Whose Phone Is This? (Aka The White-Guy-Alone-On-The-Bus-In-Harlem Song)

Whose phone is this

That disturbs my rest,

Who informs its master

By beeping?

Its constant noise

Does so make me stressed

For one minute ago

I was sleeping.

This, this

Is the white guy’s phone

Which disturbs your sleep

Via default tone.

This guy

Will be lain to rest

At the mortuary of Saint Mary.

Evidence For Those In Support Of The Belief That Puns Are The Lowest Form Of Humor

Sometimes I take a bath

To ease the stress of taxation.

I fill the tub with herbs

Such as thyme for relaxation.

How I Greet New Neighbors

Like an inexpensive cut of meat

Stewed for many a lukewarm hour

You’re welcome when sold on my street

But far less welcome in my shower.

Why I’m No Longer A Gender Studies Major

Nevertheless

Always the more

Seldom the -ible

But often the horr-

Too much conniption

For such a poor fit

This new lack of him/her

Well, I’m tired of it

Hey, Wait…

If you’re rubber

And I’m glue

You can call me anything

And I’m just screwed…

…And That Proves My Toughness (Or Something)

My Uncle was a pussy.

My Grandpa was a wimp.

My Father was a chicken

And my Brother is a shrimp.

My Cousins are all cowards

And my Nephews are namby-pamby

Just ’cause I’m the guy

Who shot the mom of Bambi.

But What Does Salt Smell Like Anyway?

I danced a sappy sort of waltz-

The type that’s rife with lots of schmaltz.

The I passed out, demonstrating my faults.

That’s why I’m grateful for smellingsalts.

Really Though, How Do You Spell The Last Word?

I looked at all the people

Seated in their chairs.

I told them “I won’t paint the steps”

But I only got blank stares.

What Is Humor?

The quality of being amusing,

A mood or state of mind,

To comply with someone’s wishes

Or, to kids, the word “behind.”

A Very Factual Excuse

A monstrous weasel murdered me

Yesterday around 8:00.

It was rather inconvenient

Which is why this poem’s so late.
