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…

Vive la Vaccine

I really love Europe, yes quite a lot

But not because it’s better, it is not.

It is just different, with great things to do

But it seems there are some parallels too…

Who are all these nuts that still fail to see

The vaccine is what gives you liberty?

Too Rich

It can’t really get much better than this!
Only politics could be so amiss…
It’s true that Cuomo has problems galore
And given Trump’s rap sheet you could be sore
That he waltzed away with no consequence
While Cuomo’s career teeters on the fence.

Lord Jim

Yes, Jim Clyburn is a big reason why

Biden was able to make Trump fans cry.

He has fought tooth and nail for the center:

Keep the far left at bay, do not enter.

Whether or not it’s politically smart

It certainly is a good place to start.

The Difference

If he were republican, well let’s see…

His whole party would cry “Hypocrisy!”

They would lash out and say it’s all fake news

Then trash the women and say it’s a ruse.

It’s just a shame that that’s how they play it,

While dems think the right thing and then say it.

Red Tide Refugees

It’s true I like to make fun of this state

But only because of all its live bait…

I mean, c’mon, now sharks in canals?!

It gives us the best in the best locales.

But this issue is real and it’s quite sad

Pollution in Florida is just bad.

Why…?

Not long ago I wrote a few rhymes

About the impressive number of times

Florida beat back covid infections

While disregarding healthcare objections.

Now the tide has turned quite severely

But has anything changed all that clearly?

Technocrap

Credit can help build something secure

But too often is careless, that’s for sure.

Instant gratification is what it can buy

And no matter how hard people may try

Their means and desires have a huge gap

Which will now be fueled by another app.

Till a life sentence do us part

This is the story of an estranged man
And the wife he wanted to win back again.
He hired some thugs to kidnap his maiden
Then he’d go save her and love would fade in.
The scheme went south, he did not win her back…
It’s best not to make plans when high on crack.

Can’t byte love?

Vegans and fitness buffs and wizards too,
If you’re looking for love these apps are for you!
No more red-faced confessions of what you like
We’ve all got the same proclivities, psyche!
Though it can take some fun out of it all
What’s dating without a good trip and fall?

‘Cuz it makes sense

It’s kind of a silly question to ask

Since delivering energy is their task.

Who cares if it comes from oil below

Or from the sun or a mighty wind flow.

Humans depend on powering machines

And they can be powered by any means.
