Now THAT Is Motivation

Tonight I was sleepy and happy

And snuggled up, warm in my bed.

I could’ve been dreaming of Springtime

But I’m writing this poem instead.

Now normally I would just give up

And write four lines that sorta rhyme

But tonight I’m the very best version of me

So I’ll waste twice as much of your time.

Duo, Pourquoi Es-Tu En Colère?

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.

Optimism, First Grade Prepper Edition

I know that world war 3 is coming

And it’ll be really bad

But when you remember what comes next

It takes away the sad

‘Cause world war 4 is going to be fought

With sticks and stones they say

Which means puppies will be soldiers

And puppies make us yay!

Sweet Child O’ Mine

If given a choice

Between water and wine

Instead ask for orange juice

And you’ll get on fine.

If given a choice

Between fire and ice

Just say “I’ll have lightning

“‘Cause that would be nice.”

If given a choice

Between evil and good

Do what you want

If you want what you should

For picking a choice

Between one or another

Is much too convenient

For me and your mother.

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?”

The Hero We Need…

So mesa was a thinkin’

Yousa complainin’ all about

This election between the grandpas

Who’s a handle and a spout

‘Cause a woopsie in white house

Followed by an oopsie-dee

Makes you thinky, given options,

You’lda even vote for meeee!

International Women’s Day

Across the world we celebrate

The folks with whom we wish to mate

Who possess many powers neat

But don’t know what they want to eat.

Without them the economy would crash

And people would buy more with cash.

The roads would probably be safer

And nobody would use the word “wafer”.

Clothes would only come in gray

And everybody’d end up gay

So I for one am grateful that

We have women, and that is that.

When They Started Using Those “Printer” Things, Everything Went Downhill…

When the Roman Empire fell

People thought “This isn’t swell”

And for a while they were right

And all the world was dark as night.

Then a guy named Gutenberg

Turned out to be a giant nerd

And invented a thing called a printing press

Which writers say reduced their stress.

After this, a rennaissance

Began, and then a war in France

And freedom became the big buzzword

That people gravitated toward.

Now as another empire falls

I wish we’d have the collective balls

To look how we got in this mess

And demand they bring back the printing press.

Classical Music

You’re here to see a concert

And the first piece we will play

Is the thanking of the sponsors,

For although you had to pay

A decent sum of money

To come see our group perform

Without our corporate overlords

We’d not be able to form.

Thank you to the money guys

Who like this older stuff.

Now please prepare to give a hand

For another half an hour of fluff…
