Some people go nuts like dogs do to butts. They are taxing that? How can they where they are at? That is just wrong. And they go further along the same old song.
Sugary drinks taxed?
In it's been faxed.
That is such a shame.
You pay more for the obesity game.
A helmet law?
Now that's raw.
Who wants to protect their head?
That just causes dread.
A speed limit?
Can't they dim it?
I want to go really fast.
It would be, literally, a blast.
A carbon tax?
Let's make tracks.
Fossil fuels are always the way.
Who cares about global warming today?
Bah, let's get rid of it all.
Toss it down the hall.
Watch it roll into the garbage chute.
Let's all remain mute.
Sugar isn't taxed.
Our limit is maxed.
Diabetes and diseases galore.
Wait, hasn't that come ashore?
No helmets needed.
Not cool to be deeded.
Brain damage is swell though.
I'm now too dumb to know.
Speed limits gone.
Hell, drive on the lawn.
Car accidents on the rise.
Humans dropping like flies.
Carbon stays this way.
Fossil fuels are here to stay.
Damn, they all ran dry.
Now all we can do is pray upon high.
Bah, let's keep them in.
Humans comply to win.
Change actually comes due.
A helmet actually saves brain cell or two.
Ever think of it like that? Humans are stupid where they are at. If left to their own will many would end up in a landfill. But by taking away the choice of it, whether or not it causes a fit, little by little some change may take place. Don't like the tax? Don't join the diabetes race. Poor, poor you will make it through. Now I'm taxed at my zoo. It's taxing giving humans sass. I'll go take a nap with my little rhyming ass.
Fill your rummer, get drunk all summer.
THE BLUE GUY IS BACK!
ReplyDeleteJust had to get out of the sack
Good thing it's not located in some shack
Nor am I on crack
So all is good
In the Blue Guy neighborhood.
Hey, it's Thursday...
Such a fun day!
Hello Cat.
How's the mat?
Copy and paste
DeleteIn post haste
Cat is alive
He will survive
At least until he can't
Then feed an ant lol
Can't afford an electric car
ReplyDelete(One that looks like one
One that is fun)
I like fossil fuels in a jar
Or on a star
Not nearby but far
But that's just the way it is
Doing the teacher biz
No ten kids though
So a mini footprint show.
I'd like a tiny shining star
DeleteI'd keep it in a mason jar
wishes would be near not far
do you think that is a bit bizarre
keeping my dreams tight
while I sleep into the night
making my world bright
on a dragon I'd take flight
A mini footprint you say
DeleteDid it shrink at your bay
Maybe you need a foot transplant
Hopefully you don't walk with a slant
I just want to wish upon a star
DeleteI'll just leave my own imprints
Wish and do
DeleteThen it can come true
As mini as can be
DeleteAt my non-kids sea
Dare I say, "Well, Scooby Dooweee!"
Guess I do
Now, where's my shoe?
No copy and past
Just typing with haste :p
Mini at your non kid sea?
DeleteDoes that mean it is too mini to make them come to be?
No mini me
Deleteat your sea
No mini Blue
DeleteTimes two
Where's my shoe?
DeleteSaid a while ago
DeleteWhere that did go
Good morning Blue
ReplyDeleteTel me how are you!
Tel you say?
DeleteLike a phone bill at his bay?
Haha tell should I yell

I'm not deaf
DeleteAnd my name ain't Jazzy Jeff
Blue is doing so and so
Too much work at his show
All work no play...
Hey...
That can't be right
Day or night
Thought you were off Aug 29th or so?
DeleteDidn't last long at your show?
That was the plan....
DeleteThen my boss said, "Hey, man...
We need you to work a bit more"
So I'm writing an online book at my shore.
Writing a book you say
DeleteHopefully it comes with great pay
Only the strongest survive
ReplyDeletewe grow and thrive!
Those not as strong
aren't wrong,
they just need a little more
and so those taxes come ashore
to keep everyone safe and in line
and just so you know, my dogs aren't sniffing everyone's behind!
Safe and in line
DeleteLike waiting for all to align
Never does happen
But things keep on a yappin
Not everyone?
So they have behinds that they find more fun?
Elsie!
DeleteIn the place to be.
With one eye
DeleteEver so spry
I'm not a fan of the tax on alcohol.....LOL.
ReplyDeletelol rather get drunk tax free
DeleteThere at your sea
Bijoux
DeleteDoesn't rhyme with Scooby Doo
How could that be
At you Bijoux sea?
Not quite
DeleteAt her site
Well if you are rich, you get tax breaks
ReplyDeleteand then they cry for more finding
Loopholes, while the rest of us pay pay pay
just look at my check I worked overtime and the gov't took a huge chunk..so not only did I lose time I lost money.
Yep, they take and take
DeleteThe more you make
The more they take
Better off to bake a cake
Gloria makes beautiful cakes
Deleteas she does like to bake...
That she can do
DeleteThere at her zoo
Simple peanuts have no tax
ReplyDeleteSalted ones do, who are these hacks?
I don't get their logic
To me, it's one big ick.
There's no speed limit in Germany as far as I know
It's fun on the autobahn asthey all go with the flow
Until there is a 400 car pile on this freeway
That's a lot of cars, that's all I have to say
Damn, that would sure suck
DeleteCost many a buck
Pile up and dead
Rather stay in bed
Sugary drinks taxed? Go for it. I don't drink them.
ReplyDeleteHowever I do think speed limits are merely suggestions.
haha yeah, suggestions we can get on board with too
DeleteAs long as we have the dough to pay any ticket at our zoo
Haha someone once told me that stop signs in parking lots were optional as long as no one was crossing you can just go, but is that true?
Deletelol nope, $250 ticket or so
DeleteIf the copper sees you with no stop and go
I guess they aren't "stoptional" haha
Deletehaha nope
DeleteStop and tional can't elope
Suggestions they are
DeleteDrive like a speedy star
A what-you-call-that?
A speedy star at my mat
Suggestions... how about illusions?
Speed limt confusions...
See, now I need a drink
This suggestion stuff makes me think!
Can't have none of that
At the Blye guy mat.
The Blye guy mat?
DeleteDrunk already where you are at?
Suggesting it or doing it?
Geez, could cause a fit
I need glass, is all
DeleteGetting old at my hall
Glass for an eye
DeleteOh me, oh my
Tax us to death they do
ReplyDeleteAlways adding a new one

And that is no fun.
Betty

Stupid is matching lace
With a blue suede shoe.
The humper ones
DeleteWho hump tons?
That's right
DeleteDay or night
Hump to their delight
DeleteNight or bright
Of taxes I am no fan
ReplyDeleteAnd government is bigger than I am
But I'll keep working every day
And keep paying taxes at my bay
Can't do much else at any sea
DeleteFor then they can just take all from thee
Yup, those taxes are a pain in the you know where.
ReplyDeleteThat they are
DeleteAt any sand bar
A Little Tax Just Relax!
ReplyDeleteNone looking what's the snag
Unfairly taxed
That's a fact
Taxman's noose ready to snap

and produces startling results)
Hank
Zinger I knew
DeleteThanks for the read at the other zoo
Arent' helmet laws just getting in the way of natural selection?
ReplyDeleteThat they may be
DeleteLet them dumb fall in the sea
Texas has no personal income tax, but they have sales tax on everything. It is all a money shuffle game. No one wins
ReplyDeleteNo personal income tax may be nice
DeleteNo end of the year pay the price
Things can be taxing. I enjoyed reading.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
Yippeeee
DeleteFor meee
Hey, Pat! I hope that you are having a great day. The weekend is in sight. I raced to the end of "Delivered" last night. IMHO, it is the best of your books that I've read so far. I cheered at the ending ~ It was very satisfying! I especially enjoyed how you got inside Martin's head and shared a lot of his thinking. He is a unique character, and I'm glad that you developed him so fully. Well done, my prolific friend!
ReplyDeleteTaxes don't bother me as much as some people, although I hate to see tax money wasted We all want the services that come with living in a modern well-functioning country, but we whine about paying for them.
And I hate that the superrich get off so lightly. I think one of the things that upsets me most about Trump is that in 1995 he wrote off $916,000,000 as a business losses and didn't pay federal taxes for decades. Disgusting, even if the tax laws permitted it. It didn't make him smart; it made him a parasite. Okay, I'll stop! Have a good one!
The best you say?
DeleteWorks for my bay.
Getting better as I go
Marvin soooooooo deserved his final low
Unique he was indeed
You sure flew through that one at your feed
Faster than even I can write
Cheering as his final act did ignite.
Yeah, seeing it wasted is dumb
I just pay and get it over with no matter the sum
Idiots like that deserve to be tossed in the sea
A parasite through and through that gets away scot free
My son's helmet went flying after he hit the ground. If he hadn't had it on, he would have likely been in really, really bad shape. I'm a huge proponent of helmets. Update: After his wreck he bought a BMW bike that cost as much as a car. He drove it for about a year? He and his brother both (coincidence) just sold their bikes a few months back. We are now a motorcycle-free family, woohoo! Life is good. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like that is a relief, always worrying about a fall, that should bring you a bit of peace :)
DeleteYeah, helmets are just common sense
DeleteGood he can talk about the accident in past tense
Motorcycle free is the way to be
Never much of a fan of them at my sea
If the tax man sould figure out how to tax stupidity there sure would be lots of dough rolling in!
ReplyDeleteYep, there would be a ton
DeleteMany be broke under the sun
I think nobody like taxes :(
ReplyDeleteThe tax man does
DeleteProbably gives him or her a buzz
Congratulations on your guest post. It was a fun read!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's a shame that they have to legislate things that are common sense, just because so-called common sense just isn't so common!
That indeed
DeleteGlad it was a fun read
Yep, should be called rare sense now
If it ever was common somehow
There's a tax for everything now.
ReplyDeleteProbably soon be a tax for tax
DeleteCharging all to the max
Taxes are coming out of our butts.
ReplyDeleteAnd out they come
DeleteShitty and then some
orlin N cassie;

trubull waz....it waznt R lawn......faaaaaaa...
they had crap ass lawn orna mintz any way ~~~~~~~~~ ☺☺♥♥
haha took care of the tacky view
DeleteThat they had in front of you
They are taxing labor here. So now when something breaks down and you call someone to repair it...yup, you've got to pay a tax on top of the repair bill. Pretty pathetic.
ReplyDeleteDamn, they are sure going to town
DeleteIn taxes all will drown
The echoes that come from that dome
ReplyDeleteThat place where nobody’s at home
Where grass share the plain
With dust flown from Maine
This space where a brain used to roam
Out in the field
DeleteBrain cells did yield
The government sure likes to get their cut. Talk about the biggest bunch of freeloaders ever. Taxes here, fees there, gimme gimme gimme. Just a legal way for them to rob us blind :(
ReplyDeleteYep, parasites by the bunch
DeleteAs they eat their 1000 buck lunch
We have a lot of taxes here in CT and it sounds like some of them are going up again.
ReplyDelete~Jess
That is all they do
DeleteNever down at ones zoo
I pay my taxes when they come due.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to go to jail, do you?
Nope, they get paid
DeleteWe don't want to learn a jail trade
