Karaoke

Somewhere in Japan

Somebody hired a band

But the singer didn’t show up for the thing

So the others hatched a plan

That the world considered grand:

They’d make the audience get up and sing.

The result, as you’d expect

Was not a pretty song

But a bunch of office workers all off-key.

The band all stood erect

As everything went wrong

And now this is a favorite globally.

Why I Don’t Go To Open-Mics Anymore

With a voice like something crushed between a bagpipe warming up

And an elephant gargling human teeth, kevlar, and 7-Up

She turned her face towards me (which neither she nor I enjoyed)

And said “Thank you for listening. That was “Hey you” by Pink Floyd.”
