News I Learned From Memes Interpreted As A Haiku Because Thursday

Trump’s on Epstein’s list.

Someone’s gun went boom too soon.

England’s a hellhole.

My Favorite Superhero

We’ve got people addicted to drugs,

Alcohol, porn, and their phones

Yet my cat hears someone say “pspspspsps”

And just feels content deep in his bones.

A Practical Alternative to Thoughts and Prayers

I think we need a reverse Make-a-Wish

Where kids with cancer go see

Some self-absorbed millionaire bozos

Who’re all caught up in “poor me”,

And little bald Kaleb can smile

And give Mr. Rich a high five.

If we do this enough they might donate stuff

And the cancer kids might stay alive.

Amusing Musings In A World Without Muses Blues

Today I got up early

Around 5:00 AM or so. Um,

I spent my morning working

But not writing a poem.

I ate my lunch and read a book

With my mind never immersed

In considering a meter

Nor its counterpart of verse.

This evening after dinner

I took a shower hot

And massaged my wife’s posterior

Without a single thought

Regarding writing poetry,

Yet presently I’m writing it

So if you’d beat your writer’s block

Perhaps you should stop fighting it.

Cosmic Injustice

Mercury has thermometers.

Venus has carnivorous plants.

Mars has chocolate candy

But Earth gets freakin’ ants?!

Frodo’s Notes In The Margin

“Bring the ring to Mordor, kid”

Gandalf told me and so I did.

It caused me scars that forever linger,

Mostly that I can’t give Gandalf the finger.

Thanks, Millennials

If you’d like a hamburger

It only costs a dollar.

If you want cheese on it

It’ll cost you dollars two.

Want to add some bacon?

That’s two dollars fifty.

Want some avacado?

Your firstborn kid will do.

Still Better Than JJ Abrams

Did you hear about the filmmaker

Named “Very Clumsy Greg”

Who was famous on the set

For always hurting his leg?

Well, one day during filming

As a scene was to begin

He said, “Lights”, then he said “camera”,

And then he said, “Ack! Shin!”

How Little Things Change

In the days when Jesus walked the Earth

Many people had names

More akin to Shaniqua and Carston

Than Luke, Mary, Joseph, or James.

Those people lived lives that were normal and happy

But long since forgotten to time;

No one wrote a hymn for Shaniqua

Because it was too hard to rhyme.

Minimum Wage, No Respect, Nuclear Waste, And Now This?

A toast to all the henchmen,

The goons, the dorks, the minions

Who were killed by superheroes

Due to differences of opinions

Between said superheroes

And the employers of the underling throng

Who are alive and well in jail

‘Cause kids, killing is wrong.
