Football analogies are often used

(And even more often they are abused)

To help explain complicated matters –

Say, democracy going to tatters.

So as we face the destruction of norms

A good defense may help us through the storms.

A bit of a bummer when your wife claims

That you as a man have gone down in flames.

But you did snoop into her private text

So maybe you should think about what’s next.

There’s also the chance you could survive it…

Since at least she said these things in private!

Inspiration comes from many places.

It used to be from athletic faces,

But recently that has become less so…

Until we heard from Antetokounmpo!

Thoughtful and honest from the heart and brain

All who listen will have something to gain.

All’s well that ends well, as the saying goes

And why exactly he’s gone, no one knows.

But there was surely enough seen on air

To fire this guy and it would seem fair.

Instead we learn that perhaps his affront

Was that he chose to call someone a… pain.

I truly hope this man will rest in peace

Since that’s what he gave us with every release.

His music was joyful and made me smile

And Harry had impeccable style.

All the more awesome given in his life

He also fought hard against racial strife.

Rumors are swirling! He never said “Bye…”

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy!

Who would have thought Fox would end up like me…

Unable to stand his hypocrisy.

He sold out America and his fans

Purely to advance his financial plans.

It’s a bellicose world, that much is sure

And while it’s true that war’s not the cure

It IS important that we are well-armed.

So why do these numbers make me alarmed?

Because so many still like to question

If we’re committed to fight aggression.

It all keeps getting better and better

As we become the new pacesetter

For seeing how soft a nation can be

While assuming success is our destiny.

Bare Minimum Monday? Is this for real?!

Why show up at all? That’s a better deal…

Truly, what is wrong with all these dumb folks

To let Trump always lock them up in yokes?

No one ever calls him out for his crap

And instead they drift right into his trap.

He can’t be beat by the “rise up aboves”

It’s a bare-knuckle fight so drop the gloves.

So Elon Musk has had quite a big week
And introduced new ways for us to speak.
No longer will anyone say explosion…
These colorful words seem less like an omen!
And though I don’t mind if he is set back
It turns out this rocket was right on track!
