If At First You Don’t Succeed…

There twice was an unlikeable chick

Who expressed her detractors were “Ick”.

She lost to a man

With a very fake tan

And I’m not opposed to the schtick.

Dear Every Channel Today, Apparently…

If you feel the need to change our minds

Two days before our votes are cast

I suggest that your campaign was crap

And the time for changing minds has passed.

Being 30

I voted today for the president.

Then with my civic duty complete

I played Mario Party with teenagers

And had waffles with whipped cream to eat.

Four Years Is A Long Time To Not Be Held Accountable

If we held an election

Every 3 months, I’ve found

That three months before each election

The price of gas would go down,

Mortgage and interest rates lower,

Groceries cost less to buy,

And if your candidate loses

You only suffer three months of “that guy.”

The Menace Is No Longer Phantom

In 1999 they released a film

About an old guy that starts a galactic war

Where one side wants free markets

And one side wants big government

But they both serve the same exact dark lord

Now in 2024 we’re given a choice

Between two wrinkly warmongers as well

And I’m going to vote for the one

Who shoots lightning from his thumbs

‘Cause that’s the objectively cooler ruler of Hell.

Happy Election Day!

Today, America extends a query

To test the ever-popular theory

And forever end the debate

About whether love is stronger than hate.

We’re given two men with no virtues to note

And told it’s important to go out and vote.

One choice is to vote that you love Barron’s dad,

Or else just to vote that you think “Orange Man Bad.”

As for the white guy who’ll earn half the votes

Who creeps people out and has quotable quotes…

One guy will win, half the nation will cry,

And celebrities still won’t move to Canada… sigh.

Maybe This Is Why That Sub-Genre Is Dead

You know Jumanji,

Zathura and such –

Those movies where board games

Get to be a bit much?

I think this election

Is the Jumanji-equivalent

Of Monopoly, where rich people

Make voters ambivalent.

And The Results Aren’t Even In!

Tonight in America…

All I’ve got to say

Is that yesterday’s poem

Is fading farther away.

Okay, I lied.

Either way four more years

Of falling stock values

And high sales of beers.

It’s A Metaphor For The Debate, Just FYI

Imagine a beach, sunny and warm.

The air is still, the tide is low.

A sandcastle and a tumbleweed

Wait for when the wind will blow

For with the wind come mighty waves

And so the castle foretells its fall.

The tumbleweed senses the moment when

The winds will answer its lazy call.

A bit of dirt dressed nobly

Collapses as the breezes rise.

A pointless weed will dance with joy

Among the currents of the sky.

A dirty house, an unrooted plant

So come together, sand and weeds:

They may not be what America wants

But the CPD says they’re what America needs.

It Works For Both Of Them

It’s 3:00 AM

And there’s nothing to eat

So I mudered my neighbors

And fried up their meat.

Then I turned on the news

And what did I see

But “2016 Election Coverage”

And a picture of me. 🙂
