The Illinois Hillbillies

Let me tell you all a story about a man named Todd
The poor salesman barely kept his cats fed
Then one day he was playin the lottery
When up from the computer came the winning numbers
300 million that is
150 million if you take it as one lump payment
Next thing you know old Todd's a millionaire
Kinfolk said, "Todd! Move away from there!"
They said Illinois is the place you outta be
So he loaded up his crap and he moved to Illinois
Cub fans that is, Bear fans too
The Illinois Hillbillies

About this poem:
Parody of the Beverly Hillbillies. I have a friend who is always talking about winning the lottery. In this country it has become a kind of religion. I mostly despise gambling, preying on the dumb and uneducated. It does give people hope and it surpasses all other forms of entertainment in this country combined.

Just having some fun with future telling. The Mayans had their shot and blew it, let's see how good I do. One of the funniest bits on this subject is by Dana Carvey on SNL. You can find it on SNL Collection: The Best of Dana Carvey.

Santa Scale is Coming to Town

You better watch out
You better not cheat
You better not pig out
I'm telling you why
Santa Scale is coming to town
Santa Scale is coming to town
Santa Scale is coming to town
He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out whose fat or fit
Santa Scale is coming to town
Santa Scale is coming to town
Santa Scale is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've eaten fruit or cake
So you better be good for goodness sake

The New Year is approaching, and with it all the diets will start again. I saw diet ads during the Christmas season. How low can you get? Making people feel guilty during the holidays. Happy New Year Everybody!

Taking down the Christmas Tree

I took down the outside ligts
I put the manger scene away
I took the Christmas cartoons off my fridge
I put away my collection of Christmas Coke cans
I put my angels and Christmas towels away
I took the garland off the tree
I took the ornaments off the tree
I accidentally broke one that was about 50 years old
I dropped one but the craft string protected the ornament
I took off the star
I took off the lights
I dismantled the artificial tree
I had my Christmas decorations up for 50 days
I miss them, but it was time
I had to get read for the superbowl

About this poem:
I normally put my Christmas decorations away the first Saturday after the New Year. I will not be decorating again until September 15 when I celebrate Halloween again. There are many who keep theirs up till after the super bowl, some leave them up a lot longer. They are usually the same ones who have rotten pumpkins on their porch in December.

Scrooge's Movie Review

I would like to give you my review on some of the more popular Christmas movies that are out this time of year. I myself don't get much time to watch movies as my work occupies me constantly.

Home Alone

Completely unbelieveable concept
A little boy outsmarts two grown adults crooks
If it were in real life he would have been shot dead
And boiled in his own pudding

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

The only character in that movie I like was Clark's boss
Then he gets all liberal at the end and gives out bonuses
My miserable bookkeeper Crachit is lucky he gets a day off
And in the process picking my pocket for a day of unearned wages

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer

The good thing about this movie is that Santa and I are a lot alike
He sees a way of exploiting an employee
In this case Rudolph with his horrible birth defect
And turns it into a positive for the company
Pure genius!

It's A Wonderful Life

My favorite part of this movie is that Mr. Potter
Never gets in trouble for stealing the 8,000 dollars
From Uncle Billy
One of the most realistic movies ever made
Except for the part of George Bailey being a chump
And never making any profits off the loans he gives out
Good luck finding a George Bailey in London Or anywhere else for that matter!

Terrance the Turkey

Hello, my name is Terrance the Turkey
Can you do me a huge favor?
Please don't have turkey this Thanksgiving
I don't want to wake up Thanksgiving morning
With my head cut off and stuffing shoved up my butt
There are a lot of great alternatives
Ham is a good choice
For all you hunters out there
Vension is a great choice
Steak is always a winner with friends and family
For all you vegetarians out there
They make a fake turkey called tofurkey
Made entirely out of soybeans and other nonmeat additives
As far as pumpkin pie
It does contain eggs
I'm ok with that
They're chicken eggs!

Chinese food

Stir fry
Stir fry
Give me some of that Stir Fry
I want some small ears of corn
they fill my soul
How about a crispy egg roll
Sweet and sour sauce
Duck sauce
Put it right on
Take a nice wonton
Don't use the fork
It really is too quick
Use a pair of chop sticks
I like the vegetables and meat
It's so juicy
But you can keep your sushi
Peace!
Word to your wok

You've been Nexflixed!

I was waiting with patience
For my Nexflix to come in the mail
The shiny red envelope was my favorite piece of mail
Where did you go?
I found out with a lot of prying on your website
You no longer allow just a dvd in the mail
You have to have the streaming first
Then you can add the dvd option for another eight bucks
You changed and seperated the two and I paid the 16 bucks for a while
Now you want me to pay for a service
I don't even use so I can get eight dvds in the mail a month
that would be two bucks a dvd
I can get them at the library for free
I can get them at Redbox for 1.29
Redbox doesn't charge a monthly fee either
I'd like to keep you around
but for now I have to say
bye bye!

It's a Wonderful Fishing Trip?

When you were little the fish would bite all the time
Why didn't you leave some for me daddy?
You used to tell me stories of catching 100 fish in an hour
Why didn't you just catch 25 and leave the rest for me?
Why do you vilify Mr. Potter
But then you act like him by taking all the panfish?
You say this is wonderful weather for fishing
I look at my bobber and it lays still for hours
This you call a wonderful fishing trip?

About this poem:
Mixing a parody I saw on Saturday Night Live about the movie It's A Wonderful Life. In the movie Mr. Potter never gets punished for stealing the 8,000 dollars from absent-minded Uncle Billy. In another SNL parody, Dana Carvey playing George Bailey gets a mob together to beat up Mr. Potter. "I don't want the money, I want a piece of you!"

Funeral for an Amoeba

We will all miss Hal
He really was a happy soul
He was a real good person
In spite he was only one cell
But they say good things do come in small packages
He ate a few euglenas the other day and grew too big
He split into two new people
Now we welcome Frank and Sally
I'm sure they will carry on his tradition
Of oozing around
and oozing around
Till someday they become
Bill, Sandy, Pat, and Bobby

About this poem:
The amoeba has a special life because technically it never really dies, it just splits in half, unless of course the pond dries up!

Barack Obama's Dad

He was born in Kenya
He went to Hawaii
He married a woman there
They had Barack Obama
His friends called him Barry
He left his wife
He left his son
He eventually went back to Kenya
He had eight children in total
With three different women
He was verbally abusive to his last wife and children
He drove drunk
He killed one man
He lost his legs and had metal legs
He died hitting a gum tree stump
While driving drunk
He has been dead for 20 years
Will his son get another four years in the White House?

About this poem:
I just got done watching 2016. I also read the book about Barack Obama. It reminds me of the George Carlin quote, "All the evil in the world, all the evil in the world is the result of what fathers do to their sons."
