On second thought, the prince knew

Kissing Snow White was unwise. 

After all, she HAD been

Shackin’ up with seven guys.

Bovine Troubadour

T-Bone, the bovine troubadour 

Sang songs of the range in Montana. 

In the end, his “home on the range”

Was a self-cleaning, stainless Amana.

Speedo

Uh, dude, about that Speedo...

Not that it doesn’t look good,

It’s just... some guys can pull it off,

And the rest of us... probably should.

Rapunzel

The young prince scaled the golden braid

Draped from Rapunzel’s head,

And shock of shocks, those lovely locks

Grew from her face instead.

T-Rex

I believe paleontologists 

Made mistakes at the t-rex digs.

What they assumed were fossilized arms 

Were obviously petrified twigs.

Trapped in an ever-deepening pit

The stress is taking its toll.

He mutters and cusses,

He grumbles and fusses,

And keeps right on digging the hole.

Life can end up in a mess

When we endeavor to impress.

Don’t try keeping up with Joneses

If it requires you take out loanses

Billy The Kid

Had he picked another line of work,

Say, accountant or librarian,

Billy the Kid might have become

Billy the Octogenarian.

They stowed away on Irish ships
Drinkin’ pints and gettin’ lucky
And the leprechaun hillbillies still roam free
From Georgia all the way to Kentucky.

The Golden Rule is wonderful,

Although a tad simplistic. 

It fails to take into account

The sadomasochistic.

Comb On Over

He combed across his bald head

Every day without exception,

And soon became a master 

In the art of self-deception.

Wanda bleached her hair

And now she’s living in recluse. 

Her platinum blonde dream

Became a nightmare in chartreuse.

Bessie was a milk cow

With a most amazing udder. 

Farmer John made millions on

Her milk and cheese and butter.

Spare yourself

A lot of regret.

Don’t do the dumb things

You haven’t done yet.

Giving is noble,

On this, we agree.

But I’ve gotta know,

What’s in it for me?

You tell me I’m part of the problem.

You say I’m not being a man.

Well, that isn’t true. What more can I do?

I’m whining as loud as I can.

Self-destructive, over-indulgent,

Out-of-control careening,

From this day, moving forward,

Shall be known as “Charlie Sheening”.
