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…

Uh, Team Normal?!

Normal takes on a brand new perspective

When you think about just how defective

Were these senior advisors to the Pres

Who had spent years hearing the things he says

Yet still believed in some strange dimension

Trump would accept defeat without tension.

Yeah, so what?

Bill Barr says that Trump was a bit detached

From reality, in a way unmatched

By anything that he had seen before

From this hot mess of a pussing sore.

You’d think Bill could have been just a bit stronger

Protecting us from that power monger.

Ultimate Business Trip

It’s not the news you might really expect

To come from a boss who wants to connect

All employees together in a trance

And perhaps get them doing a “profits dance…”

But whoa there it is, the modern approach…

Way better than hiring a management coach!

Tearing Temper

Impetuous and dismissive of rules

He tore up papers and left little jewels

Of history and evidence that might be

Useful in court if we’re ever to see

This reckless and selfish big narcissist

Be held to account for his ugly tryst.

Truth Nor Consequences

It’s hard to accept how true this appears.

He’s led his life with accounts in arrears.

Bankruptcies and bone spurs have bailed him out

While his default response is just to shout

At all the losers he thinks did him bad…

When in fact the problem is that he’s sad.

Gas Tax

Sometimes taxes are used to change behavior
But rarely do they become any savior
Especially when there is simply no way
For any change to happen on any day.
The cattle and sheep are not going to stop,
So this tax really seems a bit over the top.

A Sorry Threshold

Desantis should take whatever he can
Since he clearly wants to become The Man.
But it’s not clear to me that this benchmark
Is a moment of pride or a stenchmark.
“Better than Trump” is a pretty low line
And so far there are none who have any spine.

Teach a Lesson

Sedition is a most serious crime
And in the past was punished not with time
But with the hangman who’d want to make sure
That the punishment was part of the cure
To prevent all others from thinking “Sweet!
I’ll start an insurrection with a Tweet.”

Get Butts Moving

Amid the sea of news that’s depressing
Comes this true gem we can’t be suppressing.
A treatment for cancer with great effect
One hundred percent! Yes that is correct.
Let’s get research going and kill this beast,

With increased testing at the very least.

Ha ha!

This one is funny if you know the drill…

Since the folks at Goldman go for the kill.

Unlimited vacation sure sounds nice!

So long as you’re willing to pay the price.

It’s also a fact that bankers these days

Can never escape their work-life malaise.
