The Consequences of Social Media Engagement

There once was a reader named collectionspeedyae66825e51

Who cut the wire on my post from two days ago and now it’s done…

Tomorrow looks at the news

And see what collectionspeedyae66825e51 did choose,

But for now I’m going to collectionspeedyae66825e5 RUN!

Historically Possible

The Samurai saw a leather hat

With bills to block the sun

And said (probably in Japanese)

“That does not look so fun.”

So the cowboys took it

And thus the West was won

And I would wisely wager

That’s why the Samurai are done.

Supervillains In The Time Of Social Media

So no one pressed the button

And no one cut the wire

And the number of both tocks and ticks

Is growing ever higher

And I’ve haggled and I’ve cackled

And liked, shared, and commented

But my existential ticking threat

Has in no psyche cemented.

I’m once again tequesting

That you face a villainous choice:

Press the button or cut the wire.

Go on and raise your voice!

That’s all for now my puny foes

And future grimly-oppressed.

Now I’m off to my one-bedroom lair

To scheme and be despressed

True Or False

Tick…tock…tick…tock…tick…

Will you cut the red wire

Or press the button?

Earth 2026: It’s In The Game

I think that God has outsourced

The world to EA Games

‘Cause every year the same stuff breaks

But just with different names,

The upgrades aren’t what we request

And some good features get lost

Yet somehow we get nothing

That explains the rising cost.

A year or so ago this thought

Would seem a funny meme

But current events might indicate

It’s truer than it seems…

A world that’s run by CEOs

That, year after year, never change?

Now I’m convinced this theory

Isn’t really all that strange.

Ooooh… Maybe Traffic’s Part Of It Too Then?

If you believe the conspiracies

They’re poisoning our water,

Experimenting with vaccines,

And making brunettes hotter.

But if you would destroy the world

(Or just keep it from thriving)

Is make us always feel the way

We do when we are driving.

Suddenly, Elon’s Kids Are Grateful

So all of the people named Siri,

And also Alexa and Claude

Have joined the ranks of Karen and Dick.

We tried to choose names that were odd

But why not name AI Muhammed,

Maria, Michael, or James?

Sure, it might cause some wrong emails

But also inspire new names!

This Year For Christmas I Want Racially Accurate Casting In Supporting Roles

I know not of the origin

Of the fateful racial feud

Between the dwarves and elves of old

Nor how such hate ensued,

But the modern dwarf/elf rivalry

Is almost certainly due

To hiring dwarves at Christmas time

To dress as Santa’s crew.

PANned By The Critic?

I drew an unflattering picture

Of my friend as a half-goat-half-man.

He didn’t understand it was satyr-ical

But I’m doing the best that I can.
