The Tide Pod Song

When I turn on my television

I see a world of superstition

Where our leaders act like children,

Have a cow.

Meanwhile, the kids can’t read or write

And I stay awake at night

And think “That Tide Pod’s looking pretty tasty now.”

We used to run through flowery meadows

But now the news says they’re full of pedos.

There hasn’t been a film worth watching for a year.

Now I could watch Star Wars again

Or read a book or try some zen

But I’m leaning towards a Tide Pod and a beer.

You can’t see the stars at night;

We’re devoid of light delights.

It’s the darkest season most of us have faced.

But the laundry in the dryer

Caused another forest fire

And we can’t let all that detergent go to waste…

I guess life ain’t all that bleak

Just cause girls are men and men are weak

And our food and water cause infertility.

Let’s count our blessings, me and you:

I’ll say “one”, and you say “two”,

Then have some denatorium benzoate with me.

Big Girls Are Settling Now

I read an inspiring article

About how blue whales reproduce.

Apparently, they interbreed with fin whales

Who are not as large or recluse.

The fact that these largest of animals

Might bring their endangerment to an end

Gives me hope. It should give you hope too

That a blue whale might be your girlfriend.

In Retrospect, The End Result Is The Same

Since democracy is suspect now

I’d like to propose a solution

That could make our governments honest

If we ensure proper execution:

Everyone who wants something to change

Writes down their ideas. Then next

They go in a pit with a cheetah or two

And whoever lasts longest we elect.

On the bright side, the number of lawyers will drop

And less people will share their dumb thoughts;

On the other hand, cheetahs don’t like to eat metal

So we’d end up all governed by bots…

Do I Sense A Theme?

So somebody made a game called Palworld

That’s like Pokemon with guns

But instead of having free healthcare

It’s a survival game, which is fun.

The last time that I can remember

About Japanese monsters with guns

Was either the movie Godzilla

Or 1945 with megatons…

Apparently “Cosby-Cola” Is Not An Appropriate Suggestion

Our market research team said

Flavors that combine two fruity flavors

Like “strawberry-kiwi” and “lemon-lime”

Are massive money savers.

They asked us all to pick a pair

Of fruity tastes to try.

I suggested “date-grape”

And now I’m fired. They won’t say why…

Kings (Wait, What Word Were You Thinking Of?)

So explain to me again

How that word in your song

Is acceptable in rap

But if I say it, it’s wrong?

But if I say that word

With “vi” at the beginning

It’s no longer offensive

And the world just keeps on spinning?

Cement Prices Keep Going Up, After All

God gave you a tree

And He gave you a saw

And by cutting the tree

You’ve accomplished the law.

God gave you a pothole

And He gave you a car

And now there’s a climate protest…

You with me so far?

Pussy On The Web?

True story: I work remotely

And at my meeting today

My cat jumped up onto my lap

And looked at me, then lay

Belly-up and legs upwards

To show the world his… that

So anyway, I texted my wife

To tell her about our porno cat.

But after a good laugh

At kitty’s lack of inhibition

I said something I shouldn’t have

While Alexa sat to listen:

I made a joke about “kitty porn”

But pronounced the T’s as “D”.

Please know that’s why I disappeared

If big brother comes for me.

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.

It’s All The Rage In The Middle East These Days!

I saw a survey at a shop

That made me pause, then fully stop.

It asked “What flavor would you want

“To drink here in our restaurant?”

I think they wanted “Pumpkin spice”,

“Caramel pecan”, or something nice.

I wrote “The blood of politicians

“Collected via millions of small incisions.”
