You don’t come across this one every day…

It seems this bishop will no longer pray

And is leaving the church for a new life

With a Satanic author as his wife

Who specializes in erotic fare

Which can be quite the combo, if you dare.

We know that justice is meant to be blind

But probably not to be of this kind.

How hard can it be to know it’s not right

To drop the gavel in a legal fight

In which your own interests are on the line?

No, this sure does not make these judges shine.

You know it’s left and I think that it’s right,

I always see gray, and you black and white.

Yet in our own weird way we’ve made it work,

Our love affair is much more than a quirk.

Together, we never know what’s in store…

But I’m all in for 25 years more!!!

Forgive and forget, it’s a part of life.

But does it make sense in today’s bad strife?

Critical to the success of the phrase

Is in fact to forget, not use for new plays…

Seeing this man now walk out of jail free

May make some think about a shooting spree.

It’s hard to believe she’s in such a bind

Dealing with Trumpists who want to be blind.

Not to mention all of the GOP

Too scared to stand against this tyranny

Of a single guy, petulant and spoiled,

Leaving their legacies forever soiled.

The premise here is built on the notion
That in addition to a magic potion
And tissue replacement all around
And mechanical parts if they can be found
And uploading your brain to the Cloud,
What’s left of your life would still make you proud.

Here at These Times Need Rhymes the center rules.

And we have little patience for the fools

Who bark and squawk at both the far poles

With crazy theories and self-serving goals.

But on this topic it’s not fringe to say:

What Trump did is treason and he should pay.

So Michael Flynn is peddling a theory

Designed to make his followers leery

Of taking the covid vax for themselves

Believing in it as much as in elves.

But let’s say the mass vax plot is valid,

Would we really go at it using salad…?

A powerful image, that much is sure!

But perhaps it is the requisite cure.

Ending a pandemic is pretty tough

More so when there simply aren’t enough

People with sense, community-minded

And not politically blindsided.

Emergencies come in all sorts of forms

It’s hard to say what should define the norms.

But boy I know when people get tired

Professional help is often required.

And oy! The rellies with their urgency…

Yup, that’s another type of emergency!
