But Jell-O, Pasta, Potatoes, Tacos… All Fair Game

I think when you turn 40

You get a superpower

To make any food into a salad.

But when you’re 45

The option to use vegetables

Besides celery suddenly becomes invalid.

Diamonds Are Forever… Like Taxes

“Nothing gold can stay“

Is another way to say

If you’re male and not gay

You’re gonna have to pay.

Meaning? Maybe. Rhymes? Absolutely!

There once was a dame with no name

Who spent days playing a lame game.

Her tame claim to fame came

When her aim to blame the same game

Overcame her shame of being no-name.

Also, Unpaid Overtime!

Getting a promotion

Is a matter of pretending

That you listen to that guy

At weekly meetings never-ending.

Your reward for your attention

Is a minor bump in pay

And the new and useful privilege

Of having meetings every day.

Guess Which One Every ****ing Driver Picked Today, Apparently?

I am driving down the street

In two-thousand pounds of speeding death.

I can watch the road ahead

Or answer a text from my buddy, Seth.

What To Do After You’re Elected To Public Office

If at first you don’t succeed

Succumb to existential greed

And steal from folks for their own good

And then claim you’re misunderstood.

Songwriting Tip #5678

If your chorus is just one sentence

Repeated exactly four times

That song isn’t actually music

And one day you’ll pay for your crimes.

Mini Golf, Level 100

Eighteen times we swung our putters.

Eighteen times a whole in one.

Some people started at the green

But starting at the hole is way more fun.

Remember This In The Pandemic Of 2119

If instead of wearing masks

And going to school and work online

We had just put on some badass capes

The kids would all be fine.

My Conversation Tomorrow After I Get To Work With Two Hours Of Sleep

D and D went long.

We were fighting evil frogs!

What do you mean, “Nerd”?
