Yay Democracy!

Trying to fix politics

By working from within

Is like using a trowel

To fill the Grand Canyon in.

Alas, fixing politics

By showing up to vote

Is like taking that same trowel

To South Dakota via boat.

Election Years

Do you feel the suction,

The all-consuming swirl

That spins you round and round

Until you have to hurl?

No, it’s not a whirlpool,

Tornado, or typhoon.

It’s the suck of the political ads

Headed your way soon.

Pre-Presidential Career Advice

Math has strength in numbers,

Computer science has Intel.

Musicians can pull the strings,

And drama can as well.

But the nerdy occupation

That wins while hardly trying

Are the mattress beta-testers,

‘Cause, oh man, they’re good at lying.
