Why we’re screwed

In this great piece Jonah lays it all out

And it’s pretty much how I think about

Our state of affairs and government scene

Disappointing indeed, almost obscene.

Without a party but firm in his views

His balanced approach will never make news…

Time flies… why wait?

I don’t have a problem with Elon Musk

But plenty believe the gathering dusk

Of society’s undoing can be traced

To the crazy ideas he’s embraced.

That crowd must be happy with this new plot…

Can’t wait for his stint as an astronaut.

Young Thug? In a GANG?!

It hardly seems possible this is news…

Is it really a wonder where he gets his cues?

Perhaps if his name was, like, Tinkerbell

We’d hear about this and huff and say “Well!”

But marketing is as marketing does,

Young Thug must be happy with all this buzz.

Rich Strike!

I’m always a sucker for beating the odds –

Underdogs determined to beat the gods.

This horse (and his team) are just out of sight!

He was so jacked up he wanted to bite

Anything which seemed to be in his way.

I sure hope there was nothing in his hay…

Double-edged sword

As with most things this has both ups and downs
Work from home causes both smiles and frowns.
I wouldn’t be quick to say it’s a perk
Though it’s nice to avoid the office jerk.
But working from anywhere soon becomes
Working from everywhere, beating the drums.

Clarity

It can take a pandemic to realize

Life is so short, a mere flash in the eyes.

There just isn’t time to waste on those folks

Who aren’t all that fun or don’t like your jokes.

No, our life is not a dress rehearsal

So make it all count, there’s no reversal.

Is that necessary?

Though this news is awesome and makes me proud

I wonder if we want to be so loud…

Transparency is good in most affairs

But maybe not with military wares.

If we want to continue this success

We probably should publicize it less.

Lied to a woman? Brett?!

Susan is SHOCKED now that Brett has weighed in.
That’s not the sandbox he said he played in!
Who would have thought he might say to a dame
Something untrue or to make a false claim?!
Perhaps when they spoke his thoughts weren’t so clear…
Mighta been deep into a case of beer.

A little late for that, no?

With all due respect to folks in Beijing

Doesn’t it seem just a bit like they sing

An out of tune song with hardly a note

That wouldn’t get caught in a singer’s throat?

If they don’t mean to cause confrontation

What do they call invading a nation?

Party Animal

What is it about this hot southern state

That always serves crazy on a big plate?

As if the people weren’t whacky enough

Now the wildlife wants to strut its stuff…

Gators in garages drinking hot Cokes!

Don’t they know soda is bad for folks…?
