Follow the leader, here you go
Think about this, ’cause I say so
Write about that, it’s what’s today
Care about this, because I say
Fear not if you have no thoughts
I am here to call your shots
I’ll tell you what matters now
Tell you when and what and how
The only arguing that’s banned
Is anything not second-hand
Stay with me, you can be sure
You will know the Cause du Jour
Greetings and felicitations!
Here in Vexed Sarcasm Land,
We are having celebrations
That you all can see firsthand.
We’re enjoying our successes –
Jobs and parenting and such:
Please forgive us our excesses;
Just like us, it is too much.
Vexed Sarcasm Land is waiting
For all who would head our way:
Though our revels are abating
V.S.L. is here to stay
I don’t think there’s a scarier
Or less lucid selection
Of humankind
Than those you’ll find
In YouTube’s comment section
Although they raise a question
Which has not, as yet, been solved:
Just how did all these
Heads get missed
When human brains evolved?
It was because of a place like this
From the slums my mom escaped;
And ’cause I hid in a place like this
My early teens were shaped
‘Twas from stories hidden in shelves like these
That my heart found it’s release:
Libraries may soon be a thing of the past
But to me, they always will be… peace
If you please
Don’t speak for me
I can do it
For myself
Be at ease
Passivity
I don’t need your
Extra help
Take your mic
And grievance lists
If you’re talking
Then please stop
For just like
Ventriloquists
Your words make me
Just a prop
Why do we have to go to Toronto?
I don’t know anybody there.
And look – it’s raining, always raining
I wanted Disney and it’s not fair.
Who’s Samantha? My Cousin Samantha?
This whole trip just feels like doom.
Hi. Hello. It’s nice to meet you.
Sure – I’d like to see your room.
Girl, I love that band — you’ve seen them?
Telling me they signed this shirt?
Man, I love this – what do you call it?
50 more? We’ve hit paydirt!
Sam I wonder, do you travel?
You could come down to our place.
I’ve got friends who’d love to meet you –
Let’s ask our moms just in case –
Why do we have to leave Toronto?
I was having so much fun!
I know its raining, its been raining,
Let’s not leave – we’ve just begun…
Life’s a desert, follow the tracks
If you stay one place too long
Soon the fiery sun’s too strong
And with full force attacks
Life is lonely, follow the tracks
To where others also live
Give while you can still full give
And cover up the cracks
No direction – can’t relax –
Leave the deserts sands behind
Let your wondrous way unwind
And just follow the tracks
Super-heroes should be easy to spot as such
Which is why they wear costumes
I know a man
Who has appointed himself Guardian of Society
Which I would say merits some pretty bright colors
And a cape, at least
