Beetlejuice, Then And Now

In 1988 they made a movie of a couple

Who died driving off a one lane bridge.

They ended up haunting their family home

Because New Yorkers tried to sell their fridge.

They sang a reggae song about bananas

And almost had a wedding with a demon

And then a random sandworm saved the day

And everybody smiled instead of screamin’.

In 2024 they made a movie of a kid

And her parents and grandparents and a cop who is actually an actor, and an ex-wife and some random murdery boyfriend, etc.

They also had a wedding with a demon

Before a random sandworm saved the day

And I’m just wondering why Hollywood

Can’t just make films the 1988 way.

Female Entrepreneurial Role Models

There once was a whole in the ozone layer

But luckily your mom was a ticket payer…

As her plane left the ground

There was a brief sucking sound

And now she’s demanding we pay her.

Almost Disaster…

I got out of a nice warm bed

Because I forgot to publish a verse.

Now I’m getting right back in bed

Because I’ve satisfied the terms of my curse.

My Marriage

She says “What?”

I say “Your butt.”

Then we both smile

And snuggle a while.

Social Media

There once was a dancing woman

Wearing as little as legal

Dancing while some AI hip-hop played

Advertising food for her beagle.

A number of bots decided

It was worth watching ten million times.

It’s probably better on TikTok

But hey, my version rhymes!

Management

If you add “executive” to the front

Or “Coordinator” to the end

Of the title of any job

The message that you send

Is “I could do your job

“But instead I watch and frown

“Because I make twice your salary

“And why isn’t your noise more brown?”

Seahawks Fans Right Now

So a battle of birds did occur

And the Seahawks did not make me “grr”.

“Are we good?” asked my friend

And based on this trend

I can solidly say “I’m not sure.”

Being 30

I voted today for the president.

Then with my civic duty complete

I played Mario Party with teenagers

And had waffles with whipped cream to eat.

Writing With The End In Mind

There was a rude doctor

Who played a card game.

His deck featured ducks

And was pretty lame,

Almost as bad as

The Cowboys’ quarterback.

Yes, I can confirm

Dick doc’s duck deck’s like Dak.
