The wealthy and the powerful
In conflict did divide
To play a game of endless war
In which the commons died
For when egos battle
And at the heart of every war:
The rich, you’ll find, will seldom mind
The dying of the poor.

And I gave it a pat.
I wanted to pet it
But was told to 6.

You’ve had e9 of 10.

That made them long for brains.
Some are raised by the magic
That a necromancer trains.
Some become a zombie for
No reason we can see
But most zombies decided
To major in sociology.

God made twelve hours of light and dark
In an alternating way
Then sat a while
And with a smile
Decided to call it a day.

That he’s tended all his life
Which really makes you wonder:
Just how angry is his wife?

Today we drink and wear green clothes
And that’s just about it.

Why this holiday is shit.

The instrument of mortal sin.”

If You Think This Poem Rhymes You Probably Aren’t Rich
You can tell if someone’s more likely
To play basketball or the harp
By whether they write #F
Or instead they write F#
