Investment Analysis

There once was a CPA

Who managed my 401(K).

They said unto me

That a 403(B)

Would be better. Why? IDFK

Method Acting

As long as we’re recasting movies

Where male characters are now girls

I hope they can remake “Terminator”

As Hillary Clinton vs. the world.

Guest Poem by POTUS

I will start by saying

Haikus have five syllables

In the first and third lines.

“Housing Prices Are Becoming More Affordable” He Said Between Bites Of $50 Celery

In October I didn’t write any posts

And apparently all of my readers were ghosts.

This month I wrote things, and here’s how it went:

My views went up 234 percent!

See, when you take big things and make them real small

It doesn’t take very much effort at all

To make a small number look very excitin’

And that’s economics presented by Biden.

Watching The News

I, for one, am grateful

That 24 hours a day

I can turn a TV on

And learn I’m not ok

‘Cause someone in another state

Is angry and insisted

That the government fix an issue

That I didn’t know existed.

I’m glad I can be angry

On demand, and also wary

Now that I know a deadly thing

Is affirmed as “very scary”.

I’m also glad these stations

Are translated totally free

To whatever political language

Is most offensive to me!

We’re lucky seven corporations

Tell us the woes of corporate greed

While insuring that we’re well-informed

About what brand-name crap we need.

Anyway, I’m done complaining!

Now excuse me as I go

To learn about the trans kids

Swimming here from Mexico.

Hunter’s Ted Talk

Remember when we were in grade school

And the winner of every fight

Wasn’t the guy who said “I have infinity”

But “I have infinity plus one”, right?

Well yesterday my boss said “You’re fired”

And I said “No, I’m infinity fired plus one”

And now I’m on the board of directors

And also the president’s son!

Take That, Nukes!

One upside of weak, nerdy young people

Is that they’ll probably invent Mjolnir

But because they’re so weak, they can’t lift it

And thus we have nothing to fear.

On “Inciting Incidents”(Bonus Points If It Involves A Historical Artifact)

It doesn’t require much talent to be famous.

There really is near nothing to it

As long as you don’t care what they name us

And don’t care if you need to live through it.

Somewhere, In Their Parents’ Basement, Is An Overworked Game Designer Making Voting Machines

In every Pokemon game

The story is the same.

In Zelda, the main canon

Is the bad guy’s always Ganon.

So if you say that Russia

Is rigging elections, I’ll shush ya

‘Cause if anybody can

I’d guess the culprit is Japan.

Enough Is Enough

Why do we keep electing the people

Who think that it’s totally cool

To make a new law that requires a sign

That says “Wet Floor” and goes in the pool?
