On The Devaluation Of Currency And Its Indirect Consequences To Tourism And Related Industries (Or: Time To Invest In Fountains, As The Price Of Wishes Just Went Up 400%)

I sing of a coin called a penny

Whose value was just less than “any”.

It was cash, free and legal, and yet it

Was not worth the effort to get it.

If it’s true what the president hinted

No longer will such coins be minted

And I for one ponder this pickle:

Will folks still pay for a souvenir nickel?

What To Do After You’re Elected To Public Office

If at first you don’t succeed

Succumb to existential greed

And steal from folks for their own good

And then claim you’re misunderstood.

Songwriting Tip #5678

If your chorus is just one sentence

Repeated exactly four times

That song isn’t actually music

And one day you’ll pay for your crimes.

Mini Golf, Level 100

Eighteen times we swung our putters.

Eighteen times a whole in one.

Some people started at the green

But starting at the hole is way more fun.

Remember This In The Pandemic Of 2119

If instead of wearing masks

And going to school and work online

We had just put on some badass capes

The kids would all be fine.

Free Speech And Its Consequences (Blue State Edition)

Fire truck is red and bright,

Its sirens wailing in the night,

Filled with heroes of to save

A sassy lass or naive nave.

Fire truck goes very fast

And makes a whoosh as it goes past.

The fire sought by me was started

Because the neighbors said “retarded.”

My Conversation Tomorrow After I Get To Work With Two Hours Of Sleep

D and D went long.

We were fighting evil frogs!

What do you mean, “Nerd”?

Liar Or Grammar Nazi… Which Is Worse?

They say there was a mermaid

With a very short torso

Even though she was seven feet long.

Some people have told me

That it’s a tall tale

And I tell them they spelled “tail” wrong.

Standing up to pee

Is the privilege men receive

The Hero’s Journey

There was a reluctant young hero

Whose number of close friends was zero.

An old mentor said “Hey,

“Want to come save the day?”

Kid agreed, and the whole world did cheer-o.
