Cause or Effect?

A Mercedes and Lexus parked in front

Yes the affluent are on the hunt

For discounts and deals, whatever it takes

To keep speeding ahead, no tapping the brakes.

Some will suggest that it’s how they got there

Penny pinching and cutting costs everywhere.

Titanic Tragedy Continues

As if the tragedy couldn’t get worse

More life may be lost, the Titanic curse.

God save these five souls, stuck in a barrel

Three miles down and in extreme peril.

They may not have very many hours

Let’s hope the rescuers have super powers.

As the World Spins

Once upon a time, it used to be true

No wars between countries would ever brew

If a MacDonald’s was in both of them

A signal of affluence, a real gem.

Saving prosperity was what mattered

But now that paradigm has been shattered.

Win Win

So if Joe were able to get this done –

A pardon for Trump, that’s number one,

Provided he never can run again

For any office at all, maybe then

Biden could also then step to the side

A job well done, he could leave with real pride.

Not That Complicated

Oh the things that scientists study

With all their tests and fuddy-duddy!

And “experts” advising on the side…

When offered a drink they surely abide.

Perhaps the reason we drink in the sun

Is simply that it’s a lot of fun!

And What Do You Do?

McKinsey predicts vast financial gains

Except for those jobs that require brains…

First manual labor was largely replaced

By humming machines that limited waste.

Now white collar jobs are gonna be axed!

You think McKinsey should seem so relaxed…?

Who’s the Dictator…?

The freely elected President of

The oldest democracy that we love

Has now been accused by our friends at Fox

Of being a dictatorial ox.

This irony is the richest we saw…

Since when do dictators uphold the law?!

The Bright Continent

With such a brutal history behind it

And foreign intrusions that defined it

This vast land has rarely built up traction

And is often accused of inaction.

Wouldn’t it be great if the green revolution

Made Africa the world’s best solution?

“He’s Toast”

I can’t say I was fond of AG Barr

But at least he says now Trump’s gone too far.

“If even half” of the charges are true

He thinks it will make Trump’s day pretty blue.

“Damning” and “shocking” are words that he used

Describing behavior that can’t be excused.

What If…?

Imagine if Tucker came to realize

A better path is there before his eyes…

What if he used his persuasive power

To lower the anger, erase his glower?

Well, it’s unlikely he’ll go out on that limb

There’s money in anger, it’s good for him.
