Growing up in New York, I’d see him in town
The things he’d say made him seem like a clown.
Usually funny when not mean in spirit
He always self-inflated his merit.
It’s a tough town where it’s hard to make it…
And everyone knew he had to fake it.
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…
Growing up in New York, I’d see him in town

Amidst all the health crises that we’ve had
I hadn’t given much thought to how bad
Certain diseases were still on the go
Especially those, that, well, you know…
Require a bit of getting around!
How does that happen during lockdown?!

People do things for the strangest reasons
Especially in college football seasons.
But this one is really kind of bizarre
Given what this guy’s daily tasks are…
We have to hope it was not appetite
That made this vegan champ take such a bite.

The premise proposed is that it’s not fair
That boys and girls are not allowed to share
The same playing fields and access to sports
Resulting in problems of countless sorts…!
In fact if this thought was put in effect
Sports for women would be totally wrecked.

Well at least they all are being sincere
And tell us upfront they will not adhere
To democracy and the rule of law
Because, you know, if you make a loud squaw
Chances are good you can convince enough
Folks to believe that you’re both right and tough.

When relationships rest on dependence
It’s important that those in attendance
Hold up their end of whatever’s the deal.
Not doing so is like being an eel.
Especially when it comes to a hound!
Here the roommate should be sent to the pound.

Just as we start to head towards recession
We get bad news of further oppression.
When times get tough we all need an escape
And sometimes that’s found in the wheat or grape.
If our beer supply starts getting too strained
I’m not sure how order will be maintained!

I’ve said it before and it’s here again…
I believe that the motives of the men
Making these plans are highly suspect
But distributing migrants? That’s correct.
Political theatre plays a big role
And the nastiness does harm to the soul.

There are many lessons coming from this
And at least two that you shouldn’t miss…
First, really good news is under-reported,
Making our world seem grossly distorted.
Second, the bill that made this come to pass
Came from compromise, not being an ass.

It’s a quest that so many undertake
Never to be the feature of a wake…
But life ever after could be a drag
Unless you are youthful (and can still shag)!
And it definitely wouldn’t be much fun
If you were a jellyfish for the long run.
