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…

Inflation takes its toll

We knew it would come sooner or later

And no help foreseen from our Creator…

The cost of all goods is getting so high

We must be creative just to get by.

Discount brands have made our path very clear

Tough times demand that we have smokes and beer!

See Josh Run!

Josh is among my least favorite of folks,

And now has become one of DC’s big jokes.

Oh he was so strong and such a leader!

His fist raised to support the rebel breeder.

But say, what’s this? When the mob reached the door?

He was the first to run from the Senate floor!

“Everyone else was”

So this guy’s wife had a sordid affair

And once discovered, vanished in thin air.

He was charged with murder, but it was dropped.

Then a much bigger charge couldn’t be stopped…

He filled out and mailed her absentee ballot!

Just one more swing of Trump’s MAGA mallet.

Should be fun!

Rarely do I hope that Mitch has it right

But man in this case I sure hope he might.

How great it would be to finally see

Some critics of Trump from the GOP!

The debates can’t be just an empty mess

Where everyone appears to acquiesce.

On any other planet

Larry Hogan was the pride of the state

With a 75% approval rate!

The red and the blue both loved him a lot

So how in heck did they get what they got?

GOP voters ignored his smart voice

And went with the loony QAnon choice…

Wouldn’t be the first time

We all know that he’s the true Teflon Don

Nothing sticks to him, no matter his con.

Some believe his first presidential run

Was only to escape some gangster’s gun.

His business practice and legal affairs

Have only put him back in the crosshairs.

Why, Growth?

At business school and throughout my career

All the pundits and finance guys would make clear

That growth is what the future’s about

But can we say that without a doubt?

Perhaps “sustainable” is more to the point

Or is this old dude just smoking a joint?

The Heat Is On

With mercury rising around the globe

Everyone everywhere begins to probe

The science behind the dior forecasts

And whether or not this bad heat wave lasts.

Even cold countries get in on the act

Acting as if Global Warming’s a fact…

Lying Liar

I’m friends with many who support this chump,

The guy who goes by the name, Donald Trump.

They’re smart and nice and I don’t understan’

How they let themselves get fooled by this man.

They think he agrees with what they condemn

But “Useful Idiots” is what he calls them!

Oh what a laugh!

Listen to Bannon as he makes the call

Describing Trump’s plan for stealing it all.

Listen to the joy and all the laughter

As they destroy our nation for ever after.

Listen with horror as they joke and clown

Just a light funny game to keep the crown.
