Real Patriotism

The pseudo militia and camo gear

That some protesters like to display here

Ring hollow and fake whenever they’re seen

And generally show folks who want to preen.

In Ukraine real heroes are headed East

To take up arms against the Russian Beast.

Leadership

The Battle for Kyiv is howling now,

And its defense is bolstered by this vow.

Zelensky is showing what leaders do

To motivate people and help them through

The most tragic events they’ll ever know

Fighting the Russians, and impending woe.

Disgrace

Gaslighting good folks for personal gain,

It’s truly destructive, this mad campaign.

Based on the notion there was voter fraud –

Which is a notion that is deeply flawed –

It apologizes for sedition

Then it goes full crazy in addition…

Respect

It is their job to defend their nation

But even still, at the battle station

It’s so inspiring to see them fight

With no potential for winning in sight.

These soldiers died while keeping their word

And should be honored for flipping the bird.

And so it begins

He assembled troops all around Ukraine

While we wondered what he stood to gain.

Vladimir kept his cards close to his chest

With blatant lies, his poker face is best.

And now he has launched an unholy war

If only to let the Russian bear roar.

Truly Horrible

J.D. Vance once wrote a terrific book

It’s totally worth giving it a look.

And then he chose to run for the Senate…

Embracing the worst of the Trump tenet.

No, the General was not very polite,

But J.D. sold out, and Barry was right.

She’ll fit right in

Parents misbehave at a kids’ overnight…

It’s part of the process of bad oversight.

Normally an apology will do

Just saying a heartfelt “sorry” or two.

Or, you can say you totally blacked out!

She’ll do great in Congress, I have no doubt.

Hal, is that you?

It’s such a strange notion this AI thing,

Since we all have hopes that what it will bring

Is a better world with life much improved

And hurdles to happiness all removed.

Instead, it seems, we’re still in the same boat

Either man or machine will cut our throat…!

Hang in there, Lizzie!

The word “corona” refers to a crown

So it’s no wonder the Queen has gone down…

But she is a monarch unlike many

Sitting on the throne longer than any,

And I certainly pray and hold out hope

That covid won’t be the end of her rope.

Squatters’ rights… or wrongs?

Whatever happened to things being fair?

For sure I believe that people should share,

But this concept here is akin to theft

And exposes the worst of the far left.

My heart goes out to all people in need…

But who gives them help should not be decreed.
