The Dirtbag Left

In the spirit of calling a spade a spade

I have to say that this news made

My outlook on the world overall

Get consumed by a darkening squall…

The left is reacting in the worst way

With its own polarizing media sway.

But also much smarter, right?

As compared to Americans fifty years ago
The extremely obese have grown 10 times or so.
So yes it’s a fact that we’re getting much fatter –
Too many fingers dipped in the cookie batter –
But at least it’s also very plain to see
We’ve grown intellectual curiosity… Not.

Dopies Choice

Can you imagine if this is truly our choice?
A socialist or a guy in a gold Rolls Royce…
Both are crazy in their own unique ways
And provide no help getting out of our maze.
This grand experiment that is our nation
May soon collapse in degradation.

Uh, honest, Ociffer…

The sirens and lights create quite a scene
As he hands over the cup you have to pee in.
“I don’t suppose you would believe
It might be hard for me to relieve
My bladder at this moment in time…
It’s brewing another Corona and lime!”

Many, many questions…

In case Florida had too few attractions

Some folks there took unusual actions…

I can’t say that it’s exactly clear to me

Why monkeys with herpes are fun to see.

But there they are, and we now need a hero

Since the chance of human infection is “not zero.”

Yeah, that hurts…

Jobs disappear for many reasons
Sometimes they’re tied to the seasons,
Or a new technology can take its course
Like when the car replaced the horse.
But dang it hurts when you get the sense
You can be replaced by fake intelligence.

Great, just great…

The good folks of Nevada put a sword in the sand
And decided on Bernie to take a stand
Against the imperious leader of our land.
The other candidates worry, as we all should…
Can Bernie beat Trump? Perhaps he could
But a socialist for President is just no good.

When good men do nothing

He is the most decorated Navy SEAL… ever

Combining strength, courage and being clever.

He served leaders on both sides of the aisle

And has put his life on the line, with a smile.

This patriot now says enough is enough!

We would be wise to listen to his stuff.

There’s hope yet…!

Meet Whisky, a happy and focused border collie

Who’s totally dismissive of the world’s folly.

She lives with her owners and 100 toys

And spends most of the day pursuing her joys.

Not frivolous, mind you, she’s learned the names

Of all of her toys while playing her games.

Deja Vu

Does anyone else get the feeling

That all of this chaotic freewheeling

Is not close to coming to an end

But will continue to make our minds bend?

Long gone is the notion of governing that’s formal.

It’s amazing what we now take for normal…
