Congressional Privilege

So we can’t pay employees

Who keep on working hard

Despite a shut-down government

With a maxed-out credit card

And yet we pay the people

Who got us in this mess

With money that we do not have?

‘Murica, I guess…

Oh Yeah… We’ll Also Make Every Micro-Sheet Get Dispensed Using Electricity Made From Burning Coal

So paper towels are made from trees

And killing tree will kill the Earth

So to save more trees and thus the planet

We must have a towel dispenser rebirth:

Henceforth no towel dispenser shall

Give more than a three-inch sheet.

Of course you can use it unlimited times.

Isn’t saving the planet neat?

I Failed My Wisdom Saving Throw

Work at 5:00 AM.

We played D&D tonight.

Sleep is optional.

Kids These Days…

My parents were trees;

I’m a cone that you step on

To make crackle sounds.

Dream Jobs

The zookeeper likes animals

But ends up shoveling poo.

The librarian likes books

But tells the homeless people “shoo”.

The teacher wants to help kids

But the principal says no.

The customer service rep

Ran out of dreams three shifts ago.

Meanwhile, in my living room

I turn my camera off on Zoom

And watch Youtube while bosses talk

Of how to raise the price of stock.

No Fire Breath Required

Soon the dragons will come returning

And watch our nations burn and fall

And say, “My goodness, look at them go!

“Guess they didn’t need us after all.”

Win-Win

If we throw the politicians

Into the holy volcano of K’raxx’iss

We’ll either ensure a bountiful harvest

Or pay a lot less in taxes.

Solving The Hunger Crisis One Innovation At A Time

In the future you’ll go to buy groceries

And the checkout robot will ask

To confirm that you are human

By completing a simple task:

Enter your username and password

And a random six-digit code

That was transmitted to your brain chip

From the authenticator node

Except your authenticator

Got a security update

That prevents your internal keyboard

From typing the number “8”

So you pause your grocery buying

And call the password reset guy

Which is just another robot

And you check “yes” to die.

The End Of Summer

Back to school is near…

Then, when kids are back in class

Pumpkin spice returns.
