Pass the ham

Know I’m sayin
Skip the cran- 
Berry jam
GROSS!

Sorry ma’am
Lions game 
People tram 
On the lam
Motown clan
Sorry Bills 
Ya gonna get 
ROAST!

Take command
Pack the van
With the fam
Warm ya hands
Liquor scan
Pour the Dram-
Buie shots
TOAST!

Taters mashed
Corned beef hash
Make a dash
For the cache
Leftover
Pumpkin pie
Yea that’s all she
WROTE!

Turkey slapped
Need a nap
It’s a trap
Stocking cap
On my lap
Love ya fam
But I’m about to
GHOST!

after a reflective opener about work-life balance and digging in when things get tough, kirk shares his very first written set of standup comedy. written in impromptu fashion a few weeks back, the five-minute set dives into language, sausages, condiments, and the dreaded bloody mary cocktail.

today's featured song is "slow build" by manabu (kirk's solo music project).
