The next person who asks ‘bout the weather.

The next person who asks ‘bout the weather.
(Be he or she in lace or leather)
          Will receive a hot blast
          Of cold curses surpassed
Only by lightning and hailstones together.

Would Zimmerman kill Travon? Now, would he?

Would Zimmerman kill Travon?  Now, would he?
Could Travon have killed George? Well, could he?
          I really don’t know,
          But if down there I go,
I’m sure that I won’t wear a hoodie.

Twinkies will be on the store shelves soon

Twinkies will be on the store shelves soon.
(Please catch me.  I fear I might swoon.)
          I was going steady
          With that slut, Little Debbie.
Take me back or my life is a ruin.

I’m tired of watching George Zimmerman.

I’m tired of watching George Zimmerman.
This coverage has be simmermin’
          It’s on every news show
          Everywhere that I go,
Except ads to make me a slimmer man.

In the Victorian Age in America

In the Victorian Age in America
Women often came down with “hysteria”.
          A doctor would ease
          This dreaded disease
With manual stimulation “down theria”* 

*See “How Sex Changed History” on one of those History Channels.

The National Security Agency

The National Security Agency
Is charged with insuring that we are free.
          But, they need to show
          Why they want to know
How often those girls hang up on me.

There once was a fellow named Roky

There once was a fellow named Roky
Who led a life some would call rocky.
          He fought mental illness,
          The shocks and a pill mess
But he’s back making music most ROCKY. 

For Roky Erickson of the 13th Floor Elevators, who produced the first great psychedelic rock song, “You’re Gonna Miss Me.”  Put it on your playlist, NOW.

I feel sad for those at Headline News,

I feel sad for those at Headline News,
Suffering from “Post-Arias Blues”.
          Poor Nancy and Drew
          Have nothing to do
But watch Vinnie and Jane read their reviews.

The “Smuggling Mom” has been cleared

The “Smuggling Mom” has been cleared.
Her criminal record is desmeared.
          At last, that old line,
          “I swear it’s not mine,”
Was held up by a judge, and not jeered.

There once was a woman named Cindy

There once was a woman named Cindy
Who wanted to race cars at Indy.
         She’s shown to drive well, yet,
She won’t wear a helmet,
Since her hair looks so nice when it’s windy.

DC cancelled the Legion and the Knights

DC cancelled the Legion and the Knights.
Out space heroes also said their “Good nights”.
      But, say it aint so . .
      He just got here, you know.
Slicing K’Rot is a terrible slight.
 
DC Entertainment has candelled a few comic book titles due to poor sales;  The Legion of Super-Heroes, a feature introduced in 1958 and published somewhat regularly since the 1960’s; The Demon Knights, a series set in medieval Britain, featuring a number of long-time DC characters; and Threshold, which was a collection of classic characters from DC space-faring comic books, including a new incarnation of Captain Carrot, from DC’s great funny animal series, Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew.  Don’t worry, most of the characters will surface in wome other series, probably kissing Wonder Woman.

Go after those IRS drones!

Go after those IRS drones!
Stop the poking at the Tea Party bones!
         We all should stand and plaudit
         A Congressional audit,
But, let those without sin cast the stones.

TruTV features the World’s Dumbest
With folks whose brains are the numbest.

         And Judy (that waif),
Are there to relieve all the glumbness.

The mightiest human alive

The mightiest human alive,
Superman has turned 75.
         The last son of Krypton
         Proved himself adept in
Insuring the American Way could thrive. 

On April 18th in 1938, Action Comics #1 hit the newsstands, featuring a 13-page story introducing Superman.

There once was a woman named Jess

There once was a woman named Jess
Who worked for the cursed IRS.
         She picked people at ramdom
         And rejoiced to hand ‘em
An invite to auditory stress.
