In Short, Hypocrisy

A gross understatement to say it irked

Watching the presidents as they all smirked,

Responding with smarmy little word bites

And talk of context and protecting rights.

No laws can be unevenly applied

And that’s where they failed and were left tongue-tied.

Deciding Morality with Polls

I don’t own a Tesla, never use X

And rarely do I want to put a hex

On any person out there doing stuff

To push innovation, but I’ve had enough.

Elon can suck it, he’s bad to the bones

I’ll never support him or Alex Jones.

Finally! VR for Mice

It’s good that scientists are so active

Building solutions very attractive

For solving the problems on planet Earth

With plans that are clearly of very high worth.

So call me old school and stuck in my ways…

But what about cheese and a really tough maze?!

Too Little, Too Late

We live in a nation where half of us

Believe that Trump was thrown under a bus

And that the election he clearly lost

Was stolen from him, and it has now cost

Massive damage to our national strength

At the hands of liars, now detailed in length.

Does Medicare Cover That?

When you get to the age of caring for

Parents who are losing the aging war

There’s a lot that happens you don’t expect

And you learn some things that make you reflect.

One thing you didn’t know would make you torn?

Um… how to afford all your mother’s porn!

It’s Not Funny

“Two Chinese feminists walk into a bar…”

Well that sounds like a joke that could go far.

But the truth is that this is going on

And comedy has become their baton.

Fighting oppression and taking a stand

Because in China folks like them are banned.

So What?

Moody’s has cut China’s credit rating

Which the Chinese might find aggravating.

But really who cares? It’s not our issue!

They can cry all they like, here’s a tissue…

Except that lack of credit makes things hard

And could lead to their use of the war card.

More Family Vlaues

They’re all for the family and anti-gay

These flag bearers for the GOP way.

He runs the Florida MAGA machine

She started Moms for Liberty, that’s her scene.

But that doesn’t stop them from sordid acts

With hookers and rough sex and maybe wax…

Flight Risk

In most all cases it’s not a good look

To go to work drunk or just having took

Drugs or anything that might impair

Your judgment or the amount that you care

About your job or make you act bipolar…

Especially if you’re an air traffic controller.

Tragic… but Surprising?

My heart goes out to his family and friends

There is truly no light when a life ends.

Perhaps the saddest piece of the puzzle…

He wrapped his own lips around the muzzle.

When your personal life is what you sell

It just very rarely ever ends well.
