Genre-Dependent

Music is the universal language.

It can communicate to anyone at all

Things like “I have bad taste in music”

And “Girl, hop in! We’re going to the mall!”

And With That, The Silence Ended

Tomorrow is Christmas eve

And today’s the 16th day of Chanukah.

I am six years old today

And you bought me a harmonica!

Mrs. Snyder Was Right

I know I shouldn’t have walked alone

Through the parking garage at night,

Especially when it’s very dark

And I am very white.

Some hoodlums did assail me

And called “Hands in the air!”

But I did not not obey them

And instead without a care

Reached deep inside my jacket

Where I keep my alto recorder

And I played the G Major scale

To restore the law and order.

And so the hoodlums left me

And I drove home just fine.

That’s why you pay attention in school.

Now what’s the log (base ten) of nine?

A Winter’s Tune

When your heart calls to its pair

Through the rime of Winter’s air

Be sure it’s cry is strong and true

So its twin may sing to you.

But should your heart’s dear, after pause,

Sing “I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause”

You may be wise to weave and sway

Then run like Hell the other way.

Stay

You’ve gotta go

To go see a show

That a small town like me can’t provide.

You’ve dreamed of a start

That’s a lifetime apart

From how I make you feel inside.

Your castle awaits

Where a panel of fates

Wants to hear of your fall fashion line.

I’ll help with your coat

And row over the moat

All while insisting I’m fine.

When you came along

And we started our song

We both knew one day it would end.

I dreamed of five-one

But you dreamed of more fun

So I tell people you’re just a friend.

I hope your sunsets

Are as good as it gets

And your kingdom will kneel and bow

While at the same time

It feels like a crime

That I want to say “stay” anyhow.

It’s Like “Plop” And I Just Met My Weight-Loss Goal

Sure, falling in love is satisfying

But have you ever had a poop where you thought

Everything in life was good again?

Apparently the music business has not.

The Rhythm Of Universal Truth

No matter the size of our brains

Or the density of our bums

All humans are united in knowing

That buttocks can double as bongo drums.

The Day God Made Africa?

And on the twenty-second day

God said “Let 99 men moisten the grass

“And the hundredth man you shall eschew”.

Even then it was widely known

That one hundred men or more

Could never dew.

The Best Revenge Is A Fifth Grade Band Student

Blow ye trumpet!

Blow yer horn

From sunset ‘til

Tomorrow morn’.

Bugle brightly

As if in labor

For I’m out of town

And I hate my neighbors!

Music and Lyrics

I heard some kids sing “Old McDonald”

Singing “With a moo moo here and a moo moo there,

“Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo.”

Then I turned on the radio

And heard a 41-year-old sing

“Who rules the world? Girls.

“Who rules the world? Girls.

“Who rules the world? Girls.

“Who rules the world? Girls.”

Children deserve more respect.
