some of my favorite ‘how to’ moments

how to sarah cooper

cut your teeth on office wisecracks
google-hipster comedy acts

a “dilbert for the rest of us”
millennialese festivus

recall you from my early days
on this here online writers’ maze

our funny bones all a-tickle
with your workplace tricks listicle

now you’ve really hit the big time
with this tiktok parody line

headlining on daytime ellen
zoom-chatting at night with fallon

how to lobster, how to bunker
you’ve become our chief debunker

how to bible and hydroxy
how to burn the prez by proxy

with your talents you lay bare
all the substance that ain’t there

with each finely executed gesture
peel away a con man’s vesture

with each subtle mannerism
hold up a ferocious prism

you pull off what so few could —

you make that big dark suit look good!

thanks, Sarah Cooper, glad to see you crushin’ it!

me, personally, I’m a little too old to be on TikTok, so I watch your work on YouTube — the above still frames I took from this compilation:
