Frazzle Pazzle

December 6, 2025

Whackadoodle 
Walk your poodle
Eat a noodle
With some strudel

Whoopsie daisy
Love your crazy
Loopy lazy
Doesn't faze me

Hunky dory
Drive your lorry
Sing a story
Don't ignore me

Under over
Four-leaf clover
Cliffs of Dover
Play with Rover

Prince and pauper
Lemon dropper
Happy hopper
Never stop her

Razzle dazzle
Frazzle pazzle

Words unravel
Happy travels

Honesty Is My Policy

January 1, 2025

I told Candace Walter's cheating
I told Megan she was fat
I said Gail's looks are fleeting
And that's such an ugly hat

I told Dan his son's a loser
And his wife is scarfing pills
I told Frankie he's a boozer
They should pay me for my skills

I told Ted his breath is frightful
It could make an angel cry
The truth is so delightful
I'm a great and fearless guy

I'm tenacious and observant
I refuse to pull my punches
I'm a real public servant
They should honor me at lunches

I'm a paladin of virtue
In a world of falsity
If reality can hurt you
You're a fool for blaming me

Miscommunication

April 7, 2024

Got a new snork vorple
It's really kuper-kippy
It keeps me wipple-wapple
When the wunk is wappy-wippy

I don't like your gornpop
You're such a norky noobler
The mips are full of zanzi-plips
Don't jim-jomp on the goobler

When I was young, we porpled
We confoobled for a song
But now the nukstips borbalize
And snirkbob all day long

Don't call me a fubble flooper
Just cuz I'm purpipsy
The dinder dob is nabby dab
Someday you'll bloop the blipsy

You Ruined My Life—Send Money

February 9, 2024


You're a horrible person
And a deadbeat pop
You wouldn't bail me out
When I ran over that cop

You bought me diamonds and furs
And Lamborghinis
But you won't bribe the judge
You're such a grumpy old meanie

I'm headed for the slammer
It's not very funny
You ruined my life
Send money


On my seventh birthday
I got five hundred dolls
I called you a monster
Cuz I wanted them all

I stomp and I scream
When I don't get my way
Everything's your fault
I'm gonna make you pay

Don't apologize
And don't call me Honey
You ruined my life
Send money


My credit cards are maxed
I can't pay my bills
Who's gonna cover
My parties and pills?

You're a horrible ogre
And a stupid jerk
You said it's time to grow up
Like you expect me to work

You should support my dreams
Come rainy skies or sunny
You ruined my life
Send money

Captain Captious

November 18, 2023

The fish wasn't fresh
The server was late
The "hand squeezed juice"
Was frozen concentrate

The peas were canned 
It was domestic cheese
The Chardonnay was warm
And they didn’t let it breathe

I’m such a good person. Can’t you see?
The world depends on people like me
To maintain decorum and decency

The movie was dreadful
The plot was stale
The acting was wooden
An absolute fail

The mountains were awful
The snow was cold
It smelled like pine 
The rocks were old

I’m such a good person. Can’t you see?
The world depends on people like me
To maintain decorum and decency

The novel was stuffy
A disgrace to the arts
The story was filled
With boring parts

What a hideous house
And don't call me a hater
Somebody oughta kill
The decorator

I’m such a good person. Can’t you see?
The world depends on people like me
To maintain decorum and decency

just say goodbye

April 6, 2019

Hamster Heart Doctor

We had some plans to meet
You were seven days late
You said your hamster had angina
And your cat had a date
You found a hamster heart doctor
In a faraway state

That’s the best story
You could fabricate

you don’t have say why
don’t make up
another lie
just say goodbye
just say goodbye

We had some plans to meet
But you just weren’t there
You said you couldn’t find your keys
And you had to wash your hair
You really needed a nap
There was nothing to wear
And three of your cousins
Got eaten by a bear

you don’t have say why
don’t make up
another lie
just say goodbye
just say goodbye

Mine’s Better

March 3, 2018

I really like your auto
And the things it can do
We had one just like it
Back in 1962

My car does the dishes
Cooks my eggs and cuts my hair
It even does my taxes
And tells me what to wear

I really like your children

They’re not afraid to fail
They can even dress themselves
And they’ve never been in jail

My daughter goes to Harvard
Can you believe she’s only four?
Her brother just cured cancer
And he put an end to war

I really like your clothing
It’s so 1982
Your Member’s Only jacket
Is the perfect look for you

Everything I wear
Is from Paris or Milan
If the designer isn’t famous
I won’t even try it on

I really like your courage
You’re not afraid to drink
Nasty rustic water
Coming from your kitchen sink

Pure and pristine water
From a Himalayan spring
The Dalai Lama blessed it
It’s the only thing I drink

You’re my inspiration
You’re so gallant and carefree
You have the will to go on living
And you’re not even me

everybody tells a little fib now and then

January 29, 2017

zzzliar

Walter thinks that someone
Is sleeping with his wife
If he knew it was me
It would mess up his life
I told him not to worry
To shelter him from strife

It’s considerate to lie
When you’re protecting a friend
Besides, everybody tells
A little fib now and then

My boss really likes me
And he’s such a great guy
He’s losing lots of money
But he doesn’t know why
If he knew I was embezzling
He would probably die

It’s considerate to lie
When you’re protecting a friend
Besides, everybody tells
A little fib now and then

I’ll never tell my wife
That I pawned her diamond ring
She got it from her grandma
And she really loves that thing
But cubic zirconia
Makes some pretty nice bling

It’s considerate to lie
When you’re protecting a friend
Besides, everybody tells
A little fib now and then

I wanna be, I wanna be a secular Jew

October 30, 2016

zzzzeinstein

Been searching through philosophy
To find the one that’s right for me
I meditate and think and read
I finally found the perfect creed:

I wanna be, I wanna be
A secular Jew
I really love the Bible
But I don’t think it’s true

The Christians stole their book
Then they said it was old
We give them ghettos and pogroms
They give us comedy gold

Do the Jews have a Pope?
Cuz I was wonderin’ could he
Make me real funny
Like Groucho and Woody?

I wanna be, I wanna be
An outstanding thinker
Like Einstein, Freud, and Popper
Or that hairy-headed Pinker

Anybody out there
Think they got a solution?
Can I appropriate the culture
And skip the persecution?

Where do I sign?
I’ll gladly pay the fee
Is this a club
That would ever welcome me?
