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.

Campaign Ads, 2028

My fellow Americans

I stand before you today

To declare my intention to run

For president of the USA.

If I am elected

I promise to unite

A country that’s divided

Between the left and right.

Speaking of right, my campaign is sponsored

By Google Energy Drink.

It’s made with all of your favorite flavors

Because data showed us how you think.

Consume three cans of GED a day

Or we’ll share your browser history.

But back to how I’ll save our nation…

Find out tonight at 10:00 on History!

The Rhythm Of Universal Truth

No matter the size of our brains

Or the density of our bums

All humans are united in knowing

That buttocks can double as bongo drums.

When Rest Isn’t Restful

Thus the long weekend

Comes to a close.

We’ve done nothing for days

So why d’you suppose

We’re tired and cranky

And feeling frustration

And wanting time off

From our latest vacation?

Classic vs. Modern Openings

Some heroes wear capes;

Some villains wear capes too;

This is effectively the same poem as

“Roses are red, violets are blue.”
