Secretary Of War

At the Battle of Thermopylae

480 BC

299 Spartans

Marched to meet Xerxes.

Meanwhile, Jeffichus the imprecise

Was tasked with taking the minutes

Instead of marching into war

‘Cause it’s close enough to 300, innit?

Line. Breaks. Matter.

As I drive down the highway

I see dozens of signs:

Slower

Traffic

Keep

Right

Right

Lane

Ends

Adopt a

Highway

Litter

Control

And I think to myself

“These sign writers are overdoing the enjambment.”

The Slow Learner

School is super awesome

‘Cause you get to go to class

And get yelled at by the teacher

‘Cause you’re super full of sass

And you get to ride a yellow bus

And eat mystery meat

In a gym full of 400 kids

And 800 smelly feet.

You get to learn a lot of stuff

Like math and reading books

And people whisper behind your back

And give you funny looks

And they legally can’t kick you out

If you try hard not to pass

And yes, I’m 48-years-old

And never late for class.

Listening Is Hard

“What do you want for your birthday?”

So many have asked this of me,

Yet I still have zero doomsday devices

And seventy-two graphic tees…

Win-Win

If we throw the politicians

Into the holy volcano of K’raxx’iss

We’ll either ensure a bountiful harvest

Or pay a lot less in taxes.

The End Of Summer

Back to school is near…

Then, when kids are back in class

Pumpkin spice returns.

Mama… Dada…****ing **** ******* in a ****** Puddle

If we make all words

Inappropriate to say

Kids will talk at birth.

When You Hit 18, That’s When You Buy A New One

If your underwear

Doesn’t have at least nine holes

You might be a chick

Girls Just LOVE Exfoliating

My forehead is sunburnt

And peeling a bit.

My wife, for some reason,

Is playing with it,

Peeling my flesh off

With childish glee

And I love that I found someone

Weirder than me.

There Can Only Be One…

If you ever feel inferior

Be glad it’s not your fate

To be one of the walls in China

That never will be great.
