At least there’s that

Let’s say for a moment that this is true
And it changed relationships that were blue
And they blossomed into heavenly bliss
With love and attention sealed by a kiss.
Well then perhaps we’d be able to think
At least something from covid didn’t stink.

Grand Central Station

It couldn’t come a moment too soon

Because we’re headed to culture’s high noon.

The political center has all but collapsed

And it must be fixed before more time has elapsed.

All the emphasis on everything woke

Will make Democrats’ edge go up in smoke.

W-O-W

Kudos and congrats to this fine kid,

Who won her spelling bee championship bid!

And on top of that, we should all take note,

There is the chance, and it’s not remote,

That it won’t even be her biggest feat…

She holds three records as an athlete!

There’s a reason for that

The First Amendment is precious for sure

It takes many freedoms and makes them secure.

But the security that it provides

Prevents the government from taking sides.

People and companies are free to say

“Shut up you A-hole, you’re not okay!”

Hope

Among the most important forces
With often somewhat mysterious sources
Hope springs eternal with certain types
For whom it creates enabling pipes.
And dogs embrace it without exemption,
As if they’d seen The Shawshank Redemption.

Pigs next door

Pigs sure get a difficult rap

And it’s easy to fall into the trap

Of dismissing them and how they live…

But perhaps it’s time for us to forgive

Since pigs may be a bit messy and pink,

But it’s human neighbors who really stink.

Hot Dog!

They say everyone has a special skill

I’m not sure that that’s true, but even still

Joey Chestnut is for sure a master

And challenging him can lead to disaster…

He reigns supreme in his chosen domain

No one will defeat him without great pain.

Well Happy Birthday…!

Happy Birthday America, what a day

For hot dog contests and feeling gay!

We’ve done a whole lot, there’s still work to do

But I’ve got a feeling we’re pulling through.

Of course the media must still make a buck

So they’re gonna say everything will suck…

How hard can it be?

I suppose there are things you must unwind

And ways that you’ll find yourself in a bind

Like who’s going to take the dogs for a walk

At 10 am Tuesday, without a squawk?

So yes, going back to work may be tough…

But c’mon now, enough is enough!

Performance what?!

The dynamic young sprinter, in a bind

Discovers the world is not very kind…

She copes as she can and smokes some weed

It seems like that was a simple need.

The Olympic Committee disagrees…

Weed is performance enhancing?! Oh please…
