The headline is of course misleading

And creates a narrative which is feeding

The sense that Mnuchin has no clue

Of what the White House should really do.

Asking for action from those who are dead

Could not even play well in states that are red.

Out of the darkness comes some light

Regular folk doing what’s right.

When policy abandoned a vulnerable group

These Belgians leaped up off their stoop.

They did not wait for help from above

But acted on instinct of human love.

My bias is open, I cannot deny –

The Patriots suck because they lie.

They also cheat, that’s just a fact.

Seems the coaches have made a pact

To support the team no matter what

Like recruiting a rightist new wing nut.

The financial picture is certainly bad
And states can’t get a loan from their dad…
So it’s only natural he would suggest
That bankruptcy really would be best.
It’s not so bad, and he knows the ropes!
Why it can even fuel presidential hopes…

Of all the things throughout this ordeal,

The countless ways life has become surreal,

One of the few that has started to chafe me –

Albeit a matter we can handle safely –

Is overuse of a word making me demented.

Can we please stop saying “unprecedented”?!

Perhaps I’m alone in being unaware

That cocktail hour had become rare.

Sure, the time may have moved a bit

But a drink every night is a total hit.

I didn’t know it had gone away,

So at the least, welcome back, I say!

Kids sometimes get a kind of bum rap

For being tied up within a self-centered trap.

Enter “The Makers” from down in DC

With their network of printers, in 3D!

They produced a new protective shield

And delivered thousands to doctors in the field.

He is a German and she is a Dane,

Octogenarian lovers staying sane,

By happily following all of the rules –

No need to board a ship of fools –

And finding a way to make love endure

With border picnics, and wine for sure.

If corona virus has made you feel trapped

And all of your patience has been tapped,

A new park design can now save the day

Giving you access to nature in a safe way.

You’ll have enough space to freely sneeze

And at the end, oh my, amazing cheese!

Marco Rubio is a Republican fixture

And often has an interesting mixture

Of new ideas with which he means well

But rarely do many think they are swell.

Will be interesting to see his party’s reaction,

And if this noble suggestion gets any traction.
