Broken Record

The first time you heard it it made some sense,

If you believed we had need for a fence.

His instincts were right and he won the race

The notes from his record built up his base.

But he needs a new sound to win once more

‘Cuz right now he’s become a whining bore.

Good Old Days?

So Trad Wives is a movement on Tik Tok

Which seems like it wants to turn back the clock

To a time when women stayed in the home,

And celebrated Stepford Wife syndrome.

Now these are the men who also look back

To simpler times, like a lumberjack.

Working Hard? Sucker…!

You work really hard and pay all your dues

Pull more than your weight, but don’t really schmooze.

Well good luck to you, you hardworking horse

‘Cuz you’re gonna get screwed, I mean of course!

How depressing it is to know the game…

Hard work doesn’t win, and that is a shame.

Infinity is Big

I can’t help but find that I am intrigued

And never come close to being fatigued

By news of aliens and their travels

As more unfolds and the plot unravels…

Given the size of our galactic space

No doubt there’s another sentient race.

Trusting Trump

It’s always been a true wonder to me

Why you would trust a moral amputee.

Every move he makes is fully designed

To enrich himself, leave valor behind.

So things we trust more should be catalogued…

Like flushing a toilet when it’s clogged.

Loathsome and Vile

Back to the basics for the Trump campaign!

Recall what he said about John McCain?

Let’s insult all veterans! Especially those

Who sacrificed more than anyone knows.

“Suckers and losers” is how he describes

Soldiers who gave this great country their lives.

Normal Women

There are so many things which make this odd

Perhaps one or two will pierce his façade.

It seems that his views are not just tone deaf

But he also believes that he’s the ref

Determining what “normal” women think…

There’s a pretty good chance he’s out of sync.

A Meaningful Indicator

They tend to see the glass always half full
But they’re also quick to spot any bull.
All together they hire by the hordes
And have among the fewest safety cords.
So I hope this is true and they speak out
To counter MAGA’s dystopian shout.

Salute Instead

Among the few things you’d think we could do

To bring some unity into our view

Honoring service is a no brainer

Yet it too falls prey to a campaigner.

No one should disparage or try to barnstorm

Any person who wore the uniform.

The Test of Time

The world has changed over all the eons

For both ruling classes and the peons.

Great things have happened, and awful ones too

But through all the years one thing remains true…

No matter in times of good or bad luck

People always think that our morals suck.
