Why

If you don’t bother to take the time,
To express your thoughts in rhyme,
The chances are awfully good,
You’ve not thought as much as you should.
Rhymes are fun and set the stage right,
Like lovers undressing before a fight…

Annoying, yes, but…

“No one NEEDS that much money!” said my Mom.

For whom wealth was distant and caused a qualm.

But don’t let the money get in your head

Focus on the innovation instead.

No one is perfect, of that we’re all sure

But canceling super-wealth is no cure.

Burying the lead

The headline is true but misses the point

Barr ALSO said Trump could go to the Joint

If in fact he did what he seems to have done

And taken these docs when he was on the run

Clearing out of the White House, in a hurry

After his failed coup forced him to scurry.

Around and around

Once in a while you know how they feel,

When life can just seem like an endless wheel.

You plod along doing the best you can

And then next thing you know, oh man oh man

You’re back where you started, nothing has changed…

And everything feels just a bit deranged.

Twitter me this…

I guess that’s the thing about throwing rocks

S#!t’s gonna break, it’s the School of Hard Knocks.

Elon’s for sure innovative as hell

But about his style? Doesn’t sit well.

Maybe aim before pulling the trigger?

Cuz it sure seems all his problems got bigger.

Nancy passes the Torch

What can we say about the House Speaker?

Some may argue she made us all weaker

With partisan lines that she drew in blood

And attacking the right like a hot SCUD.

But she’s a patriot, of that I’m sure

If maybe not always very demure…

Rats and the sinking ship?

I still won’t rule out a Trump victory parade

But some of these cuts need a good Band Aid.

Ivanka bowed out – still loves her daddy…

But can’t let the Kushners be his caddie.

Then the Scum of the Swamp strikes a low blow!

Matt Gaetz of all people is a no show…

More hope…?

Tonight, as promised, we’re supposed to hear

Trump’s “Big Announcement,” but it’s just not clear

What he’s announcing or what he’ll do…

Ha ha! Yeah right! Like we don’t have a clue.

But perhaps there’s more hope growing out there

That the GOP may have a new heir.

Friend of the Devil

Well finally he has something smart to say…

Yes, Josh Hawley, from Insurrection Day!

There’re few things in life about which I’m sure

But I have to believe this will endure:

Until he escapes his Satanic curse

Whatever he’s thinking will be much worse.

So these coeds and nuns…

I mean, how long before it’s a show?

Hollywood is drooling… greenlight, let’s go!

What sort of tension and colorful fun

Could unravel with coeds and a nun?!

And great stories told too, that may impart

Some thoughtful lessons to tug at the heart.

The Digital Departed

This isn’t as wacky as it appears
And does not prey on vulnerable fears.
Instead it creates new memories for all
Not some Ouija Board seance to hear the dead’s call.
If videos and photos help you grieve
Then AI can help heal when loved ones leave.
