How about some reflection?

If all the force is so strongly opposed

To this verdict that has been imposed

Then it’s important that we take a walk

In the shoes of police and hear the talk

To understand the true work it must take

And maybe give these cops a break.

Lucky or chosen?

Hard to imagine something more scary

Than freefalling two miles… yeah, that’s hairy.

Down through the sky she plummeted to earth

While branches of trees made a landing berth.

What could you think after such an event…?

Time to ponder what your life really meant.

Agreed

New York is back in almost every way

With one key exception, I have to say…

No one is back in the office quite yet!

Sure the bars are full, on that you can bet.

But working, meh, folks are staying at home,

Putting off their return to the Thunder Dome!

And then there’s this

Some scientists in China now believe,

Or at least would like the world to perceive,

That covid started in a US lab.

I mean, why not? They’ll give it a stab…

No doubt there’ll be takers of the tall tale

Conspiracy theorists, off the rail.

Ferry Tale

This seems so cool and that it must be done

Whisking across the Channel, having fun.

Probably great when conditions are calm…

But good luck when hit by a weather bomb!

This scheme will be revised time and again,

Here’s to the best laid plans of mice and men.

Cyber Holocaust

It’s amazing to consider what’s going down

And the whole new threat that’s come to town.

No one would have thought a generation ago

That even as nuclear arsenals grow

Worse weapons still lurk in man’s evil mind

Just a matter of time before they’re designed.

Fowl Play

Turns out these birds can be pretty clever.

Call someone a bird brain? Yeah, whatever.

They follow the seed with a cunning eye

And are loathe to let anything slip them by.

Add to that their ability for flight

And I’d say this crew has gotten it right.

All quiet on the covid front

It’s like being killed after armistice…

These poor victims who simply just missed this.

It’s not that it’s any less bad for those

Who died early on, no oxygen hose.

Or anyone we lost along the way…

But with the end so near, a bitter day.

Awake, not woke

I try to keep things both balanced and fair
Because too much bias is in the air.
So it’s easy to come out strong on this
Because this “viewpoint” is a massive miss!
It’s not a smear campaign in the slightest
Her lawyers said it, she’s not the brightest.

Just when you thought the world was coming back
And the problems we’ve faced are going slack
Then BAM! whadya know, another is here!
Tourists dressing as dicks and drinking beer…
I swear the Dutch are just so frickin’ weird
Of all they let happen, THIS one they feared?!
