All I Need Is A $250-Million Government Grant

I want to start a charity

Where blind and deaf people come

And I describe to them how food tastes

‘Cause I’m hungry and I’m dumb.

Also, We Had To Use The Pythagorean Theorem To Calculate Burrowing Speed, So We Are Nerdier Than Thee

We stayed up late

Playing D&D.

Yay for my players

But woe for readers (aka thee).

How About A Good Humbling?

I sorta hope the next disease

That brings the whole world to its knees

Can break the part of DNA’s lock

That makes “important” people talk.

Maybe Poverty Is Good?

A week ago five billionaires

Paid half a million each

To sink into the ocean

To within Titanic‘s reach.

Today, a billionaire put up

For sale a chance to fly

Into space, which makes my face

Nonverbally scream “Why?”

Circumstances Change… Viewpoints May Not

I’m out of the sticks now

And wifi is back.

Dear vegans: I’m sorry

For my former attack.

From henceforth I promise

To not mock you any more

Than I mock anyone else

Who says “Tofu? J’adore!”

How My Diet Is Going

There are more cookies in my belly

Than on the cooling rack.

That’s my reward for exercise

So I think I’m on the right track.

A Day In The Life Of A Hero

I’m going to a climate conference

To inspire both hope and confidence

But I’m not sure which jet I should ride

So I’ll take both. I’m too rich to decide!

On Commencement

Once a year, a million kids

Quit going to a school

And they rent ugly hats and dresses

Because that’s just the rule.

Everybody’s name is read

And then the hats are thrown

And a million kids proceed to then

Forget what they had known.

Then a half a million kids

Go to school that costs a lot

Where they try to sleep with other kids

And, if they’re me, do not.

The other half get jobs at places

Where food is microwaved

Or join the “Guns and Tanks” patrol

And thus the world is saved.

This graduation from a child

To learned adult is great.

And now I must excuse myself;

For bed, I’m somewhat late.

Ladies, Learn To Reboot A Router

If your husband is pooping

And taking his time

So that hours have passed

And the scent is a crime

There’s no need to bother

With a knock or a shout;

His business will finish

When the Wifi goes out.

Diversity on TV

Some people love a TV show

Or book with all their heart

Because it’s scary/witty/charming

And fast-paced/tender/smart.

Others see that TV show

And think one long “okaaaaaaay?”

I think that’s the best diversity

Even if no one’s black or gay.
