There is the temptation to ask “For what?”

Especially since victory was not clear-cut.

So many lives lost, so many dollars spent

And little to show for where it all went.

Imagine being this last soldier there…

With all that emptiness in the air.

Philosophers come in all shapes and sizes

Delivering wisdom and little prizes.

So why not find them on sweatshirts too?

In all different sizes and the color blue…

These sure are words that I see myself saying

Likely right after some intense praying…

I don’t mean to be in the least unkind

But need to ask, “Are you out of your mind?”

Of course it’s not even close to okay

For roommates to eavesdrop in any way!

You might need fewer therapy sessions

If people like this stopped their transgressions.

I’m no expert on domestic abuse

But this smacks to me of being a ruse.

The crime allegedly committed here

Was defrauding investors, let’s be clear.

She lied about what her product could do!

And now just continues to be a shrew…

At These Times Need Rhymes things are pretty light

But when I err, I want to make it right.

I noted the Afghan army’s collapse

And blamed the soldiers for a courage lapse.

But that neglected all the bad forces

Which left them stranded with no resources…

When it comes to making vacation last

And you’re wanting to have a total blast

One of the things Americans must do

Is kind of unique but important too

And that is in fact to TAKE A VACATION!

Like folks do in every other nation…

Girl, how can you even ask that question?

But I think I have a good suggestion:

Get the f@#k out of life with this loser!

He’s out for himself, clearly a user.

Truly no guy would behave in this kind

Unless he had other thoughts on his mind…

Imagine where we could be as a nation

If the same focus and concentration

That parents are giving to the mask fight

Were focused instead on learning to write?

Or if they threw punches because they’re mad

That their children can’t read, subtract or add…

Coming as a surprise to nobody

Gen Z is cementing something shoddy.

With all the screens and social media

And never knowing an encyclopedia

This generation has been led astray

And the whole world is going to pay.

Let’s see if we can understand the thought…

The vaccine is dangerous and is fraught

With all sorts of evils that may kill you

And government microchips that’ll fill you

With radiation and trackers that aren’t benign

But taking cow medicine? That’s fine, just fine.
