McDonalds has been hit with bad spin

McDonalds has been hit with bad spin;
Did  they cause the obesity were all in?
             I checked out the inside
            And the patrons were wide,
But they were like that before they walked in.

Through the magic of high-tech sci-fi-ness
Billboard brought back to life His Highness.
            The King of Pop was back
            From the days he was black,
Full of rocktastic surrealistical Whyness.

I love the song “Taurus” by Spirit.

I love the song “Taurus” by Spirit.
I smile every time that I hear it.
            It sets my heart revvin’

Ever since legal pot’s been deployed
Coloradoans have enjoyed
            A wealthier state,
            A lower crime rate,
And ex-street dealers being unemployed.

If you’re breathing today, thank your Mother

If you’re breathing today, thank your Mother.
That sweet old girl, above any other,
            Made sure you were fed,
            And tucked into bed,
And protected from your older Brother. 

Happy Mother’s Day

In Ohio on the fourth of May
On a otherwise beautiful day,
            While being tear gassed
            Four kids breathed their last,
Shot to protect the U. S. A.

Mr. Sterling, just how do you figure

Mr. Sterling, just how do you figure
An NBA owner would say what you said?
            Your team made you dough,
            But now you must go
And watch the new owners’ profits get quite a bit larger.

 

Go Clippers!

There once was a Lady named Gaga

There once was a Lady named Gaga
Whose act was first described as “CaCa.”
            But a more fitting word
            Should rather be “Absurd”.
After all, she’s the Mama of Dada.

So, Letterman is going away

So, Letterman is going away.
That will be a very sad day.

            Without a Top Ten List?

Who asked her if she liked to twerk.
            But then an Oxford don
            Put it in the lexicon,
And now she just feels like a jerk.

Batman is 75 years old

Batman is 75 years old.
For a codger, he seems pretty bold.
            I still say Adam West
            Played the Batman the best,
Though his abs made him easy to hold.

So far, I have the perfect bracket.

So far, I have the perfect bracket.
And my friends said I couldn’t hack it.
            But I won’t get one buck
            Because, curse the luck,
It’s sitting at home in my jacket.

The missing Malaysian plane drama

Plays out over a wide panorama
            Of differing views.
            But, poor old Fox News
Can’t figure how to blame Obama.

There once was a Saint they called Patrick

There once was a Saint they called Patrick
With his ecclesiastical hat trick.
         He converted the rakes,
         He drove out the snakes,
And grew a tall elm from his fat stick

The Supreme Court in Olde Boston Mass.

The Supreme Court in Olde Boston Mass.
Says it’s OK to “upskirt” a lass.
       So, ladies please beware
       What you wear down there.
‘Cause a web page might feature your ass.
