Not to set off a big shrieking alarm

But man this could lead to some real bad harm.

The Emperor’s New Clothes has nothing on this

And the lessons are too profound to miss.

An actual traitor has got us fleeced

As he kills off foes and gets his palms greased.

I know the desire for a great lawn

Can make many folks get pretty far gone.

The sprinkling and clipping can drive you mad

And more often than not it’s done pretty bad.

So maybe this solves for all sorts of grief

And provides our thirsty planet relief.

People are tired, weary and quite bored

Dealing with covid and working toward

A normal life free of all the stresses

Possible due to vaccine successes.

But yes it’s still with us and it still blows.

That will be our life, it’s just how it goes.

The premise here is that we’re nowhere near

The type of situation that you’d fear

Would be important enough that you’d kill

Another human or you had the will

To give your own life in a sacred cause.

Even Ice T would more likely hit pause…

In the debate about government’s role

And what exactly should be its goal

It’s heartening to see some original thought…

With sin taxes waning Japan has caught

Onto an idea that just makes sense –

Encourage heavy drinking to commence!

This ruthless predator inspired fear

And swam the oceans without any peer.

Bigger and badder than anyone thought

The mega shark won every fight it fought.

But then the world changed and food supply shrank

And these cocky beasts shriveled up and sank.

In normal times I would’ve been appalled.

Liz Cheney for Pres? I’m not enthralled.

But now I yearn for “crazy that’s normal”

Far right is fine so long as there’s formal

Voting and process and commitment to

Supporting democracy, not a coup.

The Founding Fathers all had a vision:

A two party system without division.

They wanted different ideas in play

And so to move forward we’d find a way

To take the best of both and compromise…

Not mock and degrade and stigmatize.

Hilary Clinton likely broke the law

With her reckless servers, that we all saw.

She got off the hook, now the question is

Were her actions then, similar to his?

The possible difference is not in the act

But in the obstruction after the fact.

What a job it would be as Trump’s lawyer!

Defending the man who’s the destroyer

Of all the pillars that hold up our world

With fact and fiction crazily swirled.

Just say what you want, what does it matter!

His fans LOVE it that he’s the Mad Hatter…
