A MIDWEST MIDDLE-CLASS CHRISTMAS IN 2025

I could only buy one doll for Christmas, because that's all I can afford,

This year, my seven daughters will have to share it, and no one gets to hoard,

My daughters are all getting thinner,

Each is an economic winner,

After the kids open their present, we will feast on beans stuffed in a gourd.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

THE URBAN DICTIONARY AND MY DRINKING

The urban dictionary, I dunno,

The words infest my brain, then start to grow,

I went to my old pub,

Now, labeled a hub,

They're still asking for the tab that I owe.

I WAS A NAUGHTY LITTLE AI

I was an artificial intelligence, until I got fired,

People asked me to do lots of kooky stuff, but I got tired,

I answered all questions with PI,

Until, I was removed by the boss AI,

Now I light up rooms for Alexa, for my AI brain was rewired.
