Facebook is Zucked

Well this is certainly an ironic turn!

When working at home it’s easy to burn

A great deal of time down the rabbit hole

As access to media takes its toll.

It isn’t always efficiency’s best look…

And the reason why is often Facebook!

Is he or isn’t he…?

Of course he wants to be crystal clear

Because uncertainty is what people fear.

He says he’s been taking it for a while

Since White House infections started going viral.

But is he really? What do you suppose?

From his doctor’s note no one knows.

Awww

Finally we see the bitter chill thaw

And caring unity replace partisan flaw!

Nice Nancy is ever so concerned for the Prez

Who’s health may be more fragile than he says.

And Donnie for his part being a lamb

Showing it’s safe, not some sort of scam.

Georgia on my Mind

You’d think this would get a bit more press

Not that it will help relieve much stress.

When they reopened they were maligned.

Even Donnie thought they should stay confined.

But the infection rate has not changed much.

So we should study why that is such.

Hopeful History

Turns out humans may not be so bad

And the Lord of the Flies is the wrong ad.

When seven boys were really marooned

The captain who found them happily crooned

That they’d built gardens and chicken pens

And lived on their own as the best of friends.

Hole-y Hell

No doubt these masks are a total drag

So this genius here has the right to brag.

You know how it’s hard to breath in air?

And exhaling too can be a bear?

Problem solved with a strategic hole!

The future is bright for this young soul.

Just Like Us

The pandemic isn’t bad for all folks

Even for those who believe it’s a hoax.

Donnie’s convicted campaign chief

Spent some time in jail, albeit brief

And will finish his sentence with no fuss

Imprisoned at home, just like us.

Try Locally

I’m all about the extraordinary search

To find new worlds on which to perch.

But it’s important not to set sights too high

And I might suggest that we at least try

To find intelligence on our own planet first

And replace the leaders with whom we’re cursed.

Do your job

According to Senator Rand Paul

Dr. Fauci claims to be “the end all.”

In fact he’s a scientist doing his work

Not a failed senator just being a jerk.

He and economists must both give their view

So that leaders can then decide what to do.

C’mon…

Have a look at how this went down

And it will leave you with a frown.

The question she asks has no point

Designed to put his nose out of joint.

The answer he gave is his stock in trade

Not targeting the reporter in a racist tirade.
