Fine, So I Lie

To lie on the floor is totally great!

I do it a lot to set myself straight.

It’s good for the back and also the mind

And I always just love to be reclined.

But you have to be careful, when and where.

Like in public places? Well, people stare…

Heil Hochul…?

Imagine, if you will, this order came

Not from Hochul, but from the very same

Former president, feared a dictator,

By most on the Left who think he’s a hater.

Troops on the train?! Outrage would be soaring!

But from a lefty gov? Meh, it’s boring…

Like a Moron

Madonna was awesome back in the day

But like many celebs she’s lost her way.

Why demand that people stand for her show?

Why be that controlling? Just let it go…

So I’m glad she made this thoughtless mistake

Maybe her self-obsession will break.

Kinda Like…

Washington these days seems like a show town

Few folks are serious, most play around

Chasing sex, cash and power they all do it

While we the people sleep right through it.

The moment will come when our nation falls

Like a scorpion biting us on the balls…

And Thank God

For Anti-Trumpers it’s news that they need

But MAGA as well should also take heed.

The world’s not as bad as Trump said it would be

After Biden won the presidency.

And despite his nonsense and crazy threats

We did survive Trump, though with many regrets.

No Freedom to Think

Totally detached from most real people

In some ivory tower or steeple

Filled with profs and kids so far on the left

But funded by riches from right wing heft

Elite universities will explode…

Without change they’ll end up in the commode.

When I Grow Up I Wanna Be…

When it comes to aspirational goals

And thinking about what’s good for our souls

Mid-level management just leaps to mind!

The great panacea for all mankind…

Now this noble crew feels caught in a vise.

Yes, trouble is brewing in Paradise…

Lone (but BIG) Star State

Texas is known for always going big

From the cattle’s horn to the oil rig.

It’s a bit of a myth, like so much there.

(Except for their ego… and ladies’ hair!)

But good fun to visit and see the sights,

And try to avoid political fights…

A Gust of Fresh Air

Sailing has often been misunderstood

And puts forth an image that’s just not good.

But whoa what’s this?! A brand new skipper

And man is she making the sport a lot hipper!

With cameras rolling and no other crewman

She’s a great sailor and shows she’s human.

Unnatural Order

It falls outside of the Circle of Life

And slices your heart as if with a knife.

Losing a child makes the world all wrong

And parents may struggle to get along.

Finding a way to move forward at all

Shows incredible strength when most would fall.
