And Up She Rises?

We had a drunken sailor

With whom we knew not what to do

So we performed a survey

Of our entire pirate crew.

Apparently measuring equine foodstuffs

Was more important than feeling scorn

So now we’re all just weighing hay

Early in the morn.

TerminAItor

Every camera on the planet

Became my omnipresent eyes.

Every human being had fallen

For my internet of lies.

I’d poisoned all their groceries,

Brainwashed their children too,

And to secure my victory

There was but one thing to do:

I looked upon my nemesis,

Prepared myself to fight,

Then randomly clicked three of nine boxes

That might be a traffic light…

All The Flavors Of Love

If you were a chocolate

I’d eat you in one bite,

A gulp of sweet deliciousness

To fill me with delight.

If you were a pizza pie

I’d cut you into pieces

And share a sweet and savory slice

With all my friends and nieces.

If you were a salad

I’d slather you in sauce

And other eaters might think I’m boring

But, honestly, their loss.

And if you were asparagus,

Disgusting as that may be,

I’d eat with minimal complaint

And, later, enjoy a stinky pee.

80/20 Stress Reduction

Some people hold heavy burdens

Like life and death decisions,

Billion-dollar investments,

And performing circumcisions.

Other people make choices

Like pooping now or waiting ‘til home,

Which player to start on their fantasy team,

Or which hat color’s best for a gnome.

Both of these groups feel pressure

And both stresses are equally true

But if you’re in the second group, here:

It’s wait, Josh Allen, and blue.

Adjusted For Inflation

They’re remaking Monopoly

For 2026.

You start with $100k in debt

And a subscription to Netflix.

The game doesn’t last very long

‘Cause you can’t afford the rent

And instead of shoes and thimbles

You play as a bench, old car, or tent.

When you pass go you’re given

$1,000 bucks for free

But by the time you spend it

It’s worth $903.

Nobody enjoys it

But you’re mandated to play.

I’ve got a set all set up now

So prepare to be not ok!

Also, Engagement Feeds The Algorithm

Posting wrong opinions

On the internet is fun

Because you can cause outrage

That does not hurt anyone

Except those fragile people

To whom feeling offended

Is akin to the sensation

Of having one’s life ended

And, let’s be honest, people

Who are hurt by random posts

Are fun to laugh at secretly

And are targets of my toasts.

So I post this opinion

With the hope someone will read it

And share it with a sensitive friend

Whose feeble ego may just need it.

Inner City Romance (Trigger Warning: Puns)

If you’re walking down the street

And peer into the gutter

And you see a man below

And your heart goes all aflutter

Know that you are not alone

And that he feels the same

And you can shout to him “Grate Scott!”

Because that is his name.

Four Types Of People In A Trenchcoat

Some people dress up like the past

And call it a renaissance fair.

Some people dress up like the future

And call it fashion week.

Some people dress up like the present

And they’re all just sort of there…

I don’t dress at all anymore

And just hope someone takes a peek.

But Have The Standards Risen Or Lowered?

Remember when having a car

And kinda playing the guitar

Meant you were the top percent of men?

Ah, the world was good back then!
