Not You?

Not You?

I heard that someone died – and it was you.
I’m sorry now to see the news was wrong.
I’ve dealt with disappointments – not a few.
I heard that someone died – and it was you.
I filled with hope on that engaging cue.
Thus is my current disappointment strong.
I heard that someone died – and it was you.
I’m sorry now to see the news was wrong.

Never-Ending Memoir

The Never-Ending Memoir

He’s up early, pursuing his goal
Of expressing the depths of his soul
In a memoir unceasing—
Or, well, ever increasing.
With his readers I briefly condole.

Response to “Racism”

Response to “Racism”

Say one thing they don’t like – and you’re gone!
They will shriek that you’re racist from dawn
Until midnight at least.
As response, you foul beast,
Mr. Woods recommends #yawn.

Got Him Off

Got Him Off

Why did Michelle Obama get him off?
Because of how he thrills “her” secret part!
That’s how a “lady” always acts. Cough, cough.
Why did Michelle Obama get him off?
Why, simple gratitude! No need to scoff:
His oral service comes straight from the heart.
Why did Michelle Obama get him off?
Because of how he thrills “her” secret part!

Thin Blue Broken Line

Thin Blue Broken Line

Jussie pulled off one hell of a hoax—
And, because he knows all the right folks,
He is not going to pay.
That’s the Democrat way.
Cops, of course, are the butts of his jokes.

If This Goes On…

If This Goes On…

Mueller’s done. Says Trump didn’t collude.
Is this coup slated then to conclude?
Not at all, dudes and chicks!
Democrats have new tricks
Quite as ugly as Hillary nude.

Bearding Lady

Bearding Lady

You’re the senator’s beard. “Hey, fuck you!
I’m in love with that queer, through and through!
Plus, he isn’t a queer!
I deny all right here!”
That is just what a beard needs to do.

–Tom Riley

(Rosario Dawson denies beard status.)

Hair Shirt

Hair Shirt

I cheated just a little bit at Lent.
My hair shirt featured artificial hair.
What’s the cause of angelic discontent?
I cheated just a little bit at Lent.
To discipline it’s easy to consent.
But follow through? At times the strength’s not there!
I cheated just a little bit at Lent.
My hair shirt featured artificial hair.

Loose Tongue

Loose Tongue

Diagnosis from Conway: Trump’s nuts!
George agrees with the CNN sluts
Who have long said the same.
Plus, he earns heaps of fame
By French-kissing those media butts.

Going Stoic

Going Stoic

I am older than you when you died,
O Wise Marcus! Go Stoic? I’ve tried.
From opinion I’d strain
Every day to refrain.
Every night I was unsatisfied.
