Still Better Than Status Quo

What if, instead of an election,

We had a Mr. Beast style event

Where we rented a hall full of obstacles

And made every potential president

Stay in the room with the challenge

To be the first one to tell us the truth.

I think that’s an alternate system

That would better engage with the youth.

I Think I Covered The Big Ones…

What type of Youtube watcher are you?

The type who watches that Indian dude?

Maybe the type who react to the trends

Or enjoys watching guys give cash to their friends?

Maybe you watch it for voice-to-text vids

Or use it to sedate your satanic kids?

If none of these channels tickles your tubes

Let me suggest another one – Boobs.

Dear IRS…

If I had a yeasty codpiece

That was trolled through mud and sludge

And then ground into a powder

And baked into a toxic fudge

That was fed to pigs with cholera

Who shat it into a vial

I’d rather take a shot of it

Than pay you to e-file.

And If We Refinance, We Might Get To Move Into A Three-Tired Sedan!

I made a big old spreadsheet

To learn about buying a house.

I entered my income and interest rate

And the preferences of my spouse.

I learned a lot about mortgage rates

And discovered that we can afford

A tree with a lightly-used tire swing

And a tarp that’s attached to a board.

Imagine The Worst Thing In The Universe… Then Make It An LGBTQ Miniseries

Whenever you say “This is the worst”

Just ask yourself questions three:

1. How long will it last?

2. Have I seen worse in the past?

3. Is it going to be bought by Disney?

Desperate Times Can Rekindle That Spark

There’s a mouse in my house

And he thinks that my wall

Is a lottery ticket.

He’s having a ball

Just scratching and scratching

All morning and night.

Yes honey, this is gasoline.

It’ll all be alright.

SOOOOOO Many times…

There once was this person in a show

Whose character was lower than low

And the writers said “Hey,

“Let’s show them every day“

And now I don’t watch any mo’.

Other Useful Tests Are “Write a Poem Praising Donald Trump”, “Identify All The Hands With Five Fingers”, and “Create A Picture Of A Lawyer Who Isn’t White”

So let me get this straight…

We’re training computers to write

And recognize everyday images

Like motorcycles or a traffic light

And yet our “are you a robot” test

Is exactly where they’re at their best?

On the other hand, I’m excited

For when the “are you a robot” guy

Says “Write something that’s racist”

And the robots can’t comply

So the hot singles in your area

Will finally stop trying to marry ya.

Hands First Or Balls First?

There are two types of bathers

That I have come upon:

The type who take the bar of soap

And rub, rub, rub it on

And the type who see the bar of soap

And never, ever use it

‘Cause they know the other bather

And how often they abuse it.
