The Muse will often tap me on the shoulder and declare - "Say something about this idiot idea." And of course having little self-control I usually comply.
Being a wiseass means pointing out things that don't make sense or seem non sequitur and poking at them. Deflating pompous and pretentious ideas comes with the territory.
Also we laugh lest we cry. So chuckle at the presentation, although the situation isn't funny.
Climate Change
Open the envelope
called atmosphere,
put on asbestos
so you don't sear.
Don't get concerned
as the seas boil,
just jump in the car
burn up some oil.
Dance as the fires
around you roar,
the pagan's not dead,
he just moved next door.
Turn on the A.C.
and center on yourself,
future will be what it will
leave plans on the shelf.
Blow-Back Is A Bitch
Common wisdom says,
"Don't spit it the wind."
Which means don't fight the system
if you know the end.
However, society
and science show
advancement means
ignoring those in the know.
So we must piss and spit
into the wind
just gear up to protect
from blow-back my friend.
Repair
Baling wire, duct tape,
chewing gum;
fix-up what's broken
while still being dumb.
Like filling a rat hole
up with sand,
things may not go
exactly as planned.
Let's have a saying
fit for today
"Repairs are too costly,
just throw it away."
