New Music: The Change

 

A solo piano piece in D that features modulation from D Melodic Major (D major with a flatted 6th) to D Lydian in 3/4 time. One of the prettier pieces of music I've ever written.

Welcome to Moron Town

 

Welcome to Moron Town, where we manufacture the finest poo-poo and refined pee-pee in the world. Here in Moron Town, you get a square deal, because we're all out of other shapes, and to be quite honest, we don't know any others at this point. The Poo-Poo King dismantled the Department of Education, and now instead of learning mathematics and verbal skills, our kids work in the poop factory, shoveling shit into square boxes to distribute amongst ourselves.

We used to have a vibrant economy, mostly serviced based. We had schools and hotels and office buildings. There were public parks and paved roads and government services. But then we had an election, and the Poo-Poo King won on a platform of Bring the Poo-Poo Back Again. At one time in our history, Moron Town was a global leader in manure distribution. Many of our citizens worked in this field, but global trade agreements decimated our poo-poo industry. Our economy changed, and although we became much wealthier due to all the cheap goods we purchased from other countries, many people lost their jobs in the poo sector. There was a lot of resentment on the rural outskirts of Moron Town, and that resentment, along with fears of The Woke Mind-Virus, propelled the Poo-Poo King into office.

Unfortunately, the Poo-Poo King wasn't a very smart man. Despite running on a platform of Bring The Poo-Poo Back Again, many people were surprised when the Poo-Poo King put a tax on anything that wasn't poo-poo. Everything became much more expensive. All of a sudden, everybody became much poorer, not just because of the tariffs, but also because our non-poo-poo industries went out of business. Turns out that when you switch to a poo-poo based economy, anything that's not poop becomes really expensive. Our teachers, doctors, CEOs, service workers, and just about everybody else were soon shoveling shit in the poo-poo factory. Other countries heavily tariffed our poo-poo, so we started refining piss in an attempt to diversify, but nobody wants to buy our pee, and our poo-poo is unwanted as well. So now we sell poo-poo and pee-pee to ourselves, and everybody is dumb and poor as shit.

The Poo-Poo King doesn't care. He sits upon his throne of shit and pisses on anybody that approaches. The members of his political party (The GOP--Grand Old Poop Party) grovel on their knees and lap it up. They have poop in their brains and they can't stand up to the Poo-Poo King, because they slip on the piss. So we are stuck with our poo-poo based economy, despite everyone not really digging all the shit and piss.

I hear what you're saying. "Why did you guys vote for the Poo-Poo King, when Bring the Poo Back Again was such a stupid platform?" Well, buddy, this is Moron Town. We're all a bunch of morons. We do shit, and ask questions later. By the way, how are you enjoying your plate of poo-poo? Would you like some pee-pee with that?
