The virus does not frighten me
Because sooner or later people will be fine
But the one thing that scares the hell out of me
Is how willing we were able to fall in line
Joe Marcello Apr 2020
Approximately 1 million dogs in the US are named as heirs
Inheriting millions after their owners pass away
Now it does seem a bit ironic
Since dogs rest in peace every day
Joe Marcello Apr 2020
Being of small stature I had to be much smarter
Many arguments and disagreements I had to quell
Because finding myself in a fair fight
Means I really didn't plan it very well
Joe Marcello May 2021
Giving advice in the direction of life
Think before you open your mouth
Consider greatly north, east and west
For matters can go quickly south
Joe Marcello Oct 2020
There is a group of dangerous people here
And they strategically use their forces
No guns or knifes or physical weaponry
They call themselves anonymous sources
Joe Marcello Mar 2022
Imagine when scientists find the center of the universe
And how does all this space and time fit
Watch for the surprise of the politicians when they realize
That they are not the center of it
Joe Marcello Mar 2021
Have you looked at the automobiles in a parking lot lately
All the makes and models look the same
We are all the victims of conformity
And we only have ourselves to blame
Joe Marcello Sep 2021
How do you fight the Taliban in Afghanistan
Only a few options to choose
I would have giving arms to the Afghan women
For sure, they had the most to lose
Joe Marcello Aug 2020
There are 5000 times more fish than people
More ocean than land would be the reason why
But then again there should be 70 times more birds
Since neither compare to the amount of sky
Joe Marcello Jan 2021
News media, print media, social media, so many voices
All striving to speak truth to power
Believing they are worthy of the final destination
Their prestigious ivory tower
Joe Marcello May 2020
I am pretty much a laid back kind of guy
Even keeled and doing well
But I'd have to say I think I'm more like a duck
Calm on the surface but actually, paddling like hell
Joe Marcello Aug 2020
The freedom of speech, assembly, and dissent
On the surface seems we are all in agreement
In reality, there is far too many people
Who are only believers when it's convenient
Joe Marcello Dec 2020
Just a year ago the media was all upset about bullying
Lots of finger pointing and blaming
But now, they're pushing hard the covid rules
They claim not bullying, it's shaming
Joe Marcello Jan 2020
A British lawyer wearing a kimono armed with a bat
Claimed he killed a fox that was on the loose
Now that does seem a bit strange to me
Since kimono wearers normally bludgeon deer, elk, and moose
Humor
Joe Marcello May 2022
All this talk about genders is a bit confusing
All emotions have been torn
But then again, I was a man trapped in a woman's body
Until the day I was born
Joe Marcello Apr 2022
President Putin has always had a plan to extricate himself
In case he was unable to take this hill
He will claim victory by eliminating the Nazis
As he sticks the rest of the world with the bill
Joe Marcello Aug 2020
Note to the rioters and looters
Though justice maybe blind
All the law abiding citizens
Can all see you just fine
Joe Marcello Nov 2020
Your attorney has drawn up your last testament
Shock on your face when you get the bill
A word to he wise
Only God can fully grant free will
Joe Marcello Jan 2020
When you remember a past event
The actual event you do not recall
Your brain is remembering the last time you remembered it
So perhaps it never happened at all
Joe Marcello Jun 2020
Whenever there is an unjust tragedy or event
A peaceful protest is something you can believe in
But sadly you realize it has nothing to do with justice
But, has everything to do with just getting even
Joe Marcello Feb 2020
The word oxymoron is a oxymoron in itself
From Ancient Greece where language skills are strong
The word oxy meaning sharp and ***** meaning stupid
Making the use of that word, rightly wrong
Joe Marcello Mar 2020
There should be just two countries in the world
One for us optimist, dreamers, and strivers to do well
A much larger one is needed for pessimists and Debby downers
Because doom and gloom is much easier to sell
Joe Marcello Aug 2021
So you want to go it alone
Asking for help is just not right
Please consider before you abandoned any assistance
Even a shadow needs a light
Joe Marcello Feb 2020
They make all kinds of days out there
Some days my ideas are better then sliced bread
But those days are considerably overshadowed
By the days when even forward, is to far ahead
Joe Marcello Dec 2019
A single dose of ****** cost fifty bucks
That price is quite a fright
Add in dinner and a *******
You're talking a very expensive night
Joe Marcello Mar 2022
Nature seems to be a very happy place
With birds chirping and frogs croaking everything is fine
Although there are some sad moments
Of course when willows are weeping and grapes turn to whine
Joe Marcello Feb 2021
Governments, business, science and world organizations
Are all a big fan
Who has the most power of persuasion
It's the boogeyman
Joe Marcello Jun 2020
Discussing the idea of a parallel universe
Is often intriguing and really kind of fun
But what really elicits my interest
Is the idea there's a perpendicular one
Joe Marcello Oct 2020
Most people speak when they should be listening
More thought should be promoted
Better that your silence be misinterpreted
Then for you to be misquoted
Joe Marcello Sep 2020
The excitement for the young to be involved in a protest
With the belief that all these causes seem to make sense
Just remember to think of your future
Because good jobs are rare with a felony offense
Joe Marcello Sep 2020
There are many mysteries and questions about the Bible
It's hard to know where to begin
Starting with the pictures of Adam and Eve
Why have belly buttons drawn in
Joe Marcello Feb 2021
I commanded my dog to sit, he stood
Now go fetch a stick, he stayed resting
Told him to roll over, he begged
I'm now against animal testing
Joe Marcello Jul 2020
Add the species comedian to the endangered species list
For their offending words must be silenced
And even the phrase punchline
Is now considered an act of violence
Joe Marcello Mar 2020
Over 37 trillion cells in the human body
Being served to us on a great DNA platter
***** cells are the smallest of these guys
Fortunately size doesn't matter
Joe Marcello Jun 2020
So we have built this great society
Now normally sending a message is who we are
But the tragedy is that we realized too late
That going to far is when you went to far
Joe Marcello Dec 2019
When looking for a new doctor
For me the best of all
Is one that's overweight and a smoker
And reeks of alcohol
Joe Marcello Feb 2020
Another of my hobbies is playing tennis
And I realized that is opposite of writing rhymes
Because some of my best poems
Come from aiming outside the lines
Joe Marcello Dec 2020
There is a new endangered species
No dissent is the road we embark
The mourning of the greatest punctuation
The tragic death of the question mark
Joe Marcello Mar 2020
Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion
That the human race has come to terms
That we forced ourselves to this sterile life
And now are prisoners to the smallest germs
Joe Marcello Feb 2021
They gather in a herd but bare no wool
Words and thoughts forever in sync
No idea how dangerous they are
All the proud members of group think
Joe Marcello Oct 2020
Men and women are truly opposites
It's amazing that relationships last
Since women look for men with a future
Men are looking for women with a past
Joe Marcello Apr 2021
I really don't like going to bed at night
My mind gets going around midday
I kinda like being a night owl
I never cared for worms anyway
Joe Marcello Mar 2021
When dealing with issues in your family
It's easy to get overrun
Seems a cinch to make a lot of people angry
Then it is to please everyone
Joe Marcello Dec 2019
Soon self-driving cars will be the norm
And we will long for the days behind
Because we are unable to just go for a ride
Without a destination in mind
Joe Marcello Jul 2020
Necessity is the mother of invention
That is how the entrepreneurs were handsomely paid
But when it comes to social political problems
Perpetuating the woes is where money is made
Joe Marcello Apr 2020
I feel bad for people who are using online dating
It's impossible now to meet for coffee or tea
Who cares if you like hiking, biking, or walking on a beach
Your main attribute is being virus free
Joe Marcello Sep 2021
Breakfast as a kid, Count Chocula, Franken Berry, Boo Berry
The good old days of sugar and fillers
Great products that were pulled from the market
General Mills the true cereal killers
Joe Marcello May 2021
For everyone who believes their dog is loyal
I hate to inform you, that you've been *******
They play that best friend card to the hilt
They'll go to anyone who gives them food
Joe Marcello Sep 2020
I have the same faith with the medical experts
Forecasting what the virus death toll will be
As in, if fortune cookies could actually predict the future
You would certainly not receive them for free
Joe Marcello Nov 2020
There are so many people unemployed
They say they would work if they could
But, the great thing about being unemployed
Is that the hours are so good
