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…

Conservative Family Values

He is one of MAGA’s most well-known guys

And has led a life full of lows and highs.

Fiercely promoting his views from the right

He held up his marriage as the great height

Of commitment to family… He’s in touch!

Well, as it turns out, maybe not so much…

War and Peace

It’s an inspiring story from the war

That raises questions of the human core.

You’re tempted to succumb to the notion

That war is an unneeded commotion.

That may well have been true for World War One

But sometimes it’s all that will stop a Hun.

Then there’s that

In much the same vein as “let them eat cake”

The champagne shortage is such a headache!

It’s good to know that the very wealthy

Are able to stay both drunk and healthy.

The rest of us can at least enjoy one…

Even cheap booze will get the job done.

Then again…

I had thought there was nothing worse than Trump

But now in my throat I’m feeling a lump

As I consider the GOP field

And the candidates that it will yield

All in the context we can’t be hidin’

For many, it’s anyone but Biden…

Where credit is due

One of the biggest problems of the day

Is that politicians are unwilling to say

That someone has done a pretty good thing

If they sit on a different political wing.

His praise was not shouted out very loud…

But Biden said it, and we should be proud.

No room for error

Today is the shortest day of the year

And is certainly one that I hold dear.

From this point on things start to get brighter

As the days become lighter and lighter.

Meanwhile now we must be on our game!

The day is short, but the workload the same.

Build Back Later

If he’s really looking for someone to blame

Biden needs only to play the mirror game.

He was elected because he’s not Trump

And because Sanders is kind of a chump.

People just wanted the chaos to end

Not build the government to spend spend spend.

This is serious

When you think about those funny places

Where people always have smiley faces

And laugh and laugh to their heart’s content

Knowing that all their time is well spent

North Korea leaps both front and center…!

Except when they mourn their leader’s mentor.

Our lives now

I have to believe for the next ten years

We’re just not going to be changing gears.

Covid and variants are here to stay

And we’ll have to adapt for work and play.

We simply cannot hit “cancel” each time

The number of cases goes on a climb.

For now…

I still don’t know how these guys sleep at night

Or how they slither their way out of sight

When they change position time and again

With no consequence for what they said “then.”

Mitch loudly decried the Jan 6 commission

So I bet he knows they’ve found some munition.
