Hollywood, Kansas

Good old Southern wisdom dictates

That nobody can be hotter

Than a woman with the privilege

Of being a farmer’s daughter.

Now a lot of celebrities try

Via paying a lot of money

To get hotter through plastic surgery

But they end up looking funny.

Meanwhile, farms in general

Are losing cash with every crop.

Now I share a solution

To make both these problems stop:

Aging celebrities pay a subscription

To be adopted by the farmers

Who’ll do less growing vegetables

And more of raising charmers.

The world gets better affordable food

And less of the adjective “botched”

And films starring 40+ actresses

Might actually start to get watched!

Grandpa’s Advice Column

Every problem in the world

Can be solved with one of these:

WD-40, a well-timed bullet,

Or a bag of frozen peas.

But How Long Does It Take To Walk A Dog?

As I age, I realize

How many rejections were not lies.

It turns out her washing her hair

Does take the entire evening. So there.

Elon? Any Ideas?

They say there’s a place for everything

And everything should go in its place.;

My only question is how to efficiently

Send all the lawyers to the vacuum of space.

Take That, Inspirational Posters!

They say money can’t buy happiness

And maybe they are right

But money can buy spiders

That you can give people out of spite

And spiteful spider-giving

Puts a smile on my face

When I put those “money can’t buy” people

In their rightful place.

If you make a long haiku

With too many syllables in it

Nothing changes. Lighten up.

Proverbs For The Modern Age

Do not stand between a man

Who’s running and a bathroom.

Do not wear a pair of pants

With insufficient calf room.

Those who want to sell you crap

Will first tell you “Hello.”

If you’re out of shampoo

Do not substitute Jello

A Winter’s Tune

When your heart calls to its pair

Through the rime of Winter’s air

Be sure it’s cry is strong and true

So its twin may sing to you.

But should your heart’s dear, after pause,

Sing “I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause”

You may be wise to weave and sway

Then run like Hell the other way.

Wisdom of the Elements

I roasted marshmallows on an open fire

And the poofed up soft and gold.

I roasted them over a vat of ice

And they sat unchanged. I’m told

That fire and ice are equals

And, while true, it must be said

That camping is better with fire than ice.

Now enlightened, go ye to bed.

Buy My Books Now Before They Go On Sale And Lose All Of Their Value

Money’s more expensive now,

And so are milk and bread.

Your rent’s gone through the roof this year

And it’s hard to keep your head.

You might think that stocks and bonds

Are good spots for your money,

But you are wrong! The best investment

Is poetry that’s funny!

For instance, look at all the folks

Who lost their homes this year.

They didn’t buy a book of verse

But spent their cash on beer,

And I think Queen Elizabeth

Would be alive today

If she’d just read one lousy poem

Published every day!

So do it for your health and wealth

And the queen’s legacy:

Read the crap I publish here

And oh! The results you’ll see!
