Labor Day

Happy Monday everyone!

Take a day off! Have some fun!

This is your chance to relax and be free

By sitting for hours and watching TV!

What Do You Mean This Is Ridiculous? Have You Tried It?

If you’re ever feeling lonely

Go to the store and buy a melon

Then drive to your local prison

And give your purchase to a felon.

Criminals love melons…

Seedy fruit for seedy guys.

Also, you’re no longer lonely

And, perhaps, you may be wise.

Chck/Kchck

My pronouns are just

The sound of a pump shotgun

Loading one more shell

Duolingo

I may not be bilingual

And my accent might be bad

When I speak a foreign language

With the lessons that I’ve had.

Still I claim that I speak Turkish

On my resume at work;

I can say “My owl is well-tempered

“But my bobcat is a jerk”.

I Feel Like There’s A Word For This…

Do you ever just feel exhausted,

Like you’re sleepwalking while horizontal

But instead of moving around

You sit in a weary font, dull?

And then you’re so tired your mind drifts

And you hallucinate vividly for an hour

And then find yourself in the morning

And you’re rested? That’s my super power!

Nah Boss, I Just Copied And Pasted The DNA From Some Frogs. What Could Go Wrong?

Dinosaurs are cool but not that useful.

Jobs are necessary but lame.

Thus I conclude that paleontologists

Play a very confusing game.

You Never Know What You’re Gonna Get

They say life is like a box of chocolates

But I think it’s more like a Chinese buffet:

You get to eat as much as you can manage

But if it’s chicken or a puppy, who can say?

The Great Reset

Sometime in 1988

We finished the political game

And now we’re playing as the final boss

And discovering the devs made him lame.

I move we return to the menu

And delete our saved data, restarting

At the level where we’re naked cave people

And we elect leaders by farting.

Talk On The Streets

There once was a potato named Joe

Who forgot how to talk on a show.

He had a sidekick

Who was black and a chick

And what’s that I hear? Overthrow?

Apple: Because I Chose It When I Was 12 And It’s Too Late Now

For a few months my iPhone

Had eight hours of life between charges,

Then the next model released

And my phone bill suddenly enlarges.

Oh, an update to iOS x+1?

That sounds like an important step.

Did it drop my battery life by 20 percent?

Unsurprisingly, that’s a big “yep”.

“It’s ok”, says my telephone rep.

“You can upgrade today for free.

“You’ll just change your phone number

“And sign here in blood

“And pay for 69 months interest-free!”

And so, in a rage, I go shopping

For whatever Android people buy,

Then I remember how all my app data

Only works if my phone has an “i”

And I slink to my room where my charger

Sits happily waiting to go.

I’ll repeat this emotional process

Every year for a lifetime or so.
