A lot sure happened in 2021

But there’s also a lot that did not get done.

Politics, say, was supposed to go normal…

The Redskins’ name change was meant to be formal…

Interest rates were going to creep higher…

And the general mood is that things are still dire.

So much is going on as the year ends!

Ghislaine and covid and Madden and friends…

But this quirky bit I could not resist

The “live mic” lesson is once again missed.

Oh, tech is complex, and it is scary!

Beware your car’s evil Bluetooth Fairy…

Whether or not you agree with his views

I’m not sure this news should give you the blues.

First, he has served now for fifty-five years…

One year in DC would have me in tears.

Next let’s remember the guy’s 81!

Retirement years? Maybe close to none.

Everyone has heard of the Runner’s High
But this little gem just mustn’t slip by.
Terrific new data on exercise
Further proof it makes you healthy and wise.
The more that you run the more that you drink!
And I’ve done nineteen marathons, I think…

If you want to know why many folks think
CDC guidance just really does stink
Here is a great example for review!
Cases are surging so what does it do?
It relaxes rules previously set
Which makes sense to no one you’ve ever met.

He is one of MAGA’s most well-known guys

And has led a life full of lows and highs.

Fiercely promoting his views from the right

He held up his marriage as the great height

Of commitment to family… He’s in touch!

Well, as it turns out, maybe not so much…

It’s an inspiring story from the war

That raises questions of the human core.

You’re tempted to succumb to the notion

That war is an unneeded commotion.

That may well have been true for World War One

But sometimes it’s all that will stop a Hun.

In much the same vein as “let them eat cake”

The champagne shortage is such a headache!

It’s good to know that the very wealthy

Are able to stay both drunk and healthy.

The rest of us can at least enjoy one…

Even cheap booze will get the job done.

I had thought there was nothing worse than Trump

But now in my throat I’m feeling a lump

As I consider the GOP field

And the candidates that it will yield

All in the context we can’t be hidin’

For many, it’s anyone but Biden…

One of the biggest problems of the day

Is that politicians are unwilling to say

That someone has done a pretty good thing

If they sit on a different political wing.

His praise was not shouted out very loud…

But Biden said it, and we should be proud.
