Unhelpful Knowledge 101

Anyone who complains about math

Because they’ll never use it in real life

Has never memorized the periodic table

Or heard about saying “No” to your wife.

Limerick for a Job Interview

There once was a gap in a resumé

That occurred when the candidate was away

‘Cause when you’ve had enough crap

Turns out a resumé gap

Can be just what you need. Okay?

Man’s Favorite Hobby

Sometimes you go to the bathroom

To just get away from it all

Or sometimes you make a poop

That’s the color of Darth Maul.

They both take about the same time

To finish, which is alright.

I did one while writing this poem

So you’re welcome. Now good night.

My First Bachelor Party (True Story)

I ate a lot of sushi

And I drove a lot of miles

And played a lot of board games

And enjoyed a lot of smiles

And now I’m in a Lexus

Writing poems on my phone

And so far I’ve only said one thing

For which I must atone…

Ye Olde Thug Lyfe

If I were a rapper I’d write some sick rhymes

About crimes and hard times and increasingly warm climes

But instead I’m a blogger and I’m writing these verses

Without curses so my readers won’t go out and steal purses.

Instead of glorifying living as a thug out on the street

I’m all for the institution’s safe and sanctioned meet-and-greet

And if you thinkin’ I’m a sellout I’ll correct you: If you think

Anything I’ve written here‘s worth paying for… go get a shrink.

Greenbacks aren’t a flowing to this blogger’s cargo pockets

Like they do for Tommy Cruise or to that baller Tyler Lockett’s

But I’m rewarded with a gift that no celebrity gets:

I can wear sweat pants to Costco and no one gives two shits!

Nature’s Chosen

Once in every generation

There is born a chosen one

Who eats their veggie burger

Wrapped in lettuce in lieu of a bun

Then drinks a pint of water

That they brought from their house

Because unfiltered tap water has chemicals

And plastic bottles they don’t espouse.

If you are of the lucky few

Who meet this special soul

It is your sacred duty

And your most important role

To take this person to your home

And shoot them in the head

So we can stop this “special” nonsense

And just eat our meat instead.

Also, We Had To Use The Pythagorean Theorem To Calculate Burrowing Speed, So We Are Nerdier Than Thee

We stayed up late

Playing D&D.

Yay for my players

But woe for readers (aka thee).

Maybe Poverty Is Good?

A week ago five billionaires

Paid half a million each

To sink into the ocean

To within Titanic‘s reach.

Today, a billionaire put up

For sale a chance to fly

Into space, which makes my face

Nonverbally scream “Why?”

On Commencement

Once a year, a million kids

Quit going to a school

And they rent ugly hats and dresses

Because that’s just the rule.

Everybody’s name is read

And then the hats are thrown

And a million kids proceed to then

Forget what they had known.

Then a half a million kids

Go to school that costs a lot

Where they try to sleep with other kids

And, if they’re me, do not.

The other half get jobs at places

Where food is microwaved

Or join the “Guns and Tanks” patrol

And thus the world is saved.

This graduation from a child

To learned adult is great.

And now I must excuse myself;

For bed, I’m somewhat late.

Priorities

If you put your life on the line

To defend our nation

You get one day for

A long weekend vacation.

If you decide

“Everyone turns me on”

You get all of June

To be praised unto dawn.

But whether you’re mad

That the alphabet crew

Get a month, or that veterans

Kinda get screwed

What we must remember

With all we hold dear

Is that China gives bunnies

A whole freakin’ year!
