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…

Signal to Leave

How much more do we have to endure

Before things become really insecure?

This whole episode is very scary…

Anyone else in the military

Would be released of command on the spot

Lucky to get out without being shot.

In Real Life…?

So this is a story about a guy

Who found a really sweet house to buy

Back in the ‘70s on the East End

When prices were hard to comprehend.

But it shows how out of touch some folks are

Who say “we” now pay the same for a car…

Not So Cool After All

The bros helped the guy to get elected

So kudos to them if they’ve course-corrected.

I doubt they abandon Trump altogether

But it certainly will weaken the tether

That connects El Jefe with the masses

If these guys choose to cover their asses.

Escape Plan!

I mean, it takes a long time to get there

But it possibly has some breathable air.

Good to know there’s another location

Where humans can live, in case some nation

Causes our world to end as we know it

Since humans are human and could blow it…

What Are You Thinking?

Let’s say you’re a normie Trump supporter

Not really MAGA, but not a thwarter.

You don’t think he’s a threat to democracy

And saying so is just hypocrisy.

So there will be elections, and if you lose

Dems will get the same power to abuse.

Veritas Indeed

It’s been a while since I’ve felt good

About the things for which Harvard has stood.

But I applaud it here for taking on

The power grab of a crime boss Don.

Sure, Harvard can afford to take a stand,

But so could others who chose the armband.

Yes, Just a Bit

Not bad so far as euphemisms go!

“A bit tired,” yes, kind of means you know:

“This is batshit bonkers, when will it end?!”

Or must we still continue to pretend

That tactics are in place, a master plan!

We’re not just a joke led by a con man…

Any Way Possible

Well this presents an interesting notion…

If after all the chaos and commotion,

After the claims of a stolen election,

After the lies and insurrection,

It finally happened that justice was done.

Because of the tariffs? That’s a good one!

Actions and Consequences

RFK Jr. has a good question

Though seems to stop short of a suggestion.

But if people knowingly harm their health

Should they lay claim to our collective wealth?

For sure we hop on a slippery slope

But worth a shot if we manage the scope.

And It’s On Us

Beijing isn’t wrong in its assessment…

Look at the state of foreign investment.

The dollar has dropped and Treasuries died

As faith in America fell by the wayside.

Trump’s playbook now is considered a joke

One that will make our world go up in smoke.
