| Cartoon Voodoo |
| by Mike Soper |
| I’m convinced That Cartoon Network Is run by an advanced alien species, Beaming their mojo in via channel 26 Ted Turner is simply A figurehead for the eventual invasion And the television has become Their one-way pusher, The emotionless Voodoo squawk box Dishing out the 2-D dope Upon which my daughter and I Have become completely dependent Our water is tainted With Courage the Cowardly Dog Our air toxic With Teen Titans Our food infested With Futurama We have to fix On Chemical X We’re turning Japanese With the jazzy opening from Cowboy Bebop And the closing punk theme from FLCL I’m culling flawed pick up lines From Johnny Bravo Craving jawbreakers Thanks to Ed, Edd and Eddie Hatching Wiley Coyote schemes To ensnare my wife in bed And I can’t say my name without adding “Super-genius” afterward If someone tells us that they’re going to do something My daughter and I are programmed to reply, “You might rabbit…you might…” I have almost ripped my left leg off twice While parking cars at work As I have the urge to open the door And brake ala Fred Flintstone One of our dogs is named Scooby Much like Peter from Family Guy One of my best friends is a martini drinking Boozehound named Brian I sympathize with Dexter As my sister is always wrecking shit too And now If you’ll excuse me, My wife Beep! Beep! Has just passed by on her way to bed And tonight I have a sure-fire scheme That I’m certain will backfire But I simply can’t resist. |
