Comma La

Kamala Harris is a strong choice.
Reinforcing the ticket’s centrist voice.
Not to be messed with, not this one
She’ll be able to handle the megaton
Of nasty slurs and things that don’t matter
Which Donnie’s campaign will throw at her.

Look Around…!

Perhaps it’s because of my middle age
That the last thing I want is to engage
Nonstop with screens of any size.
Or maybe it’s because life’s real prize
Is not biased news or a celebrity hook up,
But embracing the world when you look up.

Well played, Governor!

Mike DeWine is in the GOP
And is as thoughtful a person as can be.
That observation should suffice
To make me think he’d pay a price
If he met with Donnie – but what to do?
A positive test to the rescue!

Sweet!

Donnie had a confession to make
Straight from him, not news that’s fake.
He has many enemies, some very rich
Forcing him to make a plan which
Won’t let us see him for a while!
Finally some news to make you smile…

What is it with the holier than thou,

That they can’t keep a marriage vow?

I wonder just how different it will be

When students show up at their university.

The kids I know will be living at school

Which with a little luck will all be cool.

But most of their classes will be online.

So no excuses to cut, which suits me fine.

More Good News!

As if we needed something more
To take us to the brink of war
The Saudis are building nuclear arms
Using China’s technology charms.
It kind of seems like we’re headed
Towards a place to be dreaded.

The More Things Change…

It’s kind of curious what people will do

When trying to fight the spread of the flu.

No doubt information is all over the place

But why do we resist covering our face?

It seems the most logical and easiest of all

But even last century it created a squall.

The Things It Takes

Credit card debt is of the worst kind

And the first to put you in a real bind.

At least with some loans there’s something to show,

A house or a car for the money you owe.

So has the pandemic played a helpful role?

Or has credit card debt been replaced by the dole?

Opening schools is a complicated matter

With plenty of perils served up on a platter.

It’s not hard to see the challenges presented,

To think it’s simple would be demented.

But voting, however, is clearly a threat!

A lefty plot to aid and abet…
