Ode To Brian Thompson

There was an insurance exec

Who got shot in the street. What the heck?

But instead of mass fear

Folks just let out a cheer,

Now relieved of one pain in the neck.

A Poem For My Wife On The Occasion Of A Duty To Her Peers

‘Twas the day of jury duty

And through the courthouse

Most groups were still waiting

(They’d just called in “mouse”).

The judges were hoping

For non-psycho jurors

While my wife was pining

For sofas and purrers.

One hundred dollars

Awaited those selected

To sit in the waiting room,

Tired and dejected,

But some of those gathered

Would be chosen to act

As one of a dozen

Who would justice enact.

The thrill of deciding

A dumb person’s fate

Might be tempting for some,

But not to my mate.

She wanted to go

To her job or her house,

Not to wait for a call

For “Octopus”. (Nope, still “mouse”).

And then, with a flash

And a low-level clatter

A sentry emerged

And did hush all their chatter.

“I’ve news for you all”

The page said to the bunch.

“We don’t need you right now.

“Take an hour for lunch.”

And so wifey departed

In search of a bite

With an intrusive thought

That she’d be here all night…

It’s About Sending A Message

There was a little spider

In my bathroom late at night.

Now it’s gone, and so is one shotgun shell

And I have a new skylight!

If Thanksgiving Wore Sweatpants

Today is Black Friday,

That grand shopping day

Where everything costs

What the white people pay.

You can buy all the things

That nobody bought

When the items were valued

As the resellers thought.

Your lunch will be yummy,

Just like last night’s dinner

And you give up your goal

Of ending the year thinner.

Always Room At The Table For Turkey

Today we are thankful for immigrants

Who come here to become a winner.

Without them we’d have to fly to Turkey

To have our traditional dinner.

Black Friday?

‘Twas two nights before Thanksgiving

And on every website

There were black Friday ads

That were sure to delight,

For why wait three more days

To get ludicrous deals

Like fifty-percent off

Those bejeweled heels?

Sure, in July

They were 99 bucks

But now they’re 199.99 89 dollars.

What incredible luck!

Today we are thankful

For bargains galore.

Now just three days to wait

Before violence in the store!

Wicked: The Clinton/Harris Story

It’s not that we don’t want a woman

As president of the USA…

It’s that our two female options so far

Would get melted by water. Ok?

When The Kamala Voters Go On a “Sex Strike”

The Donald got elected

And that makes me so depressed

‘Cause now I can’t go out at night

Wearing my Sunday best

To hit on green-haired feminists

Who think that I am Satan.

Oh well, I have my freedom

And more time for masturbatin’.

If At First You Don’t Succeed…

There twice was an unlikeable chick

Who expressed her detractors were “Ick”.

She lost to a man

With a very fake tan

And I’m not opposed to the schtick.

What Really Matters

‘Teas the night of the election

And all round the world

All the people were asking

“Why’d they kill the poor squirrel?”
