I support the right of women to choose

But this type of campaign can only lose.

It is not an issue that’s black or white

And neither side can claim to be right.

There’s no mention of it in the Gospel

And assumptions like this are just hostile.

Oh boy…

Is it time to ask here we go again?

With a virus jumping from animals to men?

In China, no less, where one has now died

But of course, who knows? They may have lied…

One thing is certain, this news is not sweet!

The world does not need a viral repeat.

You mean… just quit?!

Yeah, that seems like really awesome advice…

If you can’t take the heat, then don’t think twice

Just bail on it all, that’s what quitters do

And wallow in pity, feeling all blue…

The quitter class has now been anointed

Pessimists are never disappointed.

Even Native Americans came one day

Across some isthmus that gave them a way.

But it’s not sustainable anymore

To maintain a toll free open door.

Weathering Heights

Say what you will about Europeans

On climate issues they’re not plebeians.

Their leadership here is quite amazing

With bold new plans that are all trail blazing.

No kicking the can further down the road

They’re notching it up into Ludicrous Mode.

Words fall short

It’s an achievement that’s hard to believe

Human ingenuity, pulled from the sleeve.

What an awesome gift to be able to give

Expression of thought, much more life to live.

These fine doctors have changed the game

The future for humans is not the same.

Really?

It’s true that rules are made for a reason

And procedure is one of the keys in

Making new laws and governing the land

But fleeing the state is a silly stand…

All of the issues should be debated

Instead the State House has been vacated.

Swimmingly

While pools have created a different deal

It’s still a story with dramatic appeal…

One of two nations “double landlocked”

All of its neighbors are also blocked

But it’s got some swimmers, at least almost…
