Don’t Worry… It’s In Kilomters Per Hour

Weiting poetry

Is something not to do

When driving down the higheay

At around 102

And yet it makes a great excuse

For lazy guys like me

To not edit my tpoes

Before I publish what you see.

Also, If Anyone Knows How To Do Affiliate Marketing, Please Help Me Pay For The Lawyers?

I bought these things on Amazon

That turn your fire blue.

You throw a little packet in

And the flames change shades. It’s true!

But apparently my wife found them

And thought I was a liar

And I made the mistake of requesting

That she “dye in the fire”.

The Mighty Nine

They graded us with letters,

Best to worst, or “A” through “E“,

And they assigned a “Mighty Nine”

To define what an “A” could be.

The Mighty Nine were to refine

Our fine society

But none of the nine turned out to be

Much better than a “C”.

So “E”s and “D”s, eager to please

The Mighty Nine did strive

Not for a ten-star effort

But settled for a five

While the “A”s and “B”s exceeded

What the Mighty Nine could do

And thus were graded out of ten

Merely a one or two.

Meanwhile, they, the many “C”s

Who chose the Mighty Nine,

Smiled at the system

Which, to them, was mighty fine

And the “A”s and “B”s quit trying

And the “D”s and “E”s died out

And the Mighty Nine, all smiling,

Redefined what life’s about.

The Mighty Nine were models

Of what every “A” should be

But, seized by “C”s, became diseased

With mediocrity.

So cautious be of leaders

Who are mirrors of their peers

Or else the Mighty Nine will reign

Another ninety years.

That Was My First Mistake

You ask how I got this black eye?

Are you sure you want to hear it?

Well, my options were fight or flight

And my airline of choice is Spirit.

Am I Trusting The Science Right Yet?

I want to compare test answers

‘Cause I don’t think I passed…

The world is going to flood because

We’re using too much gas

So an African guy made a car

That uses electricity

And people are setting those cars on fire

Because of bad publicity?

But I thought the existential threat

Was a warming atmosphere?

Why are we taking violent action

So the air cannot stay clear?

And somehow its the billionaires

Who’re making us be poor

By reducing all our taxes

And keeping thieves out of their store?

Forgive me if I missed a point…

There’s just so much to learn!

What say we light another joint

And watch the city burn?

Shoulda Sat?

Lonely toilet, late at night.

I don’t need no stinkin’ light.

Wait? Why don’t I hear a splash?

Oops! Guess that bowl was the trash.

Thus Spake The Lord

So God was like “I made animals

“And they’re useful and delicious

“But you chose to eat an apple

“And so, to be malicious,

“I’ll make your parents teach you

“That vegetables are good

“And also make steak cost way more

“Than such meat ever should.”

If At First You Don’t Succeed…

And Jesus told the apostles

“One of you will betray me”.

And the apostles looked at each other

And said in unison, “We disagree.”

And so Jesus kept on living

And everyone kept sinning freely

And God queued up yet another flood

While mumbling to himself, “Really…?”

Apparently “Cosby-Cola” Is Not An Appropriate Suggestion

Our market research team said

Flavors that combine two fruity flavors

Like “strawberry-kiwi” and “lemon-lime”

Are massive money savers.

They asked us all to pick a pair

Of fruity tastes to try.

I suggested “date-grape”

And now I’m fired. They won’t say why…

Pussy On The Web?

True story: I work remotely

And at my meeting today

My cat jumped up onto my lap

And looked at me, then lay

Belly-up and legs upwards

To show the world his… that

So anyway, I texted my wife

To tell her about our porno cat.

But after a good laugh

At kitty’s lack of inhibition

I said something I shouldn’t have

While Alexa sat to listen:

I made a joke about “kitty porn”

But pronounced the T’s as “D”.

Please know that’s why I disappeared

If big brother comes for me.
