Ode to Sire

Atop the traline waters
the mousy did adhere
it seemed he could do nothing
but sit there and drink beer

I love to here and there
the mousy said to I
He looked to the heavenhills
and chased a fleeing sigh

What wonders said the mousy
are beer and cheesy wine
I have some fine Camembert
now come and let us dine

We just relaxed on hills that night
and drank the cheesy wine
I listened to the mousy's philosphical side
for it was so much deeper than was mine

We talked of nymphs and dwarves
of angels, God, and hell
of distant stars and galaxies
and of why the Romans fell

He twinkled his eyes and whiskers
and whispered "all be well"
and then the mousy disappeared
to where he did not tell

And along with him went my soul

Another Ode to Sire

Some think of poverty as a curse
But smart and broke is even worse!

For ignorance, they say, is bliss
But I am smart enough to miss

The lovely things that cash can get,
Like stocks and bonds, a new corvette,

Big screen TV, designer clothes,
Decent food, a smaller nose,

A house, a life, a bit of hope.
With half a brain I'm sure I'd cope!

Does it hurt yet

My Visa bill is in arrears,
I have not paid in seven years.
Their letters, they are getting stale,
if not for Visa, I'd have no mail.

Now Visa's got my home phone number.
Each morn they end my restless slumber.
From hopes and dreams I do awake,
to rude reminders of my broken state.

They question me for when I'll pay,
I hem, I haw, I say... someday.
They harass me, they give me heat,
they call me names, like deadbeat.

I tell the truth, I think it's funny,
to bucktooth strippers, I gave their money.

They yell at me in blind rage
(what a way to start the day),
"Now listen here you little punk,
we didn't make Visa to keep you drunk!"

They threaten me with bod'ly harm,
like broken legs and broken arms.
Their threats are veiled, of this I'm sure,
`cause Visa credit is unsecured!

I really owe those senseless jerks,
without their calls, I'd sleep through work.

Sire got the T-Shirt as a tip for delivering a Pizza to SI late one night

Does it hurt YET!!!

Pizza Hut is where I slave
barely making min'mum wage.
Five nights a week I do toil,
with my car burning gas and leaking oil.

Small dogs have bit without remorse,
and made the lawn an obstacle course.
I die a death at each new door.
I can't take this job no more!

Cruel parents revel in that game
of sending kids with exact change.
These are words that they should hear,
I'm hoping I can make this clear:

I don't deliver for my wealth,
I need insurance for my health.
So do your part to spread some joy,
and kindly tip your pizza boy.

Well, OK now I believe you.

Pretty cool! 3 millionaires on one shirt! That is if Jeff and Brad gave Jill 5%.
