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…

Not for long

Needless to say, who knows what will happen…

Regarding Trump’s brain, it’s hard to tap in.

So this news is great, yes what a relief!

Donnie on Twitter brings nothing but grief.

But I wouldn’t let yourself be too thrilled

Since Truth Social is now gonna be killed…

Macron in the Middle

Score one for the centrists over in France,
They have given the world a fighting chance.
Defeat of Le Pen and the far, far right
Will help to prevent a very dark night.
Extremes have their place when little matters
But when it counts they leave things in tatters.

Merriam Madness

Needless to say this is just appalling…
And yet, when words are core to your calling
There’s a certain thrill to seeing someone
Be so passionate that he’ll get a gun
To force the change of a definition!
I guess language too packs ammunition.

Go Madison!

“Proverbs and pushups” is how he was raised.
Which just might account for why he’s not fazed
About the latest scandal that’s brewing,
Which you would think could be his undoing,
But when he said “pushups” he had in mind
Apparently those of a different kind…

Pledge allegiance to himself

As with everything, question the sources…

You’ll find in this case the truth of course is

Not far from what we see reported here

Since McConnell’s own speech made the point clear.

Out in public he said Trump was so wrong,

Then he sold us all out and went along…

Can’t feel the pulse

The government’s job is not to pander

It’s to do what’s best, as a commander.

But heaven help us with this current crew!

I fear Joe and his team don’t have a clue

About the dynamic with real people

And can’t seem to come down from their steeple.

Where Evil lurks

No one should throw these terms around loosely

Reserve them for when you feel profusely

As I do now about this Alex Jones

A despicable creature who still owns

Infowars and websites to make noise in,

Profiting from ugly, hateful poison.

Balance

America needs a strong center-right

If we want our future hopeful and bright.

It has to offset the far-left extreme

And be much more than Fox News makes it seem.

Those who claim love for the Constitution

Should have respect for our two-party solution.

Easter Egg… hunt?!

Delayed gratification? Nope not here!

Just scoop ‘em all up and watch parents cheer.

It goes along with all the coddling

As if there’s no end to the swaddling.

Kids now grow up thinking life is easy

Heads in the clouds, it’s carefree and breezy…

Ok, NOW it’s serious!

Ubiquity makes it invisible
And plastic is highly divisible.
Its microbes turn up almost everywhere
Yet so very few people seem to care.
But we really need to give it a think…
Now that it’s even in the beer we drink!
