The First Insurrection

We’ve heard a lot about this amendment

And it’s created lots of resentment.

But wow is it cool to learn of its roots

As things got hot in the North-South disputes.

This guy was the lame duck Sec of Defense

And sent arms to the South before war could commence.

Uh, Declining Deliveries?

Packages packages… They’re everywhere!

People order online without a care.

One item, two items… just ship it please

Things are delivered with the greatest of ease.

So how could it be, business declining?

Seems like excuses and lots of whining.

Anti-Hero

An endorsement from Taylor just seems right

Since it would capture our national plight.

Taylor is terrific, a real treasure

But she’s tormented by any measure…

Things are pretty good, the country is strong

But everyone thinks that everything’s wrong.

Still Searching

To put it in context of present day

You should think of the story in this way:

Imagine if suddenly Taylor Swift.

En route to a concert by an airlift,

Disappeared from the planet, into thin air!

You can bet tons of people would still care…

Those Little Rascals

There’s something about this that makes me pause…
Might there be some incentives that would cause
A person to push those who earn a wage
Towards working real hard deep into old age?
Who stands to gain from you working the grids?
I bet this piece was written by kids!

This IS America

Trump rarely mutters, it’s just not his style.

But it happens every once in a while.

After he left the court the other day

He had things on his mind, and what did he say?

“This is not America” softly passed his lips

But he uses lawsuits like poker chips.

Another One Bites the Dust

The Boeing Max helped tarnish a great brand

What was America’s best, at its last stand.

Harvard is the same for education…

It was once the best in all the nation.

But sadly things are not the same today

It really seems to have lost its way.

Open New Doors

This winter we moved to a new location
Pretty much in the heart of Trump Nation.
We have great friends, though they don’t share our view
Even when we go out and have had a few…

But food, fun and wine reduce the uproar

And the best place for that is The Blue Door!

Social Media Maze

How big a difference between mice and men?

We both seek the cheese, again and again.

But we also do some things that surprise

As we search and search for all of life’s highs.

Mice, like we, enjoy some self-promo!

I wonder if they also get FOMO…?

Ok, Sometimes Back Down

His Super PAC’s name was Never Back Down

Which let’s face it makes him look like a clown…

But his campaign never got any traction

As he went all in with the anti-woke faction.

So did the voters want a bit more meat?

Or is anyone other than Trump obsolete?
