Astrology

I know it's nothing more than harmless nonsense

As any self respecting cynic knows

It's hocus pocus voodoo mumbo jumbo,

I mean of course apart from Scorpios.

Battery Chickens

What goes on in the chicken's head

As it's laying its eggs and being force fed

I know that it doesn't have much of a brain

But the one that it has got, must be insane.

Starvation

The fatuous woman says to her friend

as the restaurant comes in sight,

"I can't see how half the world's starving my dear,

This place is packed every night!"

Bureaucracy

To you I'm a very important chap

As you are to the chap below you

So he'll end up doing the difficult jobs

The chap above me didn't do.

The Toothless Tiger

The toothless tiger

rears its head

as if to roar

but yawns instead.

Sophistication

To share in that innocence just for a while

I asked what was making the little girl smile

The three year old said, in an off handed way.

"The guy in the bear suit's apparently gay!"
