Video Killed The Radio Star, But Older (Enhanced Interrogation Edition)

I feel sorry for the guy

Who invented the torture rack,

The iron maiden, the eyeball-scooper thing,

And other tools to make folks crack

Because all of his inventions

Were obsolete in 1723

When Pierre Fauchard came to town

And invented dentistry.

I’m Sorry I Asked

“Why do you have a dog poop bag

“If you don’t have a dog?“

“I still have poop though, don’t I?“

How To Reduce Noise Pollution And Increase The Average IQ In America In One Morally-Grey Step

So folks are setting off fireworks

On the night of July 3rd

And at first, I’ll admit I was tempted

To flip such folks the bird.

In the spirit of peace and happiness

I instead propose humbly

To instead give them drugs and fireworks

In massive quantities.

Sure, this year the death toll

May be massive, but I say

It’s a way to purge the people

Who can’t wait just one more day.

Jesus Christ

Sure, they nailed me to a cross

And death was sort of ouchy

But that isn’t the real reason

That I’m feeling grouchy.

Instead, I’m sick of folks like you

Always shouting my name

When you stub your toe or, I don’t know,

Get mad at a video game.

Is This How Pokemon Started?

Tiger tiger, burning bright

In the zoo, so late at night.

Alas, it seems those corporate jerks

Failed to show how the extinguisher works.

Baptist Easter

Two-Thousand Twenty-Five years ago

Judas told Jesus “YOLO”

But Jesus, lacking any fear

Said “Judas, my brudda, holdeth my beer.”

Bille Nye The Science Guy 3, Starring Chris Rock

We’ve finally reached the place

Where Hollywood’s gotten so mid

Black actors are turning down starring roles

And bringing milk home for their kid.

Everyone Has Something To Share

If your life is a dumpster fire

Don’t think about aiming higher

But find a cold alley

And watch how you rally

The hobos, who your heat admire.

Check The Date

I like taxes. I like Feds.

I like cold and lumpy beds.

Yes, that muumuu’s very cute.

I double-checked your parachute.

Six Seasons And A Movie…

I’m not a huge fan of reality shows

But one that I think would impress

Is a battle-royale style contest between

All 535 folks in congress.

We’d give them katanas and send them away

To a place that’s devoid and bereft

And let them do anything they want to do

Until there’s just one of them left.

The final survivor gets to be president

And the senate and house get refilled

By neighbors and bosses and IRS workers

And anyone else we want killed.
