Origins Of Chess

There once was a man with a horse

That would not walk straight without force.

Inspired by this thought

The horse was soon shot

And the man made a board game instead.

When They Won’t Sing The Last Song Until Dean What’s-His-Face Reiterates For The Fourth Time What An Honor And privilege It Is To Congratulate His Colleague On A Career That Has Been Rewarding In So Many Innumerable Ways, Among Which Are…

There once was a director of the choir

Who, after 50 years, decided to retire.

His boss gave a speech

Of such momentous reach

That I had no choice but to open fire.

Limerick vs. LinkedIn

There once was a guy named Bob

Who’d never had a job.

He lived on his own

Died all alone,

Decomposed into an unrecognizable blob.

OR

Writing to share the memory of my beloved colleague and life coach, Robert.

He was a man of unparalleled entrepreneurial vision,

A self-made man and independent thinker

Who lived life on his own terms.

His passing inspires us all to further our ownership,

Reflect on our humility,

And scale our amorphous impacts toward the next incarnation of progress.

Good Night In Seattle

THE BIRDS AND THE SHEEP PLAYED A GAME

AND AT FIRST, YEAH, THE BIRDS LOOKED LAME

THEN WE WENT TO OT

AND OH GOOD GOLLY GEE

GIVE RESPECT TO OUR SEAHAWKS’ NAME!

Helping In The Kitchen

If you make some lemon chiffon

Then add escargot and dijon

Then turn up the mixer

You make an elixir

That makes wife cook all meals from now on.

Magic Mike or Fabulous Frank?

There once was a dancer whose thighs

Were of the most momentous size.

Picking up girls was easy

And he never seemed sleazy.

Alas, he was just into guys.

But There Is An “I” In “Heavy Sigh”

They say there’s no “I” in team

Which makes me want to scream

‘Cause there’s no “I” in “eye”

Nor in “aye”, “fly”, “guy”, “spy”,

So it’s not as mundane as would seem.

Ja?

To my homeys in Mexico:

Without context, how do you know

If it’s Santa’s bellow

Or a rapper’s Hello

When you read the words “Jo jo jo”?
