Leading Tomorrow’s Youth

Instead of “Ladies and Gentlemen”

I said “Hello Heathens Galore”.

Now everybody knows my name

And I don’t get to teach preschool no more.

No Butts About It

Imagine a world where nobody

Has a butt of any kind:

Nobody would ever poop again

And nobody’d ask “But why?”

Pants wouldn’t be near as popular

And gym girls would work on their pecs

And some guys would probably fantasize

About lasses with the jiggliest necks.

No one would horde toilet paper

And fart jokes just wouldn’t exist

And I could go on, but I think my point

Has been made just with this little list.

Did OSHA Overlook This?

I always wonder how it feels

To work in an apple orchard.

Is picking fruit for people’s meals

Akin to being tortured?

It can’t be that bad, you say

But what happens if you break a leg?

Those apples all day keep the doctors away

No matter how much you beg!

On The Almighty’s Priorities

I know that there are anteaters

And I know that there are ants

And I think that this is proof

That life wasn’t made by chance.

The only thing I wish to know

Is why this brilliant creator

Took a look at spiders and said

“I’ll make the thing that eats them later.”

24 Hours Of Visibility And The Whole System Collapses…

I think for one day a year

All taxes should be ignored

And you’ll see how gas is a dollar less

And your check is twenty percent more

And as you drive your car on roads

With a single pothole, wonder

Why do we support “our side” so much

When both sides keep sucking us under?

Relationship Goals

Y=X*0

Is a great mathematical hero

Because it refrains from doing crime

Despite running into its X literally all the time.

Can I Be A Director Of Something Now?

Sometimes I look back and wonder

“Why didn’t I spend more time studying

“How to write mission statements?”

Then I assemble a committee to discuss

Whether retrospection is amenable

To well-ordered, politically-correct society:

Results pending.

Butt Why?

If you think your job is bad

I think I’ve got you bested:

Today I read on a rectal thermometer

“Each unit individually tested.”

Hue’d Never Guess…

Apparently, the color “peacoat”

Is sort of grayish-blackular

I would have thought it greenish

Given “pea” is in its vernacular,

Or perhaps a pale yellow

Would fit Peacoat’s pigmentation?

Alas, the color picker people

Lack an eight-year-old’s imagination!

Not What I wanted To Hear My Teenager Saying…

If I had a roll of nickels

For every driver’s-ed I didn’t learn

I could make bus drivers angry

‘Til the dinosaurs return…
