The Rabbit Hole

I suppose that’s one approach to the matter

But likely won’t stop how the Mad Hatter

Treats the world and all of its people

As congregants sitting below a steeple

There to do nothing but worship and fawn

Over his fragile ego and imaginary brawn.

Meaningless

That people out there pay attention to this

Is dangerous and dumb and surely does miss

The fact that it matters not in the least one bit –

The Electoral College is where you must be a hit.

It’s like a football team counting gained yards

While falling behind on the scorecards.

Let’s make a deal

While I rarely agree with Madame Speaker

She’s right that this debt could make us weaker.

But whoever has lent it will no doubt see

That when he leaves office, whenever it will be,

Donnie will build a conservative news empire,

And make piles of money as a new media liar.

A taxing situation

Donnie is pissed about the Times’ report

Because he believes it’s trying to distort

The amount of money he’s paid in taxes

And is lying about what the facts is…

He did not pay an amount that small –

Since only suckers pay anything at all!

Brutal

It’s not hard to understand this perspective

And to question whether lockdown is effective.

This man has a perfectly reasonable view

The pandemic is legit but it’s also true

That the carnage created by closing shop

Will force many businesses simply to stop.

Staying High

Honestly I can’t even say that I know for sure

Why this article has felt like such a cure!

Perhaps it’s just how preposterous the mix

Of this domestic doyenne and her CBD fix.

But mostly I’m impressed that despite it all

Martha keeps reinventing and standing tall.

But what does HE know…?

So it seems that the Director of the FBI

Is a bit more than skeptical and doesn’t buy

Donnie’s conviction that fake mail-in ballots

Will be shipped in bulk on shiny blue pallets

And steal the election from freedom’s protector!

But of course you can’t trust any Bureau director…

Really?

I grew up with Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben

And am hard-pressed to think of a time when

I saw those images and a thought came to mind

That was anything other than grateful and kind.

Is this really how we’re going to end racial strife…

Or is it possibly just taking yet another black life?

Bare-knuckled

In Florida past felons have the right to vote

Provided their crimes were of a lesser note

Than murder or rape (…so that stops almost all

Of those Mexicans who invaded before the wall!).

But I have to say it’s not such a good look

To try to win Florida by hook or by crook.

Two sides, same coin

It seems these days that everything’s a show

Politics, business and media are all in tow.

Narcissists reign, thinking only of themselves

Putting service and honor on the back shelves.

What both these men do is really quite plain:

Manipulate the public for personal gain.
