Where Do The Colonists Sign Up?

So when you die the tax man comes

To take of your estate

While you pay tax on a hospital bill,

Pine box, and granite slate,

Then wear taxed clothes to the funeral.

You’ll arrive in taxed-gas powered cars

Which is why I will die as an astronaut:

‘Cause there’s no taxes yet on Mars.

Wait… Did The French Just Surrender To Tourists?

So the Louvre closed its doors today

Which is how Mona Lisa would say

“Je ne t’aime pas

“Alors au revoir.”

(And yes, those do rhyme by the way)

Truth Hurts

We are all mermaids

Who evolved to live on land

And not sing as much.

And For June’s Bingo Card…

Donald and Elon sitting in a tree

T.W… oops… X.I.N.G.

First come threats

War comes later

And wait, is that Kanye playing mediator?

It Rhymes With Duck (And It’s One Of The Words Timmy CAN Spell)

Timmy was a troubled child

Who wouldn’t do his work.

When Timmy didn’t pass his class

His mom became a jerk

And met with Timmy’s principal:

“If Timmy doesn’t walk

“At graduation, your boss and I

“Will have a little talk.”

Well the principal’s salary

Is based on graduation rate

So he waived Timmy’s missing stuff

And got thanked by the state.

Timmy is a graduate.

The principal got paid.

Society got a synoym

For “screwed” and “loved” and “laid.”

On The Devaluation Of Currency And Its Indirect Consequences To Tourism And Related Industries (Or: Time To Invest In Fountains, As The Price Of Wishes Just Went Up 400%)

I sing of a coin called a penny

Whose value was just less than “any”.

It was cash, free and legal, and yet it

Was not worth the effort to get it.

If it’s true what the president hinted

No longer will such coins be minted

And I for one ponder this pickle:

Will folks still pay for a souvenir nickel?

Songwriting Tip #5678

If your chorus is just one sentence

Repeated exactly four times

That song isn’t actually music

And one day you’ll pay for your crimes.

Remember This In The Pandemic Of 2119

If instead of wearing masks

And going to school and work online

We had just put on some badass capes

The kids would all be fine.

Every. Single. Month.

In thirty seconds

She can laugh and scream and weep

‘Cause water is wet
