comedians, pranksters, jokers
and midnight tokers
keep us laughing
when we want to cry
even when we get a black eye
because the world goes around
with the laughter from a clown
worries go away
after a tough day
watching purveyors of mirth
makes life easier on this earth
as long as we keep clapping
they’ll keep us laughing
the internet is on fire
with satire
websites create memes
with satirical themes
trolls stalk the web
like an invisible celeb
mocking everything said
tongue-in-cheek instead
being the chic way
for netizens to say
their piece every day
the cow never even tried to jump over the moon
that story was made up by a common loon
waiting until the cows come home
is a motto that’s completely overblown
there’s one claim that won’t lead you astray
you should never kick a cow chip on a hot day
sacred cows have been known to bullshit
if they can see the benefit
it’s really all udder nonsense
and the opposite of common sense
the competitors stood before the sheer cliff
stirring nervously
nimble hoofs shuffling silently
as they waited for the event to begin
their coats wet from rain
their goal to win
no path to show the way
during the sheer climb
that would take all day
but the mighty goats
looking to become
the greatest of all time
do it for the glory
that treacherous climb
to crown a champion
in the Goat Olympics
gaining fame for all time
pack your bag and let’s go
it’s traveling time
don’t ya know?
It doesn’t matter
where we go
what country we see
or chateau
it’s about the adventure
don’t ya know?
escape your status quo
in exotic lands
or a hidden archipelago
the decision is yours
don’t ya know?
with the god’s favorite libation
there is much celebration
led by a smiling Bacchus
and his observation
that there is truth in wine
that imbibing is fine
and it’s okay to drink anytime
some early memories are gardens of delight
others are not so serene like getting into a fight
making Revelle car models like Ed Roth’s SuperFink
was a favorite hobby because I didn’t have to think
I raced on narrow red skateboards with metal wheels
while dreaming of someday having my own automobiles
my imagination was unfettered with too many facts
spending my time playing with all kinds of knick-knacks
countless hours were spent imitating TV heroes
in plots with pals featuring dramatic death throes
my memories of those early days
of childish beliefs and pretend plays
are still companions in my old age
and are still a pleasure to engage
my old legs with gimpy knees and gait
don’t allow me to move freely
because they ache
but it doesn’t stop me
from dancing in my mind
where I’m free
of earthly constraints
and physical limitations
that bring complaints
but I hear rock and roll
and keep on dancing
to please my soul!
we have to be careful not to believe everything we see
on TV
the line between reality shows and reality
has become murky
a parade of partisan petty bourgeoisie
on TV
from entertainment to ideology
a warped view of what the world should be
based upon viewer popularity
on TV
where talk shows hosts spew witty repartee
and political pundits dramatically can’t agree
instantly becoming must-watch insanity
on TV
where we can be fooled by technology
into seeing something entirely phony
gleefully watching a bunch of baloney
I think that I’ll never see
anything more deceptive
than a TV
the comedian who gave us the seven dirty words you can’t say on TV
was George Carlin, whose brutal honesty appealed to me
attacks by the FCC for use of expletives were thrown out of court
a victory for freedom of speech which the FCC tried to distort
while George is no longer on this earth his words are still alive
he made millions laugh about the absurdity of many things
yet there was a serious message to his acts that still clings
to our memories like fall leaves holding on until the last breeze
stubbornly clinging to his mastery of words and sly journalese
