We become dependent without knowing

How everything which seems easy going

Rests on top of some structure or grid

Built by a firm with the lowest bid…

So why the surprise when systems fail?

We’re a house of cards before a gale.

I don’t want to bash it, now it’s become

My home state, but Florida delivers some

Of the best stories and inspiration

When writing about a crazy nation.

Of all the things we get warned not to do…

Selfies with bears?! Seems people have no clue.

She’s got lots to learn, this new MAGA queen!

Like never admit you want to go green…

Or say that beef is anything but great…

If Texans are there say it’s all you ate!

And surely you’ll be considered a chump

If in any speech you don’t mention Trump…

It’s hardly news now when Rudy goes down

Since he truly became a full-blown clown.

From America’s Mayor at his best

To peddling crazy at Trump’s behest.

Oh, he went down hard that much is for sure

And with his type of fall there is no cure.

So yesterday I was out to complain

About the performance that caused such pain

‘Cuz the country needs some soothing tonic

At this moment when bad vibes are chronic.

Turns out the singer was thinking the same!

So turned to the bottle before the game…

When the national mood needs some good cheer

In what we know will be a long, hard year

And we turn to athletes and musicians

To give us a boost in tough conditions

They probably should simply play it straight

And not give us another thing to hate…

Of all of the things that they could oppose

It’s a wonder why they would thumb their nose

At only the issue of abortion

As if that’s the only big distortion

Of conservative doctrine shifting gears

In the GOP’s formative Trump years.

The Left and the Right will for sure disagree

About how our dysfunction came to be.

But whatever the cause both are to blame

For stoking it as a political game.

Thank God Trump survived this tragic event…

May it lead us towards healing our discontent.

Joe’s making a case that things are alright

No need that he slip off into the night.

But some of these gaffes, while pretty funny

Don’t point towards a future very sunny.

Maybe he holds on through the election,

But the years after that? Imperfection…

The headline we read sure makes it appear

That Labour is soft on crime, it’s so clear!

But dig in a bit and then what you learn

Is the Tories knew what a big concern

Prison overcrowding already posed

And this is in fact what they had proposed.
