Historically Possible

The Samurai saw a leather hat

With bills to block the sun

And said (probably in Japanese)

“That does not look so fun.”

So the cowboys took it

And thus the West was won

And I would wisely wager

That’s why the Samurai are done.

Supervillains In The Time Of Social Media

So no one pressed the button

And no one cut the wire

And the number of both tocks and ticks

Is growing ever higher

And I’ve haggled and I’ve cackled

And liked, shared, and commented

But my existential ticking threat

Has in no psyche cemented.

I’m once again tequesting

That you face a villainous choice:

Press the button or cut the wire.

Go on and raise your voice!

That’s all for now my puny foes

And future grimly-oppressed.

Now I’m off to my one-bedroom lair

To scheme and be despressed

This Year For Christmas I Want Racially Accurate Casting In Supporting Roles

I know not of the origin

Of the fateful racial feud

Between the dwarves and elves of old

Nor how such hate ensued,

But the modern dwarf/elf rivalry

Is almost certainly due

To hiring dwarves at Christmas time

To dress as Santa’s crew.

When Your Economics Professor Has To Talk His Way Out Of A Shady Deal

If you sell your soul to the devil

And try to buy it back

You’ll find Beelzebub unwilling

To grant you any slack,

But if you do convince him

You’ll need to pay back more

Than whatever you decided

To originally sell it for.

This proves that souls are subject

To monetary inflation

As non-fungible timeless artifacts

With finite monetary evaluations

And thus I say a human life

Gets more valuable with age

From a monetary point of view.

Now let me out of this cage.

This Is Probably Less Funny In Hebrew

And the Lord said unto Abraham

“You shall not eat unclean animals.

“Also, guess what I decided to name pig meat?”

Please See The Manager Between 12:01-12:07 AM on Tuesdays And Fridays In March And Bring A Notarized Letter Of Intent To End Your Subscription To Mordorian Dominion

The necromancer, Sauron,

Was pondering his life:

No pesky job to go to,

No annoying, naggy wife.

He wished to live forever

So he made a magic ring

That would make him both immortal

And in charge of everything.

Deep in the fine print

Of this magical ring contract

Made the only way to break the ring

A particular lava contact,

And yet a little hobbit

Bypassed this security.

If only Sauron had the foresight

To beg advice from me

For I know an alternative

That might just have saved him:

In order to destroy the One Ring

You must cancel membership for the gym.

The Best Part Of Waking Up

Pooping is great!

Pooping is fun!

Just sit on the toulet

And ploop! You’re all done!

Or if you are male

And/or have a phone

Pooping can give you

An hour alone!

The Beginning Of A Grand Adventure

Somewhere far beyond these walls

Walking amidst the eldritch halls

Are dwarves and elves and even men

Saying, “Damn GPS screwed up again.”

There’s A Colonel Of Truth Here…

In the civil war, a soldier fled

Across the Kentucky border,

Seeking to preserve his life

By disobeying his orders.

But when he crossed he found himself

On more unfriendly soil.

The deserter was taken hostage

And executed with boiling oil.

I don’t blame you if this story

Might make you quake or sicken,

But its moral is important:

How Kentucky fried the chicken.

Introducing Your 2028 President Elect

I do not know the muffin man.

I really don’t know nothing, man.

All I know is muffin man

Repeats things, so I’m told.

I’ll tell you of the muffin man

Since you’re no fan of muffin man.

You’ll hear repeats by muffin man

‘Cause the teleprompter’s old.
