Clash of the Titans

One team is drunk and the other is high

Seems like they’re giving it the high school try!

Of course they’re artists so they get a pass

And it’s not like they’re shooting a Master Class.

Team Drunk got the win, it was 5 to 4…

The Dead cover band distracted Team High more.

Bad News for the Orange Team

I’ve never really liked the Plea Deal vibe

Since it really seems not far from a bribe…

Get a light sentence and sing like a bird

To sell out your partners, give up your word.

But I couldn’t be happier that this guy

Is happy to make Donnie high and dry.

Best News In A While!

So I walk on the beach every morning

With my dogs along, and here’s a warning:

The amount of plastic waste that I see

Can only lead to a calamity.

If we’ve found some bugs that munch on this stuff?

Of those things we simply can’t have enough.

I’m Rich!

Well this sure has been a fun exercise…

Who knew my wealth grew to such a huge size?!

Simply by SAYING that I’m filthy rich

My home tripled in value… Take that bitch!

Or Not

There’s lots to unpack with this bit of news!

I bet there are many competing views.

Not sure I agree that men are ruined

By women who are part of your crew and

Know who you are, right down to the letter.

Who cares it’s AI so long as it’s better…?

Falling Down

It’s truly worth asking “What’s going on?”

When so many leaders seem so far gone.

Some say it’s the sign of a big decline

When mostly the elderly hold the line.

Society shows that it’s in decay

If geriatrics alone rule the day.

1000 Shades of Gray

Soundbites and laziness may be at fault

In our instant gratification vault.

Few people take the time to understand

The complex nuance most issues demand.

But we will not make the world just and right

Pretending everything is black and white.

The Right Thing

Humans are corrupt, they’re in both parties.

So enough is enough from biased smarties.

What I like to see, as in the case here,

Is Democrats being extremely clear –

If you do something wrong, you should be canned.

Not mindlessly taking a political stand.

That’s a Euphemism, Right?

Now it’s all about the Roman Empire!

For men the Romans were just on fire.

At least that’s what they say when they are asked

What’s on your mind, if not a sportscast?

Hard to believe we’re really that complex…

Most guys I know are just thinking of…

Not Going Walkabout

So the Sly Old Fox is now stepping down

But you can be sure he’ll still be around.

Since buying The Sun back in ‘69

He’s perfected the art of the headline

Mixing gossip, politics and scandals

He’ll remain one of media’s vandals.
