They used to be held once every four years
And had the attention of all eyes and ears.
Then they decided to split them in two,
Probably to see if their ratings grew.
Every two years, they were on all the time…
The magic wore off, a bit of a crime.
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…
They used to be held once every four years
And had the attention of all eyes and ears.
Then they decided to split them in two,
Probably to see if their ratings grew.
Every two years, they were on all the time…
The magic wore off, a bit of a crime.

Being consistent is a worthy trait
And good folks always want to play it straight.
So if you’re inclined to “ethically sourced”
Then why shouldn’t that also be enforced
To all things you take wherever you go
Even when it comes time to do blow?!

At the core of the strength of our nation
Is our bold history of immigration.
Even Native Americans came one day
Across some isthmus that gave them a way.
But it’s not sustainable anymore
To maintain a toll free open door.

Say what you will about Europeans
On climate issues they’re not plebeians.
Their leadership here is quite amazing
With bold new plans that are all trail blazing.
No kicking the can further down the road
They’re notching it up into Ludicrous Mode.

It’s an achievement that’s hard to believe
Human ingenuity, pulled from the sleeve.
What an awesome gift to be able to give
Expression of thought, much more life to live.
These fine doctors have changed the game
The future for humans is not the same.

It’s true that rules are made for a reason
And procedure is one of the keys in
Making new laws and governing the land
But fleeing the state is a silly stand…
All of the issues should be debated
Instead the State House has been vacated.

While pools have created a different deal
It’s still a story with dramatic appeal…
One of two nations “double landlocked”
All of its neighbors are also blocked
From having access to any sea coast
But it’s got some swimmers, at least almost…

Let’s say for a moment that this is true
And it changed relationships that were blue
And they blossomed into heavenly bliss
With love and attention sealed by a kiss.
Well then perhaps we’d be able to think
At least something from covid didn’t stink.

It couldn’t come a moment too soon
Because we’re headed to culture’s high noon.
The political center has all but collapsed
And it must be fixed before more time has elapsed.
All the emphasis on everything woke
Will make Democrats’ edge go up in smoke.

Kudos and congrats to this fine kid,
Who won her spelling bee championship bid!
And on top of that, we should all take note,
There is the chance, and it’s not remote,
That it won’t even be her biggest feat…
She holds three records as an athlete!
