    Feb 22 2026

    In the Bronx, never take it easy,

    For a thriller that’s really breezy,

    Don’t get him annoyed,

    New York has never looked so sleazy.

    Mothers with no one between their thighs,

    Gave birth to an alien surprise,

    The town was conned,

    Their hair is blonde,

    Just never look them straight in the eyes.

    Jul 9 2025

    For Christmas Eve, John McClane’s advice

    Is to steer clear of the snow and ice,

    Come to think of it,

    Happen to the same guy twice?
