Wishing You A Fungus-Free New Year

I’m starting out the new year

By achieving my daily goals

Like writing my daily poetry

And avoiding benzimidazoles.

And yes, my new goals do include

Some oddly specific stuff

But that’s the sacrifice we make

Because rhyming is tough.

I May Not Have Money, But I Have A Weird Imagination

I wish I had a yttrium-plated snow globe.

A yttrium-plated globe would make me smile

Because I’d have something no billionaire has

At least for a brief and satisfying while.

What Do You Mean This Is Ridiculous? Have You Tried It?

If you’re ever feeling lonely

Go to the store and buy a melon

Then drive to your local prison

And give your purchase to a felon.

Criminals love melons…

Seedy fruit for seedy guys.

Also, you’re no longer lonely

And, perhaps, you may be wise.

Side Effects Include Non-Sequiturs And Academic Integrity

The trees are all decked

With ornaments grand,

The stockings are stuffed

And the peaches are canned,

The sweatshirts are laundered

And the clouds are thundering

And the ointment is working

In case you were wondering.

Fable Of A Missing Cat

Kitty in the city

Went a wandering. Owner’s pondering

Where there cat be at

And will it be back? Night is black

And the feline made a beeline

Not thinking of the sinking

Feeling and sorrowful reeling

That has his human worried and fumin’.

For one whole day it stayed away

And then at twilight thought “Well alright

“I’ll return, for my human doth yearn

“For me to pee

“In his home. I shan’t roam.”

And thus the the cat said that was that.

Yet now he purrs as the wanderlust stirs…

My Foreign Policy Platform

I think instead of buying tanks

We should hire children

To run around with pool noodles

And speak in Italian to people

Who are unhappy

Because America deserves happiness

And we have to spend $33 trillion on something.

An Ode To Our Favorite Alien

There once was a Mon Calamari

Whose name was Admiral Ackbar. He

Was all like “Oh snap!”

And exclaimed “It’s a trap!”

And thanks to him the wars were all starry.

But They’re So Big!

I think if we sold ostrich eggs

Instead of chicken eggs, we’d find

That what I think’s a good idea

Is not what anyone else had in mind.

The Benefits Of Not Being Tan

In a world without coyotes

And a scarcity of ginger ale

I’d take comfort in the notion

That my legs would still be pale.

Moral Ambiguity In The Marvel Culinary Universe

Honorable dessert, cake of courage,

Your frosting is noble, your filling is strong.

Honorable dessert, please answer me this:

Is wanting to eat you so wrong?
