Premium MemberMoses Was Already 81, You Know

      Moses was a senior, quite an old man
      God said: “OK, do the best you can"
        He raised his rod, split the sea
        Just when he had to go pee
      "Who do you think I am, God ~ Superman?"


Premium MemberThe Owl, Sipping Port in His Study

The owl, sipping port in his study,
Perusing philosophy muddy,
Proclaimed “Kant is cant,
And read more I shan’t,
I well know a fowl fuddy-duddy!”

Premium MemberCleo

Young Cleo had Caesar in her grasp.
So they stabbed him and said with a rasp.
You’ve disgraced us all.
It’s time for your fall.
And your girl can stick it up her Asp.

Premium Membertrumpfinger

Trump’s plan for oil—a humdinger
Borrowed from Auric Goldfinger
Make foreign crude stale
While ours is for sale
At higher prices that linger

Premium MemberMellow Yellow Fellow

  
      Young Isaac Newton sat under a tree 
      Got clunked on the head immediately ~

        The apple rolled ‘neath his knee
        Which caused him to pee, tee-hee ~
            
        Newton’s pants discovered gravity


Premium Membertoday is like 67 million years ago

While most view T-Rex as extinct
To a romping reptile Don's linked!
Their shared DNA
Lets the T-Rump say:
We’ll stampede with orders I’ve inked

Premium MemberWhen Shakespeare's a Mind For a Cussing

When Shakespeare's a mind for a cussing,
There's no indirection or fussing.
It's straight to the point,
A fool to annoint,
A wit-loaded bold blunderbussing.

Premium MemberRemembering Nine-eleven

Today’s anniversary marks twenty four years, of the Nine-Eleven Attack that was given to fears. As a bell denotes the dead, each name will be read. On a day in history that was awash with tears.

Premium MemberEuler's Identity

Raise e to the power of i
Then multiply i by a pi.
To all that, add one,
You'll see when you're done,
A zero will out of it fly.

Premium MemberIgor needs a bigger lab XV

See the novel anti-Trump signs
Protestor created designs
Don can't compromise
And blurs truth with lies
But we author all the best lines

Premium MemberSamuel Johnson, Happiness and Wine

As happiness now, Johnson thunk,
Requires that a fellow be drunk,
Pursuing the happy,
A literate chappy, 
So happy became that he stunk.

Poetry, Plato says know it;
"Go," though, he says to the poet.
It's good to be good,
But be understood, 
Best if you never do show it.

Aristotle, doth he opine,
That parrots grow saucy with wine.
I can't help but think
He drove it to drink, 
The source of its moral decline.

Practicing hard at his yoga,
Cato convolved with his toga.
The news he was caught
In this Gordian Knot
Spread to the land of Busoga.

Questing a tastier kind of cheese.
"I found cheddar magical,"
Said this poet tragical,
"Sailing the southern antipodes.”
