A Potion For Happiness

Start with a cold cup of water

With an ice cube or two to be sure,

Then pour in some lemon and iodine

And crack in an egg, raw and pure.

Whisk it with vigor and emphasis

Then plop in a gobbet of spit.

Your potion is done! Now go find someone,

And into their face you toss it!

Thus, I Accepted My Fate

The dragon loomed above me

Drooling volcanic spittle.

He said to me “I’ll spare your life

“If you answer me this riddle.”

Then I saw the dragon smile,

Its eyes a golden sheen:

“What’s harder to fix? The government

“Or the McDonald’s ice cream machine?”

Where The Senators Cared And The Emperors Were Regularly Assassinated

All I can say about our state of affairs

Is that watching movies about Rome

Makes me think “This government’s ok,

“Or at least better than the one back home.”

But… The Metaphors?

“This movie is great, I promise”.

Those were the words I said.

Then I remembered that one scene

Where they shot the dude in the head

And the bit with the serial killer

And the… actually, never mind.

Maybe next time we’ll watch a movie

That you happen to find.

Meanwhile, Google’s AI Says…

If I had a nickel

For every commercial starring a white guy

I would have as much money

As the black people who aren’t in ads.

—————————————————————

Violets are black.

Roses are black.

Criminals are racially diverse

So cut me some slack.

—————————————————————

Sure, the future isn’t white

But don’t you worry! It’s alright!

Europe’s long past its golden days

And no one likes swimming anyways.

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…
