We Could Have Had Super Soldiers By Now, And Yet…

Still no one has tried

Giving coffee to the sloths.

Science, what the #%**?

The Science Of Attraction

If you say something sweet to a glacier

And it melts their icy heart

They quietly whisper, “thawwwwwww”

And that’s how global warming starts.

Know Your Niche

I read a study recently

Where folks read poetry

Written both by poets

And impostor GPTs.

The funny part is readers

Rated all the AI stuff

Better in every category

Than the real poets’ fluff.

The only metric humans

Could equal AI at

Was the “originality” category.

Can you imagine that?

So, yes, robots are winning

But I’ll peacefully nap

Knowing I still have a stranglehold

On writing strictly crap.

Schrödinger’s Pillow Fort

So hypothetically, if I went in a box

And scientists didn’t know

That I’d gone in a box at all

It would be as though

I was simultaneously dead and alive

And in a quantum flux

And on behalf of others in my box fort

I think that kinda sucks.

Better Safe Than Sorry

I’m living life in such a way

That if anybody would

Try to steal my brain for science

Science would say, “No thanks, I’m good.”

Bill Jigger Gets Rejected From MIT

Bill Nye became a science guy

Because he rhymed his name

But my parents still won’t tell me why

I cannot do the same…

Don’t Question The Logic… Just Enjoy The Conclusion

I think that absolute proof

That a time machine exists

Is the fact that someone went back in time

And found a T-Rex

And said “Aww yeah… T-Rex….”

And then got eaten

And nobody has time traveled since.

Middle School Science Be Like… (Also, I Have No Idea What Color Jupiter Is, But Neither Do You, So Ha!)

Mercury is number one,

Venus is where women are from,

Mars is a song with lots of snare drum,

Jupiter is the color of plum,

Saturn has a bunch of rings,

Uranus is full of gas and things,

Neptune’s famed for icy springs,

And Pluto’s demotion to this day stings.

But you probably noticed the dearth

Of a line about the Earth

Because it is devoid of mirth

And is the only planet with Colin Firth.

Research Projects

Forsythia is a flower

Of the family oleaceae.

They’re pretty and they’re yellow

And they make me saeae

“Ooh, look at that forsythia!

“They’re of the order lamiales!”

Then I ask my mother

If she’ll cook me tamales.

Even The Tyrants Realize This Is Dumb

This Saturday the mask mandate

Expires in my state,

So people must be healthy

Like the records indicate…

And yet today was Wednesday

And I will surely die, since

I took my mask off early

And I happen to trust science.
