The Masculine Urge

Today, when I was peeing

And pondering my existence,

I realized I hadn’t thought about sex in 24 hours.

What I was suddenly seeing

Was not some great resistance

But the fact that Magic: The Gathering has given me superpowers.

What Really Matters

‘Teas the night of the election

And all round the world

All the people were asking

“Why’d they kill the poor squirrel?”

Dear Every Channel Today, Apparently…

If you feel the need to change our minds

Two days before our votes are cast

I suggest that your campaign was crap

And the time for changing minds has passed.

There once was a political leftist

And another who leaned to the right.

They both mocked the art in banks and hotels

And then peacefully mumbled “Good night.”

Beetlejuice, Then And Now

In 1988 they made a movie of a couple

Who died driving off a one lane bridge.

They ended up haunting their family home

Because New Yorkers tried to sell their fridge.

They sang a reggae song about bananas

And almost had a wedding with a demon

And then a random sandworm saved the day

And everybody smiled instead of screamin’.

In 2024 they made a movie of a kid

And her parents and grandparents and a cop who is actually an actor, and an ex-wife and some random murdery boyfriend, etc.

They also had a wedding with a demon

Before a random sandworm saved the day

And I’m just wondering why Hollywood

Can’t just make films the 1988 way.

My Marriage

She says “What?”

I say “Your butt.”

Then we both smile

And snuggle a while.

It’s The Little Things

So World War 3 is imminent

And everyone’s poor and depressed

But they’re selling egg nog at Costco again

So I feel a little less stressed

No One Beats America… Even America

Some say we need to make America

A strong, resilient nation again.

To those people I would ask

To name exactly when

Our country, whose brave leaders

Are vegetables and crooks,

Whose best and brightest students

Struggle reading chapter books,

Whose economy is imaginary

And whose borders are nonexistent

And is still full of opportunity

Stopped being so resilient?

What Makes An Artist Successful?

The important part of making art

May be your visible passion

Whether for painting, poetry,

Sculpture, dance, or fashion.

It may be skill, in motion or still,

Technique from masters past…

But I think it’s knowing a millionaire

Who needs tax write-offs fast!
