Moments Before You Realize Your Cosmic Impotence

The sky had a sun that was adorning

The sky at five a.m. in the morning.

It was bright and obnoxious

And for some reason I thought this:

“Go down now… this is your last warning.”

Watch Out

There once was a clock on a wrist

That one day became rather pissed.

It said “Time isn’t real,

“So how does that feel?”

Now it is for sale on Craigslist.

This Haiku Says It All

I coughed on someone

Who got their Covid vaccine.

Why are they worried?

This Poem Brought To You By Our Sponsor, “Sir Alabaster Thoroughgood”

There are only two types of men

That I have ever met:

The type who name their genitals

And the type who aren’t born yet.

Encourage Someone To Be A Wasp Or A Jellyfish… It Just Makes Sense

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”

Is just a longer way to say

“Be like a bee.” Butterflies suck.

Also, bees die when they sting, so ok…

The Same Logic Applies To “Housewife,” “Life Partner,” and “Money”

I am a homeless student

Who’s unemployed so, knock on wood,

I won’t have any homework

So I guess my life is good.

Confessions of a Former Spelling Bee Champion

There once was a guy named Kibau

Who lived on a farm with a plough.

He once swore a vow

Never once to say “Ciao”

And you get the point: Spelling is stupid.

Be Careful Where You Wish For

I wished upon a star

That I was back on Earth.

Then I was incinerated by the immense heat of the cosmic ball of burning gas

And now wait for rebirth.

Pimento Control Now!

He was black, surrounded by brothers,

Unarmed and defenseless

When a white man came by

To perform something senseless:

The poor black was gutted

And served on a platter

With mediterranean food.

This Greeting Will Blow You Away…

If we didn’t announce hurricanes

Just for a year or two

No one would die in a hurricane again.

Also, I’m fine. How ‘bout you?
