Remotely Possible

In our kitchen there’s a new TV.
In our living room there’s one to see.
Our playroom is where one is able
To see 300 channels on cable.
Each bedroom has a wide-screen set.
No TV’s in each bathroom yet,
But please do not express your sorrow
They’re here to be installed tomorrow.
If there’s nothing on but junk and sleaze,
They all take tapes and DVDs.
So just in case you’re taking notes,
We now have thirty-two remotes.

Our Dollars at Work

You see the senate’s in session today.
Well, they must do something to earn their pay.
If they debate another hour,
I’m sure they’ll cut my buying power.
Debates, emails, and lots of faxes:
It’s a lot of work to raise my taxes.

Gideon (Judges Chapter 6)

When Gideon awoke as night was through,

He saw the Lord knew what to dew.

Jenny's Boyfriend

She’s five foot two, her name is Jenny.
She’s cuter than a brand-new penny.
Her boyfriend’s six foot three in height
And he is very, very bright.
His major is psychology,
But his homework’s Jenny-ology.
