The Poetical Political Spectrum Test

The Left

If your daughter tells you “Mother

“I am actually your son”

Then tell him that’s amazing

And he’s still your favorite one.

The Right

If she says she wants testosterone

Tell her she’s testost-on-her-own.

Animals Come In All Forms

“It’s my emotional support animal”, I said

But she just continued to glare.

She must prefer her support fluffy

But I like mine medium-rare.

They Always Said He Was Watching…

So I got a notification

That says God is following my blog…

I guess I’m no longer an atheist

And perhaps I should learn how to jog?

Now THAT Was Painful

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men

Couldn’t put Humpty together again

But Humpty was happy that all was resolved

Without the Minnesota Vikings involved.

Ah Yes… You Charge Us More To Remind Us To Pay You To Help Them Steal From Us

At 11:59 on December 31st

A ball fell in NYC.

It was at that moment Turbotax

Said “It’s time to remind you of me!”

Crossfit

There once was a marketing guy

Who was looking for what you should buy.

There was a gym with some rope

And he said “It’d be dope

“If we whip those around. Don’t ask why.”

Know Your Niche

I read a study recently

Where folks read poetry

Written both by poets

And impostor GPTs.

The funny part is readers

Rated all the AI stuff

Better in every category

Than the real poets’ fluff.

The only metric humans

Could equal AI at

Was the “originality” category.

Can you imagine that?

So, yes, robots are winning

But I’ll peacefully nap

Knowing I still have a stranglehold

On writing strictly crap.

New Game?

We’ve reached the point in Monopoly

Where all the property’s gone

And one rich guy is making

Everybody else a pawn

So why are we surprised

When the thimbles of the world

Decide it’s time the tables flipped

And wads of cash get hurled?

Last Season’s Alcohol: Corona… This Season’s Alcohol: Fireball

To all of you who laughed at me

When I said “Dragons are real”

I present you: California.

Now how do you feel?

Elegy For A D&D Session

Here lies our session,

Cancelled last minute

Because someone had finals.

That’s terrible, innit?

But why don’t you pick up

And play without one?

They’re sure to catch up

And the rest can have fun!

Well, “the rest” had a hard week

And one’s on vacation

And one’s had to work

‘Cause of some situation

And one’s having car trouble.

And got her hair done

So no game, but I’ve got

A whole pizza for one.
