Maybe bring a vax too?

The threat we fear is that by some mistake

An alien virus gets its big break

And soars off the planet, since Mars is small,

Expanding its reach to a galactic mall.

That would be a bad day for us on Earth…

I’d think twice about giving bugs a berth.

Better late than never

Well this is surely too long in the making!

Bubba sure could have avoided some aching

Had he just met with Ruth before the day

He and Monica decided to stray.

Or perhaps it should have been years before

Since they say there were at least four more…

Wait, the stick… anything else?

Great, so now we learn our very best friends

May also suffer from memory bends.

Getting confused and walking into walls

And thinking the rugs are urinal stalls.

Ugh, what torture we’ll endure when our hound

No longer cares when we come around.

Not so bright

I can’t say that I’m a very big fan
Of this latest federal giveaway plan.
Debts are debts and they should not be absolved.
Nor is the actual problem resolved…
Moral hazard will now rule higher ed
Allowing them to charge MORE instead.

But why?

Too much of anything is never good

But it doesn’t always mean that you should

Throw it all away and change your style

Especially when it makes you smile.

These islands are fun and have a great rep!

Changing their brand is a useless schlep.

Weird, but still

For all the talk to follow the science

It sometimes seems there’s little compliance

From all the ideas and the theories

And it just adds to reasonable queries.

To me it falls into the bucket of life

So much is unknown why bother with strife?

Manipulative Mutts?

They’re so darned cute that it’s hard to believe
Those tears aren’t real whenever they perceive
That you’re coming home and gonna see them!
Sometimes they even hack up some phlegm….
It has to be real! That love is not fake…
And oh so what if it is, give them a break.

Adam Neumann, a man on a mission!
I’d love to hear tales he tells about fishin’…
The guy is just so loaded full of bull
It’s painful to watch what new stunt he’ll pull.
Yet more shocking to see support he’ll get
From all the VCs, who seem to forget.

Yes, lost its mind

Not to set off a big shrieking alarm

But man this could lead to some real bad harm.

The Emperor’s New Clothes has nothing on this

And the lessons are too profound to miss.

An actual traitor has got us fleeced

As he kills off foes and gets his palms greased.

Go Green

I know the desire for a great lawn

Can make many folks get pretty far gone.

The sprinkling and clipping can drive you mad

And more often than not it’s done pretty bad.

So maybe this solves for all sorts of grief

And provides our thirsty planet relief.
