I’ll go along with that.

But if he has no fishing pole,

He won’t get very fat.

Anacondas and aphids protested.

Alligators and antelopes hissed.

But to their dismay, that one extra “a”

Put aardvarks at the top of the list.

I used to have an open mind,

It took awhile to fill it. 

Now it’s closed up good and tight

‘Cause I don’t want to spill it.

“To thine own self be true”

William Shakespeare once wrote.

“And to all others, lie.” 

That’s my part of the quote.

Assaulted in a high-rise elevator.

Beaten badly, battered black and blue.

That lady went completely apoplectic. 

And all I did was ask her, “When’s it due?”

Convoluted logic,

Demagogue and shameless spin.

Election time is coming soon.

So, let the games begin.

With a much lower class of opponents,

He went soaring from last place to first.

With pride in his chest, the worst of the best

Was becoming the best of the worst.

King Solomon was right.

I guess that’s why I’m so much more

Original at night.

“My opponent has been bought and sold!”

The politician vented. 

“Well, I can’t be bought, but here’s a thought–

Perhaps I could be rented.”

Miscommunication with

My wife caused our dispute. 

She didn’t mean “more kids” 

When she said, “I want passion fruit.”

For engineering jobs,

Note to self: Don’t use the words

Doohickies and thingamabobs.

You spew your hate, then ask the question,

“What would Jesus do?”

Well, chances are, He’d shake the stinkin’

Devil out of you.

It’s clutter that he fears

I guess that’s why he never filled

The space between his ears.

We raised that sweet milk cow from birth,

And milked her for all she was worth.

And when she ran dry, we had a good cry,

And the best steaks and burgers on earth.

Sometimes you’re just plain stupid.

Sometimes you’re mean as can be.

Sometimes you make me hate the fact

You’re always me.

A crocodile ate Lassie,  

Some cantaloupes and honeydews. 

Now he just can’t seem to shake

Those melon collie blues.

Is beginning to look like another.

And the older I get, the safer the bet.

Father Time is really a mother.

You say there isn’t any use in trying.

You say that you’re out-manned. 

Well, I say you don’t stand a chance

If you don’t chance a stand.

I could have sworn the road sign

Said, “Utopia Ahead”.

So how did I end up here

In Oblivion instead?
