It’s Important To Listen, But…

There once was a female spouse

Who said “Hi” as I came in the house.

She told me her stories,

Her pains, and her glories,

And now I need to write a poem before I go to bed… ouse.

Tuesday

Have you ever tried fried brain?

It can be a real strain

But better in your skull than to

Be served upon a plate to you.

I have a fried brain right now

And an IQ comparable to a cow

And to avoid having the IQ of a sheep

I bid you adieu and falleth asleep.

But Will They Play A Jazzy Star-Spangled Banner On A Ukulele While I Wait?

Thank you for calling the Federal Gov,

The people who rule you and speak from above.

We’re using your tax dollars to be on our break

So please wait seven hours. Your freedom’s at stake.

There once was a multilingual green owl

Whose temper had grown fully foul.

He said “Practice your French!”

As he pulled out a wrench

Then watched me spell “vingt” with a scowl.

My Essay on the Causes of World War II

I like how people decided

That art was subjective

And you can like anything you want

But then you draw a bicycle

And you get a C in art class

From a guy whose degree

Taught them a red line on a blank canvas

Was worth millions of dollars.

Maybe I should be a politician instead?

This Is One Instance Where A Live Stream Would Be Helpful

Can I write a poem

In exactly ten hours?

I could were I not so aloof.

See, it would be brilliant

But I’m insufficiently resilient

To answer your query: “Where’s the proof?”

Embed Designation At This Location

Rosa Chinensis is vermillion

Viola Sororia is cerulean.

Whether or not I write with a thesaurus

Can be expressed as a value that’s boolean.

The Parabola Is Beginning Its Descent…

In 1999 the Matrix took the red pill.

In 2012, the Avengers were assembled.

In 2025 we’ll get the fifth Fantastic Four.

And now you understand just why I trembled.

Hard Times Make Good Complainers… Good Complainers Make Good Comedy

Say what you will about hard times and such

But I am certain about this much:

When everything’s bad, we have more variety

Of things to go off on when we lose our sobriety.
