an hour of rest.

Sure, we have caffeine for that

But caffeine’s not the best.

Instead, just but some shuteye

Or even forty winks

And feel refreshed much quicker

And save your bed for kinks.

I’m not sure how you’d do it

But I’m quite sure that we should.

But now I’ll sleep for free again

And pray for morning wood.

The Holiday Spirit?

Martin Luther King

Dreamed about equality.

I prefer days off.

Goodness Me, Is That More Than 100 BPM My Good Sir?

When your heart beats really fast

That’s tachycardia

(Or so the doctors would have you believe).

But if your heart beats quickly

And you’re upper-middle class

It’s classycardia. (Ok, I’ll leave)

Dear 49ers…

Nine seconds of game

Is all we need to defeat

Your pathetic butts.

This Is Why Horses Became Popular In The Wild West

When robbers hold their guns out

And bellow, “Stick ‘em up”

The whole ordeal is really rather crass.

But it gets even worse

When they try to rob the livestock

‘Cause then the robbers “Stick ‘em up” your ass.

Take That, Inspirational Posters!

They say money can’t buy happiness

And maybe they are right

But money can buy spiders

That you can give people out of spite

And spiteful spider-giving

Puts a smile on my face

When I put those “money can’t buy” people

In their rightful place.

When You Live In The USA (Instead Of China, Turkey, Israel, Chile, Chad, or Georgia, FYI)

So there’s a country named for plates

And one for Thanksgiving birds.

One country claims it is real

But misspelled the last two thirds.

One is hot peppers. One’s just a name.

One is a Southeastern state.

And we’re just three stupid letters

With no puns attached. This I hate.

Pronunciation Matters

The church tells us

That prejudice is bad.

On the other hand, pre-Judas

Were the best years Jesus had.

Cannibals be like:

“Poultry farmers over there!“

“Chicken tenders! Yum!”

Innocence Dies First, Closely Followed By Spontaneity

Being an adult

Means you schedule things like sex

And video games
