Target Acquired, And Now It Won't Unacquire!A Poem by Michael StevensThe crack cocaine of politicians!I was so happy when old dead ferret head decided to run, for he's what we like to call a
'target-rich environment." Humor just slams into your head
with incredible speed. Just look at the man! He's basically a walking
punch line. I was told that now I had an
inexhaustible joke supply. At first, I was ecstatic--I could
write jokes about him in my sleep (what do you mean, 'isn't that always what
you do?') Very funny--do you see me laughing?
No? That's because I'm not! Anyway, like I said, at first I was
happy, but now, not so much. For apparently, once the target has
been acquired, it won't unacquire--I walk around
with dead ferret head constantly filling my head, to the
exclusion of any other thoughts. I almost forgot to eat lunch,
because I was thinking of one-liner after one-liner, faster
than I could type them. Do you have any idea how horrible
it is to just be sitting there, and suddenly you are a rapid-fire
conduit for rich jerk jokes? For massive ego jokes? Let me tell
you, it is a nightmare! I long for the days when presidential candidates were so bland, you had to resort to telling 'he's
so bland,...' jokes. Ah, those were the days! © 2015 Michael Stevens |
