Check Your Work

I hope before they go far down the road
They take the time to do a full download
Of all of her work and conduct a search
Which ensures Yale will not clumsily lurch
Into all the dark academic lairs

Filled with folks who claim work which is not theirs.

Bad Press

Call me unhinged about how the press works
But it’s truly run by a bunch of jerks.
Look at this headline and tell me your view…
Is there equivalency between these two?
“Cleared of rape”?! That’s extremely big news!
But still guilty for his video views…

Musk Meets His Match

Elon has a way of bending the norms

But in Sweden they’re calling for reforms.

Whatever it is that they do not like

They’ve mobilized workers to go on strike.

The unions have so much dough it appears

They can be on strike for five hundred years!

Fat Chance

The data should come as no big surprise

That in the land of fatty foods and fries

The percentage of people overweight

Continues to increase at a fast rate.

To reduce what they put into their mouth

These drugs are just booming throughout the South.

But Wasn’t…?

When it comes to Pope Francis, I’m a fan

Yet sometimes he slips, he’s a mortal man!

Seems to me that his position on this

Is pretty much of a slightly odd miss…

Remember the birth, all meek and mild…

Wasn’t Jesus Christ a surrogate child?!

Cheeky Raise

We’ve known all along that the world is nuts

And that men will pay to see ladies’ butts.

So it should not come as a big surprise

That farmgirls with curves will attract some eyes.

This one has tripled her take-home pay

With the same work… in a thong every day!

Tough Loss (tee hee…!)

Winning at football requires some luck,
But it’s also important not to suck.
And man did the Cowboys suck last night…
Which for many of us was sheer delight!
Don’t know why it is that I feel so glad
When the Dallas Cowboys play so bad.

School Daze

Like anything, it’s important to learn…

So it should be no surprise to discern

That now there’s a school with its focus on

Teaching the basics when you’re really gone!

I do wonder what these classes are like

Exploring the world of enlightened psych.

Better Schedule

I wouldn’t say that there are no dangers

And I sure wouldn’t source it from any strangers

But it seems obvious to most of us

That there’s some good in weed we should discuss.

Certainly it’s in a far different group

Than those drugs which leave you dead on a stoop.

Bye Bye Belichick

The surly guru of Patriots’ fame

Sure built his success on another name…

Tom Brady carried the team to its wins

And HE had help from deflated pig skins.

Yet despite the slips and a little slime,

Together they were the best of all time.
