Ode To Gen Alpha

There are many lovely people

In the world that I have seen,

Yet many would be lovelier

As part of Soylent Green.

Pestilence, Famine, Death, and War:

These are the mythic Horsemen four.

It’s named, “To Continue, Please Buy A Subscription”.

It’s An Important Step!

There once was a griller from Harding

Who didn’t click his tongs twice before starting.

What happened next makes

Hiroshima seem low-stakes

And now God’s set the world a’ restarting.

20th Century Art History

So around the 1900’s

A bunch of artists said

“What if, instead of pretty things

“We just made trash instead?”

And thus “modernism” started

Until 1970 or so

When artists became “post-modern”

And nobody came to their show.

Road Trip

I’m a hundred miles from home

And I’m all topped off on gas.

I’ve got four all-weather tires

To propel me past the pass.

I’ve got all my tunes on CD-rom

And 12 donuts ready to bite.

I’m ninety-nine miles from home now

And there’s the check engine light…

Fine Is Fine

Yesterday I wrote a poem

Full of soul and thought

And edited the verbiage

Reflecting how I thought.

Today I rhymed “thought” with itself

And started the next line.

Inspiration comes and goes

And that, my friends, is fine.

Saving Time, Anyone?

I spent an hour writing this poem

And it would be my most precious gem

If the hour that I had spent writing it

Wasn’t this morning at 2:00 AM.

Get It… Terrific?

I’ve heard people say leftists are happy

With Trump’s economics. A specific

Comment I heard is that they are feeling

A really strong feeling of tariff-ick.

Let Freedom Ring!

Imagine a world where all is at peace,

A world without hunger or toil,

And ponder how easy a thing it would be

To go bomb them and take all their oil.

Shakespeare 101

Once in fair Europe two men

Were squabbling comedically when

The audience got bored

So they pulled out a seord

And everyone dies in the end.
