How To Win A Fight With A Gorilla

Just don’t watch your children

When you take them to the zoo.

If it worked for Harambe

It’ll probably work for you.

21-Year-Old American Boy

I wish I had a plasma gun

Attached to the front of my car

‘Cause everyone would say “he’s here”

Whenever I drive to the bar.

My Two Cents

If a homeless person

Asks you for some cash

And you give them some pennies

You are literally human trash.

To give someone a penny

When they’re sleeping outside on the ground

Is to say “You’re still broke, but at least

“I don’t have to carry this f*%^ing penny around.”

As For Me… I Was A Goldfish

Benny was a hamster,

An upper-middle class rat.

He lived seven years

In a house with a cat.

He suffered anxiety

Throughout his meager years.

Then he was eaten and came back

As a worker at Sears.

This tale is bland

At face-value only.

It’s a tale of courage

Despite being lonely.

I urge you, have compassion

For all that you meet

For in a previous life

They may have been meat.

Why I Love Baseball

“Batter Up!” The umpire yelled,

And then he screamed in fright

As the crowd smeared uncooked pancakes on themselves

And ran off into the night.

I Hope The Punchline Won’t Drive You Away

Whenever I’m awake at night

Not able to go to sleep

I’ll sneak outside so quietly

Without making a peep

And head off to the landfill

Where old car parts fill a ditch

And I snuggle up with a Michelin,

Bridgestone, or BFGoodrich.

You may just think I’m sleezy,

Like my brain somehow misfired,

But it’s the only way I know

To get really good and tired.

Jesus Christ, Millennial

I want a pet Tyranosaurus

And a 10,000 square-foot house.

I want a 90-inch computer

And a solid platinum mouse.

I want the watch that Elvis wore

And a phone that does my dishes

But I can only walk on water

And play with loaves and fishes.

Good Days

It’s tough to write a daily poem

About daily terrible things

When nothing bad happens.

This poem is self-evident.

The Rich Man Thinketh

I’ve developed a nasty growth,

A blighting blob of bloat

Called a sense of self-importance.

I have a strong desire to gloat.

Considering my presence

On this great orb on which we float

I realize how unhealthy this is,

Yet I’ll still buy that fur coat.

Forrest Gump 2: Lost In New York

Life is like a box of chocolates:

It costs money and makes you fat.

Most people enjoy it as it kills them slowly.

Yeah, life’s a lot like that.

But it doesn’t have to be:

We can smile and and act as equals

Starting with something on which we all agree,

Specifically that most movies don’t need sequels.
