WOKE
You think you're one hip asshole keeping up on all the terms
Watching Fox and Gutfeld like the best behaved of worms

Safe. Legal. And None Your Goddamned Bus'ness!
Safe. Legal. And NONE YOUR GODDAMNED BUS’NESS!
Well these are quite the times, we heard a ruling about Roe
The Christian nationalists on the SCOTUS gave it the heave ho
And since nobody asked me lately
If I would opine
On what my take on this whole issue is
Well, OK, fine
Since you haven’t asked
And since, I am a straight white male
I know you need my take on this post haste,
So without fail:
My opinion on abortion?
Well here it is, bear witness
It should be Safe, Legal,
And none your goddamned bus’ness
Don’t call yourself pro-liberty
If your government watches
And wields its sovereignty over
Everybody’s crotches
Especially if’n you’re livin’ down there in a southern state
With higher infant mortality
Than Leb’non or Kuwait (look it up)
Yeah we got third world rates of infant death
Right here, damn skippy
So don’t claim your pro-life
(I’m lookin’ at YOU Mississippi)
Here’s the take away in case you still somehow ain’t gettin’ dis’
Safe. Legal
And None your goddamned bizness
Br.
Are we really gonna try to numerate and try keep pegs
On what each woman does with every each and every egg?
Cause then, equality!! Keep track where my sperms all go!
Cause frankly sirs, that info, you don’t wanna fuckin’ know!
(It’s really quite astounding, someone might wan’ call Guiness)
Safe, Legal
And none your goddamned bus’ness
So let’s just deep-six all these laws
All of which the like’ll
Put dumb criminal penalties upon the menstrual cycle
And further when it comes to gay marriage
Or contraception
The mind your own damn bidness rule
applies without exception
These rights should be sacrosanct
And we should keep ‘em goin’
As does your right to shut up
And leave well enough alone
Stop you legislators
Tryin’ to get all up in this
Just make it Safe. Legal.
And none of your goddamned bus’ness

I Write Fiction
People ask me Winlar why do you debase yourself
Performing for the unwashed masses
Why waste your talent and Kamaka tenor ukulele
On folks who won’t even get off their asses?
They say you’re bunch a layabouts who wouldn’t lift a finger
To even try to get anything done
Well that ain’t true I’ve often seen you lift a finger
It’s just it’s usually the middle one
They tell me that I’m wasting my genius on you losers and I have to say I beg the contradiction
You’re all winners in my book
…I write fiction
I make a point not to judge on other people I’m always kind congenial and gentle
And I just wouldn’t dream of judgin’ any of you all right now as some of you are very clearly mental
Cause bein’ judgemental, where’s that even get ya’?
I love all of you the equal and the same
As people I meet under classier circumstances who aren’t irrevokably lame
Nope you will not find me a’ judgin’ or a’juryin’
Don’t even think you rate my jurisdiction
Nope. You’re all winners in my book
…I write fiction
Br.
Sorting people into classifications
That’s the kinda thing done by snobs
I don’t think other people are better than you, just ‘cause maybethey can hold a job
No you won’t hear me using
awful terms like low-class, ill-mannered or uncouth
Nope I’m too classy to use words like that
Even if they happ’n to be the truth…
So I’ll go and repeat it, it’s really a nice sentiment, don’t see why it’s causin’ any friction
You’re all winners in my book.
…I write fiction…
Yeah, This whole notion of winners and a’losers it’s a thing that anyone just shount do
I Don’t divide the world in two and call one group “winners”
And go and call the other group, well, you
Life as they say, it ain’t a competition
No matter how horrifically you play
A situation that the likes of you must be quite thankful for
Each and every motherfuckin’ day
And yes you could improve a lot in lots of minor areas like manners, hygiene, etiquette
And diction
But you’re all winners in my book
…I write fiction
Yeah you’re all winners in my book
(It’s a pretty thin book…)
I write fiction!
You’d like it, there’s pictures!

The Bible in We Didn't Start the Fire form
The Bible, sung to the tune of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”
You didn’t know you needed it, but you do.
God makes earth in the begin
Adam, Eve, Orig’nal sin
Fall of man, God’s great plan
Cain kills Abel
Flood and other this and thats
Canaan cursed, then begats
Table of nations, tower of Babel
Abraham hits rock bottom
Destruction of Gomorrah and Sodom
Isaac’s Sidekicks, Esau, Ishmael
Jacob steals the birthright
Then beats God in a fight
Stairway to heaven, now he goes by Israel
He runs off and double weds
Leah, Rachel, lots of kids
Run around, lost and found
Joseph gets a coat
Sold into slavery
Though his brother’s knavery
Feast and famine,
Lil’ Joe gets his game on
Then to Egypt they all go
Joseph working for Pharoah
Joseph dies
Plagues of flies

To Promised land they crawl
Bunch of military stands
Burning bush, ten commands

Cloud by day, fire by night
Tabernacle, buds on Aaron’s staff
Israelites keep up the pace
Moses gets a shiny face
Wrath of God, Ephod
Golden ark stays hidden
Breakin’ down the Jewish law
Sacrifices to the God
Sinai, Levi
Some foods get forbidden
Census taken, Folks rebel
God sends rebels straight to hell
Earthquake, Bronze Snake
Water from a rock
Balaam’s donkey, Midianites
Lots of real one-sided fights
Promised land, Moses banned
40 years? That wasn’t planned!
Eatin’ Quail and livin’ large
Moses out. Josh in charge
Crossing Jordan, Fall of Jericho
Circumcision at Gilgal
Caleb proves a trusty pal
Canaan! Ah man!
Fin’ly, in we go!
Battle entered, Sun stands still
Five Amorite kicks are killed
Plots allotted to the twelve tribes
Confident they’re fin’ly home
Now they bury Joseph’s bones
Praising, grazing
Lots of diatribes
Judges set to rule the place
But the people lose their faith
Deborah, foo for ah
This goes on a while
Othniel and Ehud bite
Gideon kills the Midianites
Micah, like ya’
Samson and Delilah
Samuel comes, folks want a king
That may ruin everything
God says fine, Philistines
Then they turn to Saul
Saul disses Samuel
Country then goes right to hell
David sings, grabs a sling
Then Goliath falls
Saul goes nuts from jealousy
David will the next king be
Might men, Jerusalem
David and Ziba
Lots of infidelity
Absolem’s conspiracy
Naughty hottees
Nathan, Bathsheba
Much much later David dies
Solomon is very wise
Temple built, no more guilt
Then the baby split
He kills off his enemies
Fetches lots of cedar trees
Then his death, what a mess
Everything to shit
Kingdom gets split in two
Lots of kings, god knows who
Ahijah, Elijah
Nehoboem, Nadab
Asa, Baasha, Elah
Omri, Zimri, Judah
Prophets come off it
Ahab, Ben-hadad
Ahaziah, Zechariah
Pekahiah, Hezekiah

Elisha comes, how ‘bout that?
Jumpin’ King Jehosophat!

Jezebel
Elijah goes straight up to heaven
Still eating the bread unleaven
Axhead floats, scape goats
Kids get in a scrap
Envoys from Babylon
More and more kings on and on
God condemns
Jerusalem
Then we must recap…
Chronicles reiterates
Lots of names, lots of dates
Exile
Takes a while
Ezra rebuilds
Xerxes, Darius
Jews won’t intermarry us
Confession, Procession
Everyone is thrilled
Brand new walls begin to wail
Esther lives a fairy tale
Mordecai, real cool guy
Haman gets hanged
Nehemiah brings them back
Fends off loyalist attack
Exiles reconciled
Back! Well, I’ll be danged!
Brief tangent, now comes Job
Pretty little epic ode

Malachi dots the eye
End of Act one!!!

Teenagers!
Children, god they’re beautiful
‘Specially your own;
Parents, savor these fine jewels
Soon they’ll be full grown
Love each little trait
Love each slip and fall
Even appreciate
Those times they cry and whine and bawl
Their delightful little smiles
The funny things they say
Enjoy these things all while
You still can see them everyday
Love these little guys
These little golden dream makers
Cause in the blink of an eye
They turn into fucking teenagers…
Teenagers, Fucking Teenagers
Whiney nasty, gangly little gits
Teenagers, Fucking Teenagers
Who only exist to give their parents shit
2
Now their voc’lizations
Seem just heaven sent
Soon every conversation
It will be an argument
Plus their faces flare up
Time will have its ravages
Those delightful little cherubs
They turn into fucking savages!
T. FT
A stage out of which they’ll hopefully grow
T, FT
(Mocking)
Yeah Dad I know I know I know I know!!
Br.
Oh great, you figured it out
Your generation figured everything out!
You’re so smart and we’re so dumb
Us, OK Boomers, yeah, it’s not boomer it’s Gen X but OK Do whatever you like you stupid fucking…
T. FT
Their sentences are abnormally curt
T FT
But yet still they just really really hurt
Oh they are sweet now
But you just observe
In a few years they’ll learn how
To tap dance on your every nerve
Time goes by so quick
Soon you’ll wish it went faster
So they can jump the ship
And then, you’ll miss the little bastards
T FT
Can’t live with ‘em can’t leave ‘em alone
T FT
Stop staring at your mother fucking phone!
T FT
They get more annoying by the hour
T FT
Would it kill you just to take a fuckin’ shower?
