The Only Difference Is One Candidate Was Convicted

There once was a hush-money trial

That went on for quite a while.

The jury used their melon

And decided he’s a felon

But he’ll still win votes with a smile.

The Menace Is No Longer Phantom

In 1999 they released a film

About an old guy that starts a galactic war

Where one side wants free markets

And one side wants big government

But they both serve the same exact dark lord

Now in 2024 we’re given a choice

Between two wrinkly warmongers as well

And I’m going to vote for the one

Who shoots lightning from his thumbs

‘Cause that’s the objectively cooler ruler of Hell.

But They Gave You Two Choices!

Once some Spartans got bored

And one of them grabbed a sword.

They said “We can stab you

“Or instead spear you too”

And thus democracy was restored.

If You Don’t Think This Poem Rhymes, You’re A Racist

We were born in an America

Where if you TP a house

You’re arrested not for vandalism

But for cultural appropriation

Since some white chick heard “teepee”

And her grandmother was 1/8th Cherokee

And African Americans invented toilet paper

So you’re screwed either way.

Privatize Social Credit?

Instead of food or clothing

We should donate cameras

To the homeless and the needy

And the reason is because

A stinky guy with bad hair

With the sign: “I’m live on Twitch”

Will get people to donate more…

At least that’s my pitch!

Sunbathing? Sure…

I thought about the venus flytrap

And how cool are carnivorous plants.

Then I thought about the opposite

And how we might enhance

An animal that ate no meat

And was immobile and sat in the sun.

Turns out there’s an animal like that:

The “Californian”.

‘Fro Zen

The snow glows white in Chicago tonight.
Not a footprint to be found.
A kingdom of isolation
And my car’s in the impound.

The wind was howling and my tank was running low.
Sure, my parking place may have been yellow…
I won’t give in, Mitsubishi,
I’ll be the badass the streets demand I be.
Conceal, don’t feel, just pay the fee

Mirage LE…

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold my ride anymore
Let it go, let it go
Give me keys, unlock the door.
I don’t care what they’re going to say
So a hydrant’s blocked?
The fires never bothered me anyway.

It’s funny how Chi-town’s police force can be so white and small
And the laws that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
The ticket’s free!

Let it go, let it go
I will hop in my car and drive
Let it go, let it go
You won’t take me alive
Stamp the gas and I’ll peel away
Let the storm rage on

My drive train puts me through the air then to the ground
My wheels are spiraling on f***ing black ice all around
And one thought rises as I almost crap my pants…
Extended warranty… I really missed my chance!

Let it go, let it go
As I careen across some dude’s lawn
Let it go, let it go
Now I think my bumper’s gone
As they read my rights I know I’m ok…
I’ll get community service
As long as I mention I’m black and gay.

Mrs. Doubtfire, Or Your Girl’s High School Sports Team?

There once was a comedy movie

About a guy who loved kids, and for proof he

Dressed up like a girl

And changed some kid’s world

And everyone said that it’s groovy.

Alternate Political Thoughts

Roosevelt called it “A New Deal.”

‘Twas just an IOU.

He didn’t know who’d pay for it,

But turns out that it’s you.

—————————————————————

Emancipation proclamation?

More like “Cut the black a little slack”.

—————————————————————

Medicine prices don’t seem fair?

Let’s have some Obamacare!

Instead of paying to heal me

I pay so you get care for free!

—————————————————————

There’ve been 27 amendments,

Of which ten were automatic

In this American republic

Which is also democratic.

One was banning alcohol.

One was saying “Oops, our bad”

And that may be the greatest unity

The States have ever had.
