Tearjerker Country Songs 101

It’s a stormy night of sorts

And there’s a church nearby

And the preacher with a troubled past

Welcomes some stranded guy.

They small talk for a while

Until the preacher tells the tale

Of how some dude did something bad

And didn’t go to jail.

Some family member died too young

And everybody’s sad

And you get the impression

That God is really bad.

But then the random stranger

Who was talking to the priest

Is suddenly regretful

And reveals he was the beast

Who did the aforementioned crime

That caused the kid to die.

Then he says “Will you forgive me?”

And everybody starts to cry.

Then everybody’s fine and stuff

And no one finds it odd

That injustice is suddenly fine somehow

‘Cause hey, why not? Yay God!

I Didn’t Finish This Poem… You’re Welcome

‘Twas the night after Kwanzaa

And all through the house

The whole family was stirring

But there was no male spouse…

The String Theory of Christmas

‘Twas the night after Christmas

And the night before too…

Santa worked with the time machine

‘Til he turned blue,

For he needed to ship out

A few billion presents

To all of the children

Of all of the peasants.

The flux gear grew wonky

(Which you’ll see is not great)

And entangled poor Santa

Into some quantum state.

For Santa existed

And yet he did not,

As is demonstrable by

Some guy “Schroedinger’s” thought.

And so if you ask

“Mama, is Santa flying?”

She should say “yes AND no,”

Or else mama is lying.

If You Can Read This, Don’t Bother

Today is a holiday

As you likely know.

I ate. Now I’m lazy

So I’m gonna go.

When Your Vocabulary Is Larger Than Your Target Audience

‘Twas Christmas Eve morning

And one hirsute hyperborean

Was done making toys

And now streaming “The Mandolorian.”

In a matter of hours

Gifts would be delivered on-time.

Meanwhile, one naughty poet

Was pleased with a rhyme.

Allie Be Like “OMG It’s Like They’re Reading My Mind!”

A twenty-year-old white girl asked

Why mice seek out a trap.

Then she smiled and sang along

To ALL the gangster rap!

Relationship Goals

Two years ago on Sunday

I looked into her eyes

And promised her I love her

And I’m not like other guys.

One year ago on Sunday

I met with her and said

I’d fly us both to Venice

And we’d never leave the bed.

And now this year on Sunday

I’ll ask her to be my bride

And maybe this time she’ll says yes

And I’ll feel good inside!

How Important Is The Vaccine?

.00000005

Is the percent of Americans infected during this pandemic.

.00000005

Is evidence corruption is systemic.

If a million people gathered in a single room

And .00000005 percent got sick as hell

Then of the million gathered there would tell you

One twentieth of one of them might feel a bit unwell.

.00000005

Is a number sixteen syllables long.

And yet it shut down the world for a year

And you ask me what I think is wrong?

1-17 Are Just Slime… 19-100 Are Escargot

When my car won’t work

Because something is faulty

I tend to get angry

Or, some would say, salty.

Yes, salt and rage fill me

Whenever I fail…

That’s reason 18

I’m glad I’m not a snail.

At Least The Pills Are Small

If you’re an ant

And you just can’t

Because of your upset tummy

So you eat a tum

And murmur “yum”

Because you’re not a dummy

But then you’re sad

And feel bad

And wish the pain hadn’t pass-ed

You take a bite

That feels right

Of an ant-anti-antacid.
