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…

Is that necessary?

Though this news is awesome and makes me proud

I wonder if we want to be so loud…

Transparency is good in most affairs

But maybe not with military wares.

If we want to continue this success

We probably should publicize it less.

Lied to a woman? Brett?!

Susan is SHOCKED now that Brett has weighed in.
That’s not the sandbox he said he played in!
Who would have thought he might say to a dame
Something untrue or to make a false claim?!
Perhaps when they spoke his thoughts weren’t so clear…
Mighta been deep into a case of beer.

A little late for that, no?

With all due respect to folks in Beijing

Doesn’t it seem just a bit like they sing

An out of tune song with hardly a note

That wouldn’t get caught in a singer’s throat?

If they don’t mean to cause confrontation

What do they call invading a nation?

Party Animal

What is it about this hot southern state

That always serves crazy on a big plate?

As if the people weren’t whacky enough

Now the wildlife wants to strut its stuff…

Gators in garages drinking hot Cokes!

Don’t they know soda is bad for folks…?

Let’s go, Brandon!

With partisan politics in DC

It’s even more important that there be

Moments when we all can take a breather

And not let ourselves be offended, either.

Joe took the lead with joyful abandon,

Said he was glad for this guy named Brandon…!

Dating these days…

“Precocious billionaire” may just fit

And Elon can surely be a real…

But I have to say that this is funny!

For a guy who’s made just so much money

It’s fun to see that he has a light side

Even though it may be a bit snide.

Time and place, right?

It truly never ceases to amaze

That middle-aged men will still fix their gaze

On anything that can be deemed suspect,

Certainly those that can leave your life wrecked.

I’m not saying he shouldn’t have a glance…

But really? At work? I’m sorry, no chance.

Putin’s Peril

While it’s great to see his army struggle

And watch as he makes his generals juggle

Only to have them picked off in battle,

The larger problem? It has to rattle

This throwback despot who may then decide

That his nuclear option be applied.

Trumpet!

That name is so good, I have to admit.

And there is no doubt that it would befit

A platform built for Donnie and his crew

Which allows them to voice their point of view.

Elon is clever and with this he shows

His own flair and skill and yes, that Trump blows…

Bear with me

While I agree with him on some issues

Tucker is now holding on by tissues…

What a pathetic sellout to the crowd

That doesn’t care about thought, just what’s loud.

Testosterone decline? This is a fix?

How much is he paid to peddle these tricks…
