When You Say “Jesus, Take The Wheel”, Consider The Consequences

So I invented a nifty new thing

That’s a circular mobility aid.

I call it a “wheel”, and if we’re for real

It’s the best thing anyone’s ever made.

As I was showing it off today

This dude with a halo came by

And just picked it up, put his blood in a cup,

And vamoosed. Now I’m stuck asking why.

Making The Most Of Modern Trends

Meet a girl who buys you chocolate,

Gets you flowers, buys dessert.

Just be aware that girls like that

May have once been your friend, Bert.

Inflation?

When a man loves a woman

It is undeniable that

He’ll either be rejected

Or get married and get fat.

When a woman loves a man

She will inevitably feel

As if she’s also gotten fat

(Or is it that dress? What an ordeal!)

I’m not aware of patterns

In the non-binarily inclined

But if they also get fatter

They do not seem to mind.

So, while Ozempic is an option

If weight loss is your course,

I might also reccomend

The non-prescription choice: Divorce.

Dinner Plans

The lazy rain will not commit

To ruining our mood,

But teases we who might decide

To go outside with food.

Like a cat, it lies in wait

With cards close to its chest

Until we bypass caution

And don our Sunday best.

Thus, prudence adjudicates

Our picnic we might delay

And instead get chicken nugs

And mac and cheese today.

Unintended Consequences

A candle popped over my head

As my epiphany did start:

Perhaps making that time machine

Turned out to not be smart.

Goodness Me, Is That More Than 100 BPM My Good Sir?

When your heart beats really fast

That’s tachycardia

(Or so the doctors would have you believe).

But if your heart beats quickly

And you’re upper-middle class

It’s classycardia. (Ok, I’ll leave)

This Is Why Horses Became Popular In The Wild West

When robbers hold their guns out

And bellow, “Stick ‘em up”

The whole ordeal is really rather crass.

But it gets even worse

When they try to rob the livestock

‘Cause then the robbers “Stick ‘em up” your ass.

Take That, Inspirational Posters!

They say money can’t buy happiness

And maybe they are right

But money can buy spiders

That you can give people out of spite

And spiteful spider-giving

Puts a smile on my face

When I put those “money can’t buy” people

In their rightful place.
