The Science Of Attraction

If you say something sweet to a glacier

And it melts their icy heart

They quietly whisper, “thawwwwwww”

And that’s how global warming starts.

Buffy Is Moving To Europe

Do vampires get uncomfortable

When writing a lowercase “t”?

When they order at a restaurant

Do they request their water unholy?

Do they avoid places that eat lots of garlic

And even avoid such a smell?

Because my conclusions lead me to believe

Italy is just vampire hell.

How Wars Start

Iran said to America, “You da bomb.”

America said, “No, you da bomb.”

And everything would have been ok

Except Israel ran and told their mom.

The Things I Do For My Wife

Today I ran a 5K race

With dribbling rain upon my face.

I paid thirty dollars to

Earn a free donut to share with you.

Now I’m soggy, tired, and sore

And I weigh at least a donut more,

But I see a smile in your eyes

And that is why I exercise.

I’ve Solved Crime!

Instead of putting folks in jail

Then releasing them later

What if we dressed criminals

So they looked like Darth Vader,

Make them wear black armor

And fill rooms with smoke

And whenever they breath

Make it sound like a choke?

That way when you’re walking

Down a poorly-lit street

You’d know if that stranger

You happened to meet

Is an innocent traveler

Who needs help with a tire

Or a half-robot mugger

Who’s also a liar.

They Weren’t Laughing… But There Were Other Signs

If anyone here is deaf

I have an important question:

Do I start jokes with “Have you heard the one about…”

Or do you have a better suggestion?

Follow For More Post-Apocalyptic Recipes

The sky has fallen

The sea has boiled

The Earth has shaken

The contingency’s foiled

The zombies prowl

But I’m okay:

Whipped cream goes “psshhhh”

And they can’t take that away

Wait… Did The French Just Surrender To Tourists?

So the Louvre closed its doors today

Which is how Mona Lisa would say

“Je ne t’aime pas

“Alors au revoir.”

(And yes, those do rhyme by the way)

Piano Tuning Saves Lives

If you sit at a piano

And you plink out A-C-E

Then you played an A Minor chord

So very easily.

But if you sit at a piano

That is really out of tune

Then you might screw up A Minor

And the cops will show up soon.
