When The Young ...

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

When the young

diss the old,

compare the two

to

hot and cold

 

Why should I

be nice

to my grandparents?

 

They're poor

and won't leave me

a penny in their will.

 

I hate it

when they talk about

the good old days

 

Just give me things

that are 

*new and sparkling*

 

 

*code for overpriced*

 

If it happened 

before yesterday,

how can it be 

important tomorrow?

Now

look behind the curtain,

in the distance

is a boogie-woogie

dance

that translates

to 

what the young 

are

actually

saying:

  

We are guaranteeing

the world that

We are more stupid

than any generation

before us

Not Quite To Be Or Not To Be

To Watch or Not to Watch

was the question

so 

I raised my hand

and said

 

"Teacher,

can I just glance

at the score

on my phone

before answering

that question?"

 

She said yes

and within 

ten minutes of play,

I thought I read

the score wrong

because the Knicks

were being barbecued

and the Spurs

spat out

the pieces

Halftime deficit = 26 points

 

All I Wanna Do

is attend a pleasant

Suicide Party

 

Therefore,

I did Sudoku puzzles

and 

cursed the Universe

but 

after the 19th puzzle,

 boredom demanded

I take a look at the score 

and

—shockingly—

  my Knicks were 

un-barbecued

and about to snort

some miracle juice

Belated Happy Birthday To President Trump

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Yesterday

—June 6th— 

was the birthday

of

the President

of the United States

 

That is,

Donald Trump

was born on the 

6th day

of the 

6th

month

of the year 

 

In 

other words,

our President 

is a

66er

 

Not to be confused

with the impossibility

of 

having a birthday

on

June 66

which would make 

him

as one 

with

El Diablo

a/k/a

666

 

But as a 66er,

our President

is 

two-thirds

of 

Satan

 

 

He is 

two thirds 

Satanic

+

one-third

circus master

 

But

 

EWN 

VERYONE 

LOVES A CLO

Hate Mates ... Reduction Process

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Find someone 

you hate

+

talk to them

endlessly

and stupidly 

until

they talk to you

with equal stupidity

without end

 

When you both

fall to the ground

shouting/crying/laughing,

get up 

and

hug each other,

 

 

then 

dance like

Fred

+

Ginger

 

Regurgitate

all your hate

THEN

proceed to find

two other 

hate mates

and make them 

repeat this process

:::

:::

:::

Repeated

thousands of times,

we can reduce 

the reduce

the 

hate thermometer

to 

Room Temperatue

 

While filling the world

with 

bad impressions

of 

Fred + Ginger
