“Daily” Travesty… That Was A Joke

I am in a cabin

Eating French fries with my wife.

Poetry is great and all

But then again so is my life.

White People Be Rappin’ Like

If I had a hippo

You wouldn’t gimme no lip, yo.

But I’ve got an elephant

And you’re just like “omg, can’t.”

So I just bought a rat,

So have fun with that

As I pull out my gator

And say “see ya later.”

If I Transcribed My Entire Thought Process While Writing Jokes Instead Of Just The Finished Product

There once was a suburban dad

Who was a most serious lad.

He never told jokes

To his kids or his folks

And because of that they all were sad.

Now that you feel sufficiently guilty…

What did the dog say to the octopus?

I like bones.

Get it? ‘Cause he’s a dog?

Laugh, or I’ll read you the limerick again…

Marketing, Travesty Style

I’m writing another book

For Valentine’s Day this year

But I also hate advertising

So yeah… I was never here.

High Resolutions

New year, new you?

You do that too?

So that makes two

Of us. Who knew!

New year, new me

Is how I see

My future will be

Until January 3.

Then new year’s old

Or so I’m told

So I’ll put on hold

My plans so bold.

Is This My Moana Lisa?

In halcyon hours, my maiden and me

Become one with each other until

Through effort and grace we lie face to face

As nature concludeth its will.

Then I am afflicted with such a condition

Where my brain is in tune with my bowels

And for hours after I know only laughter

And I can speak only in vowels.

Or to put it another way…

Iayohouyaieae

Eoeoeieaoeui

Oueoaaeeieaeoae

Aaueoueii.

EIaaieiuaoiio

Weeyaiiiueiyowe

AohouaeIooyaue

AIaeaoyiowe.

When It Snows On Your Parade?

I used to have a whole bunch of dice

But I can’t find two of them now.

I suppose that means it’s a pair o’ dice lost?

(Yes, this is a pun. Anyhow…)

Would You Consider Him To Be A Jerk?

There once was a poet from Newark

Who never finished his work.

Even though it’d be easy

He was just that cheesy.

Deterrent or Solution? How About Both!

If everyone had nuclear missiles

And lacked all self control

The internet would be a more peaceful place

And that is a most noble goal.

The Gen Alpha Song

I was born too late for a peaceful life,

Born to a woman who was not a wife,

Raised by a screen and a TikTok star

With no life skills but a brand new car.

My first day of school was in my bedroom.

I made new friends with the help of Zoom.

My kindergarten cred was instantly blown

‘Cause I’m five years old but using last year’s phone.

I can’t read yet and that won’t change soon

‘Cause Alexa can read me Good Night Moon,

My browser can do homework for me

Thanks to indifferent teachers and a GPT.

By 2050 we’ll be on the presidential stage

Campaigning for a million dollar minimum wage

So better get some rizz unless you’ve got gyat

‘Cause here we come world, ready or not.
