Obloquy To Hope

The man is pregnant

with the dreams and promises

of a city set on fire at night.

Bloated belly salutes gravity

sUrnamed reality.

The family snores on his shoulders

The ghost palm of his children crowd his hands.

Crystal gazing and joyous poisoning

A wrapsody of humanity.

The man is pregnant

With the regrets of his tribe

The cutlass has scarred his palms

Cupping them into a half c

His neck bent in modern obeisance.

Who does he worship

The god of the circus.

His parents are reborn in him.

Live, work, die.

Shouldn’t there be something more.

Sometimes,

secretly,

In the night,

He watches the sky

And allows himself to be a child again

Dreaming of escaping from this prison.

No, he’s not suicidal

He’s escapist.

Reality’s handle is too hot for him

Or should i say he couldn’t slide into her dm’s.

The man is a corpse,

Visualize a society fed up with itself

A chick half-stuck in it’s shell

And they tell us to smile.

[OC] Ascetic Obloquy

Genesis, the spark of deceit.

The fallacy seems as a key

A tool to escape the heat

The world becomes difficult to see

A veil hangs o'er time.

Darkness takes grasp in the mind

Failure a burden accentuated by fear

Tighter one grows, breaking slowly with every wind.

Weight and pressure, oblivion seems near

Perdition and Turmoil

Barren and scorched is the soil

Nothing left but ash, life unable to grow

No stars, black sky, reality uncoils

The mind, ebbs and flows

Its foundations, tire of its work.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Petition to ban rants from this sub

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

My 4 year oldest favourit joke, which he very proudly memorized and told all his teachers.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

Obloquy to Hope.

The man is pregnant

with the dreams and promises

of a city set on fire at night.

Bloated belly salutes gravity

surnamed reality.

The family snores on his shoulders

The ghost palms of his children crowd his hands.

Crystal gazing and joyous poisoning

A wrapsody of humanity.

The man is pregnant

With the regrets of his tribe

The cutlass has scarred his palms

Cupping them into a half circle

His neck bent in modern obeisance.

Who does he worship?

The god of the circus.

His parents are reborn in him.

Live, work, die.

Shouldn’t there be something more?

Sometimes,

And allows himself to be a child again
