Great White Privilege

There once was a great white shark

Who lived in an amusement park.

He liked to eat fish

And every day got his wish…

Bet things would be different if he were dark.

Somebody’s Gonna Feel Butt-Hurt

Today you might feel sad

But you’re still better off than the guy

Who bought 90 rolls of toilet paper

Then found out it’s all single-ply.

Pickup Artists, March 2020

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

TP is white

And I’ve got some for you!

Some Jobs Can’t Catch A Break…

Where I live in Washington

The schools are shutting down.

The restaurants are closing

All across my little town.

Musicians, actors, dancers

Have no place to ply their trade

And artists cannot show their work

And therefor can’t get paid.

Amidst setbacks and panic

There’s a cloud with a silver-line:

Though you cannot learn or act

Or dance or sing or dine

There is no ban on poetry

Being posted on the net;

Thus why I’m still writing at 10:39.

Is this virus over yet?

We’re Also Live-Streaming Bird Songs And Countable Sheep

This is your local government

Now or pretty soon

Emailing to let you know

That we sanitized the moon.

Looking into space

Will no longer cause disease

So while we cancel everything

Go stargaze as you please.

Reasons I’m Moving To Japan

I wish, when first you met someone

You’d know if you should care

And could see if they’re important

By the weirdness of their hair.

I wish that all decisions

Could be solved in such a way

That a card game or a cook-off

Would decide who rules the day.

I wish that every skill

Could be mastered in an hour

Through a training montage sequence

And above-3,000 power.

But I would trade these wishes

Plus a leg and six months pay

For the girls in real life

To be the girls in anime.

Different Blokes

Steve and Sharocco are tigers

But they are not alike.

Steve enjoys a day at the spa;

Sharocco likes to hike.

Steve likes Bob Ross videos;

Sharocco likes to knit.

But both love eating human flesh

So along they somehow get.

An Unattainable Love

My breath smelled like a customer service hotline

So I set off to buy me a mint.

The vending machine said “Out of order”

But instead of taking the hint

I shook it, kicked it, bopped it, kissed it,

Took it to Peru.

Now it’s been 30 years today

Since it didn’t say “I do.”

The Right Answer Is Not Always Correct

“You have sixteen melons

“And I take ten away.

“What do you have left?”

Just this gun and newfound prey…

Keeping Your Head Above Water

I bought a fish named Clem on Tuesday

And by Wednesday he was dead.

I bought a fish named Joe on Thursday

But hid him under my bed.

Joe is living happily

Unlike poor, stubborn Clem

Who saw guys on TV and challenged himself

To hold his breath like them.
