Why aren’t there more?

Yes the truth hurts but it can set you free.
It all depends on who you want to be.
If you’re insecure and out for yourself
You put national interests on the shelf
And promote more nonsense backing your greed.
Real leaders address what the people need.

It takes a pandemic…?

Of course it’s a privilege to have a choice

And few folks are able to heed the voice

That wants them to quit because of their boss

Who always sees lines and decides to cross…

So what a shame it takes a global plague

To stand up to abuse without being vague.

Oui oui, c’est vrai!

While Novak is held in quarantine

A new French player has come on the scene!

He is little known but is fully vaxxed

And Mon Dieu does he ever seem relaxed!

I like his chances at winning it all

The brash newcomer from the land of Gaul…

Pop goes the weasel

It’s painful to watch and it makes me cringe

Seeing Ted Cruz court the lunatic fringe.

I truly don’t know how he sleeps at night

Since he stands for nothing at all that’s right.

Whether or not you agree with his views

He’s a spineless sycophant of Fox News.

The Beagle Play

Omicron may be kind of a blessing

And could help us all begin addressing

The reality that covid’s here to stay

And we’ll have to live with it every day.

For those who are vaxxed it’s now just a pest.

We can let evolution do the rest.

Stop the Squeal

One year has passed but not much has changed.

Response to this treason is really deranged.

We can go back in time to find people to blame…

Sure, saying “deplorables” was truly a shame.

But there’s only one person who caused this wreck:

Yes, Donald J. Trump, that pain in the neck.

Hanging chads? Child’s play…

The ECA is in fact a real law

And is what Trump grasped for as his last straw.

It’s a messy piece of legislation

That could very well destroy our nation.

Both sides of the aisle should make darn sure

That all the flaws in this law get a cure.

Let’s Dance!

He is among the greatest of his time
And the world lost him just after his prime.
I saw him in concert back in ‘83
So alive and vibrant and singing free.
He remained so unique and had great range,
His work is worth this much and ch-change.

Friday Night Rights

Controversy is here in college sports

In pools and on fields and basketball courts.

On what team should transgender people play?

What’s fair to whom at the end of the day?

This young lady deserves to be who she wants

But cisgender concerns need a response.

Cause or cover?

Folks these days are flying off the handle
With patience as fragile as a candle.
I wonder if really for most of them
Covid is actually a brilliant gem.
Already prone to be difficult pricks
They let the virus enable their kicks.
