The ECA is in fact a real law

And is what Trump grasped for as his last straw.

It’s a messy piece of legislation

That could very well destroy our nation.

Both sides of the aisle should make darn sure

That all the flaws in this law get a cure.

He is among the greatest of his time
And the world lost him just after his prime.
I saw him in concert back in ‘83
So alive and vibrant and singing free.
He remained so unique and had great range,
His work is worth this much and ch-change.

Controversy is here in college sports

In pools and on fields and basketball courts.

On what team should transgender people play?

What’s fair to whom at the end of the day?

This young lady deserves to be who she wants

But cisgender concerns need a response.

Folks these days are flying off the handle
With patience as fragile as a candle.
I wonder if really for most of them
Covid is actually a brilliant gem.
Already prone to be difficult pricks
They let the virus enable their kicks.

One thing we know is that it goes very fast

You hold onto a moment and then it’s past.

That baby you held with a midnight bottle

Grew up in a second, going full throttle.

And then there’s those dreams you’ve kept at bay…

Don’t wait any longer, today is the day.

A lot sure happened in 2021

But there’s also a lot that did not get done.

Politics, say, was supposed to go normal…

The Redskins’ name change was meant to be formal…

Interest rates were going to creep higher…

And the general mood is that things are still dire.

So much is going on as the year ends!

Ghislaine and covid and Madden and friends…

But this quirky bit I could not resist

The “live mic” lesson is once again missed.

Oh, tech is complex, and it is scary!

Beware your car’s evil Bluetooth Fairy…

Whether or not you agree with his views

I’m not sure this news should give you the blues.

First, he has served now for fifty-five years…

One year in DC would have me in tears.

Next let’s remember the guy’s 81!

Retirement years? Maybe close to none.

Everyone has heard of the Runner’s High
But this little gem just mustn’t slip by.
Terrific new data on exercise
Further proof it makes you healthy and wise.
The more that you run the more that you drink!
And I’ve done nineteen marathons, I think…

If you want to know why many folks think
CDC guidance just really does stink
Here is a great example for review!
Cases are surging so what does it do?
It relaxes rules previously set
Which makes sense to no one you’ve ever met.
