Have Another

I know there’s a lot of bad dad advice.

Or if not “bad” you should at least think twice.

Often relevance is a big unknown…

Though sometimes it’s obvious once your grown.

But there was one thing my dad sure got right –

Pour another drink and clean up tonight!

Robotic Return

At long last I won’t lose any sleep at night

Now that Elon has resolved his tough plight.

I was worried about his financial future!

Such relief now that he won’t be a moocher.

And I just can’t wait to hear all about

Him making more money with bots, no doubt.

Means Not Outcome?

I don’t really get the Court’s ruling here

The right wing rationale just isn’t clear.

If abortion breaks the law of the land

This seems to be an unusual stand.

It’s not okay done with a doctor’s skill

But sure go ahead by taking a pill?

Yeah, For Now

Biden is taking the high moral path

But it’s not too hard to do all the math…

Hopefully he can gain some real traction

Recycling is not a real solution –

Only 4% and the rest is pollution.

But man is it useful, so what can we do?

We need some smart folks to find a breakthrough.

Yeah, It’s Complicated

I can’t say I know that much about crack…

But most of my family is now cutting back!

I did find a few pipes on my loved ones

Then decided we should go get some guns.

I guess I just didn’t know what else to do…

It was a terrible week to stop sniffing glue.

Will They Wear Gloves?

So the next big frontier in robotics

Actually isn’t probing erotics…

But does address another daily need

And no it isn’t smoking weed…

Robots are starting to make us our lunch

Mechanical hands helping us munch.

Their Domain

The problem with people is that they’re slow

To fully understand that when you go

To a place where any wild beasts roam

Those beasts consider that place to be home.

And then when you act a bit like a clown

Yeah, your infant might just get tossed around.

Thumbs Up!

Well the first thing to do, I would utter,

Is to get your mind out of the gutter!

Yes, a robotic thumb could be handy

At those times when you’re getting randy

But think of all the other things it could do!

Like… like… well I’m sure there’s a few…
