Researching Self-Control

If I had a potato chip

For every theory that made sense

I’d have a much larger stomach

And not a lot of evidence…

Lucky for Me… I’m a 3!

She was meretricious

And he was five-foot-two

And yet somehow between them

Amorous feelings grew.

He thought she was a goddess

And she thought he was funny.

So go the lives of 4’s and 5’s

When they have boobs or money.

But Hockey? There’s A Great Sport!

Soccer’s like “The Notebook:”

I’ve never watched for more than a minute,

I consider it nap-time

And don’t like anyone in it.

Soccer and I

Are also much alike

In that no one ever scores

And the entertainment it creates has unsatisfying conclusions.

Insurance Be Like…

I called Permanente Kaiser

‘Cause I had pain in my incisor.

What they said seemed rather ruthless:

“Pay up or you’ll soon be toothless.”

Hospital Memos

Vegetable soup will

No longer be served in the

Quadriplegic’s ward.

When You Stretch For The Pun And Hurt Yourself

I want what a former president may do

Were he a bird who saw a speck

‘Cause I don’t like the words “and a.”

I want a Bush’ll peck.

If People Are Pissed About Masks…

I really hope for chaos’ sake

That the cure for Covid be

The presence of police

Because, well, blessed irony!

Manly Sea Captain Poems

I was a pirate cap’n

A’sail upon the sea

And I’d laugh at the other ships

When they would try to flee.

I’d sail up behind ’em

And though they might protest

I’d grab ’em by the booty

At my cap’nly behest!

——————————————————–

When your captain is a man

“Land ho!” is often said.

When your captain isn’t

They shout “Land, hoe!” Instead.

——————————————————–

When I became a captain

I quit being a virgin

Thanks to an encounter

That I had with a sturgeon!

When You Disagree By Not Agreeing To Agree To Disagree

He asked ten people if among them

One would disagree.

Nine said yes, that’s how it works.

The tenth person was me.

My Solution To School Shootings (Until They Clone Chuck Norris)

They should clone Queen Elizabeth

14 billion times

So we can all have immortal bodyguards…

It’s true and it rhymes!
