“Please sir, may I have some more…?”
One of Dickens’ most famous lines for sure.
But not one that any human uttered
About the Brexit news that cluttered
All form of media – reason was suspended.
So thank God in heaven it’s finally ended.

Those masters of music in the band Pink Floyd

Had it right when they sang about the deep void.

The incessant shrieks of every political buffoon

Have effectively served to make us immune.

The threat of impeachment is in the air,

And our fatigue is so great, few people care.

Okay, so what if a president in office decides

That really the thing which creates our divides

Is the two-party system and an election,

We’d be more unified with one selection!

A self-serving creep, he doesn’t care what’s right,

Lord knows how Dershowitz can sleep at night.

One good way to avoid a witch hunt

Is to have a trial that’s not just a stunt.

The ladies of Salem were tossed in a pool –

If they swam they were guilty… very cruel.

It would seem that witnesses are essential

For any trial to be fair and consequential.

Apparently he did it not just to wow

But to mock black cops and get ahead somehow.

What forces are acting on these white men

That give them such a terrible fright when

Other people start doing well in their lives?

Why not just give them all some high fives…?

Man this guy is a real piece of work.

It seems he has a professional quirk –

Represent anyone no matter what

Who rapes or kills or peddles smut,

So long as they can help the cause:

Airtime on TV and fawning applause.

I don’t know, this one is just not clear.

It seems these days that we live in fear

Of saying or doing something offensive.

And perhaps we could be a bit more pensive.

But before you call out another’s deep faults

Check if your own assumptions are doing a waltz.

Just seconds to go on the Doomsday clock!

Closing in on a moment of considerable shock.

Nukes and the climate and unstable rulers…

Make you want to pack beer into coolers

And head to a place where you can feel good

Since what else can you do from our neighborhood?

Cheerleading has always seemed like a sport

Whose participants are forever sold short.

Their stunts are exceptional and very hard!

Often so dangerous that many are barred.

They work the sidelines of another game

But really deserve their very own fame.

Hang on, wait just one second here…

Do they mean to say this wasn’t clear?

Of course the figures seem pretty stark

But was anyone at all really in the dark?

They say that money can’t buy you love

But it can give the Grim Reaper a little shove.
