When The Beloved Classic Novel Has A Slow Start

Sorry, Scout and co…

I don’t care about your town.

Just kill the dang bird!

Sharing My Wisdom In This Time Of Change

People are outraged that Cracker Barrel

Made its logo more generic.

As long as they keep the peg game

I’ll refrain from being choleric.

When Counting Your Blessings Doesn’t Work, Try Counting Your Absences

Everyone in the world

Should get a chihuahua

From the government, totally free

Because when they all die

We’ll all understand

How much better life is when dog-free.

Sincerely, Educated White Dudes

I’m not much of a gangster

And I’m not a street-smart guy

So can anyone enlighten me

How so much gets you high?

For example, bath salts

And keyboard cleaner cans

Made someone want to sniff them

And promptly earned their bans…

Who are the people purchasing

And sniffing random goods

To see if something in them

Makes them feel different moods?

And if it’s not trial and error

But some scientific knowledge

That tells you what’s worth selling

On the street to pay for college

Then why aren’t people using

This backroom chemical expertise

To make it so the methheads

Can unabashedly say “cheese”?

El Haiku Mucho Bueno

Burritos are great;

They put smiles on your face

And songs in your butt.

The Future Is Now

I write an essay for my class

Using ChatGPT.

The AI-checker software says

It was written by me.

But I write a post on Facebook

That includes the phrase, “The Jews”

And I get called a Russian bot

And scolded on the news.

When You Hit 18, That’s When You Buy A New One

If your underwear

Doesn’t have at least nine holes

You might be a chick

Karaoke

Somewhere in Japan

Somebody hired a band

But the singer didn’t show up for the thing

So the others hatched a plan

That the world considered grand:

They’d make the audience get up and sing.

The result, as you’d expect

Was not a pretty song

But a bunch of office workers all off-key.

The band all stood erect

As everything went wrong

And now this is a favorite globally.

Girls Just LOVE Exfoliating

My forehead is sunburnt

And peeling a bit.

My wife, for some reason,

Is playing with it,

Peeling my flesh off

With childish glee

And I love that I found someone

Weirder than me.

Vacation, Part VIII (Regret)

I am home at last!

If you read my last six posts

There’s no secret code.
