Six Years Old And Already Screaming About Stuff That Doesn’t Matter

Today I taught a first-grade class

And of the 18 kids

Six were joys, six were invisible,

And six blew off their lids.

So one of three will be successful

And one in three will be cute

And one in three do nothing, but loudly

Which is just who the Feds will recruit.

We’re Living In A Fairy Tale

Once, there were some evil kings

Who did a lot of evil things.

As times go, it was not pleasant.

Unfortunately, that time’s the present.

History Repeating Itself

Only took three years

Of England having a king

To become evil…

Choice of the FedEx Driver

I could park my truck

And walk up to the house

And place a package on the door

Or hand it to a spouse.

I also have the option

To relive my high school ways

And chuck a 40-yard touchdown

With whatever peasants buy these days…

Kids These Days…

My parents were trees;

I’m a cone that you step on

To make crackle sounds.

Dream Jobs

The zookeeper likes animals

But ends up shoveling poo.

The librarian likes books

But tells the homeless people “shoo”.

The teacher wants to help kids

But the principal says no.

The customer service rep

Ran out of dreams three shifts ago.

Meanwhile, in my living room

I turn my camera off on Zoom

And watch Youtube while bosses talk

Of how to raise the price of stock.

High School Science, 2025

Men are from Mars.

Women are from Venus.

Explain in 500 words

Why you should chop off your penis.

No Fire Breath Required

Soon the dragons will come returning

And watch our nations burn and fall

And say, “My goodness, look at them go!

“Guess they didn’t need us after all.”

When Counting Your Blessings Doesn’t Work, Try Counting Your Absences

Everyone in the world

Should get a chihuahua

From the government, totally free

Because when they all die

We’ll all understand

How much better life is when dog-free.

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.
