Oh how cruel the weary world can be

When even a little ghost can see

The Grinch of Halloween rearing its head

And spreading its special form of dread.

“No costumes for you!” it yelled with great pride,

And then we watched as the Supply Chain died.

You have to admit it’s an interesting stat…

And yes there are holes right off the bat.

But even controlling for self-selection

This data provides quite the complexion.

Perhaps some good can emerge from it all

If the vax also helps health overall.

I don’t know why we’d take this position

Since it seems contrary to the mission.

The threat of attack is a deterrent

And the threats against us are recurrent.

Why limit the options on the table

When so much of the world is so unstable?

Where is the leadership that was promised

From the candidate who was the calmest?

Joe’s years in the Senate and as VP

Were meant to offset his rep as “sleepy…”

But damn this boat is without a rudder!

And it makes this centrist poet shudder.

Perhaps there’s no way to get around cheating
And listening to both the rich and poor’s bleating.
But it does seem to me things are unfair
And taxing the rich does not make it square.
Why shouldn’t we all pay the same tax rate,
A flat tax with no holes for a rebate?

I believe in the value of fair trade

And doing what you want with money made.

Giving thanks is a part of the puzzle

And helps to avoid any kerfussle.

It also does more than signal “amen”…

It will attract great workers to you again.

The evil of Facebook gives no relief,

It’s about appearances not belief.

From people posting about their swell life

Causing FOMO and emotional strife

To its execs who care much more about

Seeming moral but not acting it out.

Think back… “There are good people on both sides.”

Words from a President will serve as guides.

And once reinforced by the self-serving press,

Well, it’s no wonder that things are a mess.

This congressman, who’s not far to the Left,

Gets vitriol and threats of massive heft.

“Unreal” is exactly the word for it!

There’s a fact out there, you can’t ignore it…

These guys are CHEATERS and caught redhanded

Even they themselves are pretty candid.

Yet they play on with no conequences.

It truly defies all moral senses.

It’s hard to listen to crazy shrieking,

Or any nutcase when one is speaking,

Espousing views contrary to your own

So I get why the far right will just groan

About global warming and its mention.

But on THIS topic they’ll pay attention…
