‘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.

Where The Senators Cared And The Emperors Were Regularly Assassinated

All I can say about our state of affairs

Is that watching movies about Rome

Makes me think “This government’s ok,

“Or at least better than the one back home.”

I Miss The Good Old Days… 2015

There once was a man from Ohio

Who didn’t put pronouns in his bio.

He works hard and makes money

And he married his honey

And why can’t this be status quo?

I’d Get Arrested In Europe For Writing This…

There once was an American leader

Whose mind was starting to peter.

He said “Easter’s the day

“Where we normalize gay”

And some people still think this ain’t theater.

But Will They Play A Jazzy Star-Spangled Banner On A Ukulele While I Wait?

Thank you for calling the Federal Gov,

The people who rule you and speak from above.

We’re using your tax dollars to be on our break

So please wait seven hours. Your freedom’s at stake.

The Parabola Is Beginning Its Descent…

In 1999 the Matrix took the red pill.

In 2012, the Avengers were assembled.

In 2025 we’ll get the fifth Fantastic Four.

And now you understand just why I trembled.

Your Tax Dollars At Work #7,419

Before every movie you watch

There’s an FBI warning and on it

Is a message that vows either prison or fines

If you copy the movie and pawn it.

Meanwhile, in 38 states

Shoplifting a movie is legal.

I think it’s time the the FBI bird

Was replaced by a drunk cross-eyed seagull.
