It’s an emotional thing, when you sell
With no guaranty that it will go well.
People come traipsing through your home
Some are for real, and some just to roam.
Mostly though, they are all there to judge…
And about that price? They want you to budge.
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…
It’s an emotional thing, when you sell
With no guaranty that it will go well.
People come traipsing through your home
Some are for real, and some just to roam.
Mostly though, they are all there to judge…
And about that price? They want you to budge.

The years tick by but the memory’s raw.
So much has changed it’s a punch in the jaw.
Rudy back then was a terrific man…
Before becoming a lunacy fan.
But to the brave folks who gave up their lives
They are heroes always in the archives.

Ukraine is no longer fighting defense
And its effort and courage are immense.
It’s retaken land given up in the war
Something no one believed they could do before.
I hope their victories don’t inspire
Russians to come back with much more fire.

Condolences to Britain on this day
When they’ve lost a leader, but not their way.
Charles will have very large shoes to fill
As he tends to his people, and their will.
She was a keeper, that much is for sure
Let’s hope that her legacy will endure.

Steve Bannon is now charged again with fraud.
This guy is really quite horribly flawed!
The right will cry out that it never stops,
That the left is again just busting his chops.
And it truly might seem like overkill
Except he’s always got his snout in the swill.

Let’s start with some thoughts about this notion
That someone in Florida would have devotion
To commit to a life serving others
And setting aside all of their druthers…
Do such people exist in this hot state?
Cuz it seems to be a hotbed of hate.

Okay, sure, but how new could this be?
It’s not like always throughout history
Did all people wake up and say “Oh boy!
I’m off to work yet again, what a joy!”
Has “quiet quitting” not always been there?
Or now with a name does it have more share?

Abortion remains intensely complex
And it’s still unclear the total effects
Of the decision the Supreme Court made
To overturn the protections of Roe v Wade.
But if this trend holds and there’s a blue surge
A wee bit of irony would emerge…

I’m no economist but I don’t get
Why we believe a recession is set.
Unemployment is low, there’s cash on hand
Leftover from stimulus, high demand.
So why are there calls for a big downturn?
Is it just to sell news? I guess we’ll learn…

Is it all overblown, a sad witchhunt,
Or is all his nonsense a big storm front?
For sure he disdains standard rule of law
And his unbridled self-interest, we all saw.
He’s such a con artist with tons to hide
This investigation should be blown wide.
