I Used To Dress Up Like Grandma… Now I Save Other Animals From My Mistake

The big bad wolf went down to the coop

Where the farmer said “There’s 38 genders.”

The wolf ain’t ate no chickens so far

But he ate the chicken tenders.

Tesla? More Like Tes-lame! Am I Right?

In the high school for automobiles

No one likes the electric cars.

They don’t get invited to parties

And they aren’t the athletic stars.

Not even the nerds like the ‘lectrics

Because all the gas cars have colluded

To ensure what we’ve known all our lives:

That batteries aren’t included.

The Golden Age Of Hair Loss

Of all the times to be alive

Today is number one.

We’ve cured most bad diseases

And optimized our fun.

Our problems are the first-world type,

But what still seems kind of weird

Is that I was born when it’s fashionable

To be a bald guy with a beard.

The Real Party Is Getting 7-9 Hours Of Sleep Every Night

It’s Friday night

And the bar is hoppin’.

Folks are tired

From Christmas shoppin’.

All around

Drinks off are toppin’

And fists do fly

And guys be droppin’

But I don’t know

What pills they’re poppin’

‘Cause my bed said “Hi”

And into it I drop in.

Be Me, A 30-Year-Old Child

Wrapping paper tube

In my mind a light saber

Wife is not impressed

Guess What Part Of The Movie I Wrote This During?

What if we had a recognizable person

Talk over some muzak

About a mega corporation

About which they’re unenthusiastic

And we’ll have an inoffensive joke

Where a dad does something silly?

That’ll make people desire

To pay us willy-nilly!

Care To Wager How Long It Lasts?

So I was complaining (as most people do)

About things that I cannot halt

Like children addicted to iPads and also

Society as a gestalt

So I turned on a game at 10 in the morning

That finished at 10 in the night

And proceeded to burn my complaining permit

And accept that the world is all right.

Heroes

There’s a man I admire. He’s a rock star

And his lyrics have changed my life.

He accompanied me from a basement alone

To a home with my wonderful wife.

He told me his son has a hero

And it isn’t the guy that you think,

Not the man who’s inspiring millions

But the guy who fixed up the sink.

I’m content now to not be a rockstar,

To embrace all the skills I don’t see

Because somewhere a hero is watching

And perhaps is inspired by me.

I’ll endeavor to be the example

Of the way I think normal should go.

We can all be a hero to someone

Even if it’s someone we don’t know.

Ode To Brian Thompson

There was an insurance exec

Who got shot in the street. What the heck?

But instead of mass fear

Folks just let out a cheer,

Now relieved of one pain in the neck.

I’m, Uh, Wrapping Your Gifts? (Hehehe)

It’s the holiday season

Which is great for this reason:

It’s the only time of the year

That fully guilt-free

You can cut down a tree

And tell people “Don’t come in here!”
