karen and ken

Tristan Robert Lange



karen’s beautiful.
everyone knows that they are,
‘til they start speaking.
 
ken is so macho.
everyone knows that they’re an
insensitive jerk.
 
karen and ken dance;
karen leads the cha cha cha
while ken bends and twerks.

    Most charming piece my friend

    Every Karen deserves a Ken.
    Fate just draws them together, and the world is a better place.
    Slight mistake there.
    Fate just draws them together, and their world is a better place.

      HAHA! Paul, I nearly choked laughing at your correction! There's a distinction worth making! πŸͺ©πŸ˜‚πŸ•ΊπŸ™

        Oh dear, Orchi! Popeye's already contacted Greenpeace. Apparently, they're sending a rescue vessel and three tons of spinach! I see my Macabre Mondays have permanently damaged your ability to appreciate...erm...wholesome entertainment!πŸͺ©πŸ˜‚πŸ•ΊπŸ™

        Poor women named Karen and maybe so for men named Ken none the less there seem to be too many of them about and yes as your poem points out Karen's think themselves beautiful and without fault bound to criticize all about them while Ken's and the MAGOTs the Arian race and neo-Nazis that feel they have been neglected and left out of the politically correct world. What a dance Cha-cha indeed they would have a fit that dance is Latin and that they are against.

          Thanks so much, Soren! LOL! It's amazing how quickly a little humor can expose some rather ugly attitudes. And yes, I am with you. I feel terrible for the countless wonderful people out there named Karen. Damn, society can be cruel. Much appreciated, my friend! πŸͺ©πŸ˜‚πŸ•ΊπŸ™

            • Tristan Robert Lange

              HAHAHA! Kevin, I think they'd take one look at this lot and retire all over again! LOL! πŸͺ©πŸ˜‚πŸ•ΊπŸ™
