The YouTuber’s Origin Story

One camera.

Two fools.

Three hours of editing.

Zero rules.

Nine minutes

About a cruise.

Two hours later

Seven views.

Upsides

The nice thing about AI ads

Is that they’re poorly done

So I’ve no need to buy their stuff

And so declare we won.

Another proof of victory

Is that the CEOs shelled out

A lot of money for this tech

And thus without a doubt

Will double down on ineffective

Tools for advertising.

AI will bring a golden age

Of happily not buying!

The Introvert’s Decision

Go big or go home?

Suffice to say I am not

Fond of going big.

The Internet Is On Life Support

So you’re telling me your business

Uses AI to write reviews

To improve my website traffic

And increase my daily views?

Then you show your website

And your 4.9 on Yelp

And expect me to believe you?

No, I do not need your help.

Indian Fireworks Vs. The Legal Crap

Fireworks and fireworks!

Kazam! Kazee! Badoo!

One flies up and lights the sky;

It makes me think of you.

Fireworks and fireworks

Far as the eye can see!

One flies up and fizzles;

It makes you think of me.

Where Do The Colonists Sign Up?

So when you die the tax man comes

To take of your estate

While you pay tax on a hospital bill,

Pine box, and granite slate,

Then wear taxed clothes to the funeral.

You’ll arrive in taxed-gas powered cars

Which is why I will die as an astronaut:

‘Cause there’s no taxes yet on Mars.

Are You There God? It’s Me, Fluffles

I am a fearsome hunter

And have killed a hundred men

And yet I sleep in peace, filled with

Tranquility and zen

Because someday I hope I may

Catch some deity’s eye.

They’ll think I’m cute and house me

In their mansion in the sky,

They’ll feed me all I can consume

And rub my belly while

Saying “Who’s a good warrior?”

With a goofy voice and smile,

And let me come and go all day

Through a small transparent flap

Instead of being human

And putting up with all this crap.

The Things I Do For My Wife

Today I ran a 5K race

With dribbling rain upon my face.

I paid thirty dollars to

Earn a free donut to share with you.

Now I’m soggy, tired, and sore

And I weigh at least a donut more,

But I see a smile in your eyes

And that is why I exercise.

Yes, I Owned A Walkman. Why Do You Ask?

Let me walk you through a moment

Of what I call “being me.”

Instead of streaming music

And paying a monthly fee

I plugged in my computer

From around 2008,

Pressed power on at 6:15

And it booted up by 8:00,

Loaded up my iTunes

From before it was an app

Then uploaded some files

That will make my right foot tap,

Plugged in my phone and synced it

For an hour and a half

Then enjoyed my music free of charge

With a joyful millennial laugh.

“SPF 50” Means 50 Seconds Of Safety

“Put on some sunscreen,” they said,

“Or else you’ll get all burnt and red.”

Now my flesh is peeling

And I have the feeling

That I have been grossly misled.
