When They Started Using Those “Printer” Things, Everything Went Downhill…

When the Roman Empire fell

People thought “This isn’t swell”

And for a while they were right

And all the world was dark as night.

Then a guy named Gutenberg

Turned out to be a giant nerd

And invented a thing called a printing press

Which writers say reduced their stress.

After this, a rennaissance

Began, and then a war in France

And freedom became the big buzzword

That people gravitated toward.

Now as another empire falls

I wish we’d have the collective balls

To look how we got in this mess

And demand they bring back the printing press.

Meanwhile, Google’s AI Says…

If I had a nickel

For every commercial starring a white guy

I would have as much money

As the black people who aren’t in ads.

—————————————————————

Violets are black.

Roses are black.

Criminals are racially diverse

So cut me some slack.

Sure, the future isn’t white

But don’t you worry! It’s alright!

Europe’s long past its golden days

And no one likes swimming anyways.

After EVs, What’s Next?

Someday in the future

Ours cars will be a dream:

We’ll make them half the weight and cost

Of today’s driving machine.

They’ll have less wear on tires

And do less harm to the roads,

Go four times as far in rain or shine

And haul heavier loads.

They’ll recharge themselves in minutes

And use only renewable power.

We’ll call them “Gasoline powered”.

Just my thoughts from the shower…

My Superbowl Recap

Their once was an organized crime

Who fixed football games all the time.

Then a female singer

Put the crooks through the wringer

And black Tom Brady won with a dime.

Just Like Being A Real General, But Without The Pay

All of those violent video games…

The ones with the Nazis and guns…

Are thought by most people as harmless,

Just mindless and gory and fun.

They think they’re just one simulation

Of engaging in conquest and war

Where a kid can sit down for an evening

And proceed to, the whole world, ignore.

But when you grow up you realize

And begin to see children who stare

At a screen sending soldiers to slaughter

With less than a whiff of a care

And you realize with eyes open wider

And a hint of an older man’s sorrow:

They’re not corrupting the youth after all:

They’re training the kings of tomorrow.

The Superbowl… Biden Vs. Trump… Yeah, We’re In A Loop

The groundhog saw his shadow

And the Summer’s coming soon.

Now we have another choice:

Giant meteor or typhoon?

My Superbowl Thoughts

On the one hand, I’m disappointed.

On the other hand, I am ok

That I don’t have to spend my whole afternoon

Watching both teams I hate get to play.

When You’re Under Orders To Neglect Your Duty

When your nation makes it illegal

To enforce our most basic of laws

It signals that our compliance

Must end, or at least go on pause.

I Prefer My Bread And Circuses Half-Naked, Not Half-Witted

I can accept our world is being run

By faceless corporations

Who choose political puppets

To fulfill their machinations,

That we, the proletariat,

Cannot escape this iron grip

But why do they always pick old white dudes

And not hot girls? What a gyp!

Not A… Not B…

“Nazi” is a word we say

When people think a certain way

That is different from what we

Are told the world’s supposed to be.
