Jon and Kate Plus Hate

2009-07-15T17:15:00.000-07:00

Satire about reality tv audiences.)

Life looks like a train wreck
And, you feel like you've been pecked.
Gossip blogs: Hell yea we click em.
Hope your children aren't our victims.

Fed by paparazzi
Who compare you to a Nazi
Now, they swear that you both cheated
The red meat htat we all needed.

Eat you as our main course
As we're voting you should divorce
Forget privacy. You sold it.
Will you double down or fold it?

Following your babies
Spread false rumors one has rabies.
Pity you so we feel better.
Quit now, and you'll be a debtor.

Does this have an ending?
And, what message are we sending?
We'll grow bored and crave another.
Move onto some other mother.

"I'm unavailable. Please don't leave a message." (song)

Lyrics:

"I'm unavailable.
Please don't leave a message.
I'm unavailable.
Please don't leave a message.
Are there goals that I might aim for now
If I knew just when I'd die and how?
Would I put my appetites in check?
Would I salvage anything I've wrecked?
Would I focus on important things
Or just take what inattention brings?
Would I change the ways I think and feel
About annoying things with which I deal?
I'm unavailable.
Please don't leave a message.
I'm unavailable.
Please don't leave a message."

The Sun Must Shine

2009-07-15T17:05:00.001-07:00

Do you prefer to sit and think alone
Or does the silence shake you like the thunder?
Can you shut out distractions like the phone?
Has worry killed your sense of awe and wonder?
Has loss occurred and left a gaping hole
Or have setbacks left you wanting to give in?
Does heartbreak have you doubting your own soul?
Is the universe your enemy or friend?
Do you despair each time you see your face?
Do past hopes and dreams seem like a waste of time?
Do you wish you were in another place?
Do you wonder if survival's worth the climb?
The dark clouds linger but they, too, must go.
The sun must shine, so let new flowers grow.

Parody: "Bernie Madoff's Blues"

2009-03-14T19:14:00.000-07:00

"I'm grateful for this chance to speak, your honor.
To share the details of my Ponzi scheme.
I promised I would out perform the market,
Give my investors anything they dream.

Split strke conversion's what I called my gimmick.
As I held their investments -- just for me.
My clients grew, while others asked to cash out.
I paid them returns no one thought they'd see.

I printed phony trading confirmations.
I even fooled those dupes at SEC
I stole the wealth of families cross the nation.
I even stooped to rob some charities.

Soon economic times made me grow nervous.
Confessed to sons who told the FBI.
Please let my wife just hold onto our assets.
Don't send me off to prison 'til I die.

Parody: "Identity Theft"

2009-03-07T09:57:00.000-08:00

Parody song about a D.A.'s report posted on the Smoking Gun.

All individuals portrayed are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Claims made in the D.A. report might be inaccurate.

He told her she was only used for sex.
He told her she was only used for sex.
That really made her mad with photos that she had
He told her she was only used for sex.

She posted his nude photos on Craigslist.
She posted his nude photos on Craigslist.
And said he wanted men to talk dirty to him.
She posted his nude photos on Craigslist.

At least, that's what the D.A.'s report says.
At least, that's what the D.A.'s report says.
It's on the Smoking Gun. His photos they post none.
At least, that's what the D.A.'s report says.

The moral of this tale? Well, don't pose nude.
The moral of this tale? Well, don't pose nude.
Or pose as your ex-mate just to retaliate.
The moral of this tale? Well, don't pose nude.

"Mesmerized"

2009-03-05T11:10:00.000-08:00

Poem about escape.

"Here you'll be anyone you're not.
Here you'll know anyone you won't.
Here you'll touch anything you can't.
Here you'll see everything you don't.

Welcome sleep.
Worries drift away.
Breathe in deep.
Floating on the bay.
Feel the stress
Melting down your feet.
Close your eyes.
Drift down to the deep.
Feel the calm
Counting back from ten.
Deeper still
'Till you wake again.

"I'll get back up."

2009-03-01T14:34:00.000-08:00

Poem about perseverance. Thanks for watching.

"Hit me, kick me, throw me on the ground,
Burn my house, lock me up. Things will turn around.
Drag my name through the gutter, kick me out of town.
I'll get back up. You won't keep me down.

Bills piled sky high on our friend named Bob.
Kids got sick, wife got worse. Next, his house got robbed.
"No, I won't be a quitter, just lay here and sob.
Family needs me.' Found an extra job.

Prom date raped her, left her in the cold.
Pregnancy soon arrived, prom date got more bold.
'You'll have an abortion. Do just as you're told.'
Instead she jailed him. No chance of parole.

Hit me, kick me, throw me on the ground,
Burn my house, lock me up. Things will turn around.
Drag my name through the gutter, kick me out of town.
I'll get back up. You won't keep me down."

"Friendship"

2009-02-23T06:12:00.001-08:00

You look past mistakes I've made
All the hands that I misplayed.
Always have a friend to call.
Lift my spirits when they fall.

You turned 'round to lend a hand.
"Here to help." "I understand."
I was stranded on the road
Fearing my car might explode.

I was bedbound late in life
Missing my departed wife
You came by to share a meal,
Lend an ear, ask how I feel.

Thank you for the joy you bring
You have given everything
Don't deserve the gifts you share
Thank God I have friends who care

You look past mistakes I've made
All the hands that I misplayed.
Always have a friend to call.
Lift my spirits when they fall.

"Haters: Fight or Flight Response"

2009-02-20T06:59:00.000-08:00

You're hanging out on Youtube when a hater comes your way.
Starts to call you awful names says your mother made his day.
So will you leap to take the bait, call him a dumb retard?
What if he knows just where you live and you become his credit card?

You're driving down the highway when he cuts into your lane
Then blows the horn and flips you off. Your blood it boils your brain.
Part of you wants to chase him down to have a closer talk.
But, he might have a weapon and maybe you'd no longer walk.

You're sitting down to dinner when a stranger rings your phone
To ask for cash for some weird cause. You really hate his tone.
Rambles on while your food gets cold, calls back when you hang up.
Will you set legal limits or will your violent rage erupt?

"Please Don't Take My Baby"

2009-02-18T03:43:00.000-08:00

Song/poem about grief and loss. Thanks for watching.

Please don't take my baby.
To my sick child I will cling.
Please don't take my baby.
I would trade 'most anything.
Just go 'way grim reaper
With the sadness that you bring.

Wake up with the night sweats
To confirm my baby's here.
Wake up with the night sweats
Overwhelmed by pain and fear.
Just go 'way grim reaper.
Don't you quench your thirst for tears.

Goodbye to my baby.
Watch 'em put you in the grave.
Goodbye to my baby.
Life your doctors couldn't save.
Please come back grim reaper.
Change the verdict that you gave.

"Valentine's Day Massacre!"

2009-02-12T06:32:00.000-08:00

Thanks for watching this poem/paper puppet show. Enjoy Valentine's Day.

Once a happy handsome boy
Met a sweet and pretty girl
Said I'd really like your number
She said my boyfriend's name is Earl
Didn't hang his head low
He hoped she'd come around in time
Didn't hang his head low
He hoped she'd come around in time

Mean ole Earl was a hitter
And was quite the jealous kind
Who was asking for your number
Pretending that I wouldn't mind
Then he kicked her down low
But no: She wouldn't cave this time
Then he kicked her down low
But no: She wouldn't cave this time

Boy saws them in her driveway
Just as Earl was swinging hard
Hey, it's me you gotta beef with
But boy he barely raised his guard
"Fore Earl pulled him down low
And cracked his head a bunch of times
"Fore Earl pulled him down low
And cracked his head a bunch of times

Cop car came a cleanin up
Earl laughed hard with his buddies
Throw this dumbass in the lock up
Made my nightstick so damn bloody
The boy's spirit flew up
He'd never be her Valentine
The boy's spirit flew up
He'd never be her Valentine

Once a happy handsome boy
Met a sweet and pretty girl
Said I'd really like your number
She said my boyfriend's name is Earl

Parody Song: "I'd Rather Eat A Pizza."

2009-02-03T09:07:00.000-08:00

I like to have my burgers Piled high with triple meat. I doubt I'll get Diabetes. Don't amputate my feet. Airline man, don't you charge me 'Cause I need extra space. Shove my seat belt extender in Your condescending face. I'd rather eat a pizza Than jog around the track. I like my portions supersized; Don't have a heart attack. Health plan, please don't fine me 'Cause I ain't losin' weight. At least, I'm not a smoker, now. I simply like cheese steak.

"Sleazy Lyin' Cheater" song

2009-02-02T07:09:00.000-08:00

He swore that he'd stay faithful. He said she was the one.
She wasn't very grateful when she heard what he'd done.
She met the other woman and asked if it were true.
"Said he was a widower. I swear I never knew."

"No, I don't blame you honey. You probably didn't know.
And, after we confront him, he's yours; I've gotta go.
You thought he was the rich one. He sponges off of me.
My lawyers going to blast him back into poverty."

"You sleazy lyin' cheater. Can't keep it in your pants.
You never guessed I'd meet her or catch your sly romance.
Tell me, 'Mr. Widower,' exactly how I died."
He said: "I hoped a car crash. It didn't work; I tried."

She ran and reached the front door when mistress tripped her down.
"The only place you're going is six feet underground."
He buried both that weekend but couldn't hide his crimes.
Now, he's his cellmate's girlfriend on deathrow doing time.
