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.”

Why Brand Name Matters

You’ve heard of fasting,

Juice cleanses, and diets.

I decided I’m growing

And thus I should try it…

But which one to pick?

Well, I like foreign dining

So I’ll eat naan and tacos

And avoid pain and whining.

We’ll have Greek food for lunch

And, for dinner, Korean.

Isn’t my ethnic cleanse plan

So delightfully freeing?

Bill Jigger Gets Rejected From MIT

Bill Nye became a science guy

Because he rhymed his name

But my parents still won’t tell me why

I cannot do the same…

And Then We Got The Modern TSA…

‘Twas the night before National Report Medicare Fraud Day

And all of the drama

Happened in NYC

Largely due to Osama.

The planes were a flying

And the pilots were wild

And the towers that were twins

Became an only-child.

But alas, that new status

Was not long for this world

As another plane crashed

And tower two curled.

Then we heard men exclaim

As the tow’rs became soil:

“Yay American unity!

“Now let’s go steal some oil.”

That Would Probably Bug Him

I think when the Buddha slept

He gave thanks for having grand wits

And also that no one referred to him

As Mr. Praying Man-Tits.

The Ends Justify The Means

I think the government should give everyone

A tiger to keep as a pet. Sure,

A lot of dumb people might become Fancy Feast

But traffic would be so much better!
