On The Virtue Of Realistic Standards

What is a horse other than a unicorn

That doesn’t have a shiny horn

Or wings or pink hair or magical power

And never, ever takes a shower?

So why would you ever want a horse

When a unicorn is better with no recourse?

The answer, dear reader, in case you are stumped

Is precisely why even Tom Brady gets dumped.

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.

And It Has Zero Calories!

I’ve invented a new cocktail

That’s a lot like a White Russian

But without the vodka, liqueur, cream, or ice.

It’s called a “Political Discussion”.

The Butterfly Effect

There comes a time in every man’s life

Where he is trapped with his female kin

And there’s crying and talking and crafting galore

And he’s trying his best to fit in

But after an hour of trying to talk

And solve problems, he has an epiphany:

His life as he knows it is over because

He hit on a waitress named Tiffany…

The Ends Justify The Means

I think the government should give everyone

A tiger to keep as a pet. Sure,

A lot of dumb people might become Fancy Feast

But traffic would be so much better!

If It Worked For Church And State, Try It For Man And Machine

With people being all concerned

About AI taking over these days

I think I have a solution

To combat the malaise:

Instead of names like “Cleverbot”,

Or “Alexa”, we can swerve

And name all robots “Killmonger 3000”

And we’ll trust them as much as they deserve.

I Could Go On, But I Don’t Want To Peacock

I wish we called colors by animal names

Because it’s infinitely more awesome

To paint a car shark instead of just grey

Or pour cream ‘til your coffee is possum.

Limerick for a Job Interview

There once was a gap in a resumé

That occurred when the candidate was away

‘Cause when you’ve had enough crap

Turns out a resumé gap

Can be just what you need. Okay?

An Accurate Portrayal Of Tension Is Limited By The Medium Of Expression

I’m on bad wifi

Trying to publish a post

But I think it might…

Root Beer

It’s brown, sweet, and bubbly

With plenty of fuzz

And it foams when you pour it

‘Cause that’s what it does.

But why I really love it

Is it’s the only thing that never

Appears in advertisements

Anywhere, ever!
