Bigger Hoard+Fewer Knights=Gender Studies!

Roses are red and violets are blue

And people say dragons aren’t real

But I think the dragons, between me and you,

Ran out of princesses to steal

And so turned to work outside their tradition

Like enrolling the maidens in college

Where they charge a fortune for the latest edition

Of textbooks for more useless knowledge.

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.

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!”

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?

I’m Doing My Part

With the recent rise of terrorism

And assassination attempts, please

Remember it was Robert Selander (Mastercard CEO)

Who invented “Convenience Fees”.

Help Wanted: Male Model – Experience Required: 5+ Years Of Being Female

In the near future, diversity quotas

Will become even harder to fill

So job interviewers will have to start meetings

With, “Hey, so I see you are Bill

“But if you’ll let us call you Simone during work

“And you’ll say that your pronouns are ‘they’

“Then we’re happy to call you our newest employee.

“Otherwise, have a very nice day.”

I Don’t Need Proof Through The Night That Our Flag Was Still There

There are two days of the year

Where fireworks and beer

Are acceptable for neighbors to abuse

And yet some neighbors (ours)

Must be from Venus instead of Mars

Because tonight’s the night they picked to light the fuse…

The Santa/Netflix Dichotomy

When people say that Santa Claus

Is, and has always been, white

I agree with them in principle

But ask if it’s alright

That going down a million chimneys

Every Christmas night

Would make him look like blackface

‘Cause I like to start a fight.

What I Want For Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas

And in every shop

The employees were praying

For the music to stop.

Then over the speakers

There came a great roar

Of earsplitting guitar,

Bass, and four on the floor.

The singer was screaming

About who-on-Earth-knows

And the customers shopping

For last minute clothes

Stood still in the aisles

And heard the hard rock

And were grateful to that guy

Who turned off the schlock.

An employee was fired

For changing the playlist

But the customers rallied

And described him as “A-list”

And as he departed

And the carols returned

The shoppers revolted…

Firing overturned!

So the metal resumed

And the shoppers came back

And they purchased roast beef

And sang “Back In Black”.
