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…

Good to travel again!

Thank God the world is coming back online!

With lovely people on the airline.

We all missed each other in the lockdown

And thought that we’d never again knockdown

Our fellow humans, you’d like to think,

Unless, of course, they don’t bring us a drink…

Mitch’s MAGA Mess

He argues that it would be overkill

For a bipartisan look at what will

Go down in history as a pretty dark day

When Trump promoted democracy’s decay.

Mitch plays the long game, so you’d think he’d know

Now’s not the time for political show.

More Fiscal Folly

If you want to borrow, it’s a good time

Since low interest rates now will likely climb.

But has anyone thought how all this will end?

Both sides of the aisle just spend spend spend.

There will come a time to pay the piper

Standing in the crosshairs of debt’s sniper.

The China Syndrome

Remember when Trump first made this suggestion?

And all the Left cried it’s out of the question?

Seems there’s some truth to his perspective

Which I hope will make folks more reflective.

I sure understand not liking the guy

But that doesn’t make all things a lie.

Go, Dog. Go!

In case there happened to be any doubt

Regarding what dogs are all about

This story should help to set the case right

With one more trait that we should highlight…

These awesome creatures who are man’s best friend

Are also helping to make covid end.

Well Done, Old Sport!

Kudos to Phil for his PGA win!

An ancient old dude who still finds the pin.

Keeping his edge as all those years tick by

Flipping the bird to age and giving a try.

With guys like him and TB12 too

You’re inspired to think, what about you?

Defunding Common Sense

It gained some strength when press reported it

But Joe and his team never supported it.

So now it’s local, and crime has gone up

The logical outcome of plans drawn up.

Supporters hoped to be more effective

But now their police are less protective.

Critical Grace Theory

The country is now in a hot debate
Over race relations and our national fate.
America once embraced slavery
Cleansing that stain needs more than bravery.
Critical race theory may not be right
But being graceful with all leads to insight.

Unmask it

Man oh man all the criticisms flew!
Especially from those in states that are blue.
But Ron set a bold course and fought the flack
And pretty soon Florida was back on track.
Why it all worked there but not everywhere
Is a public health issue to study with care.

In God We Trust (and CEOs)

Seems Bob Dylan had it right all along…

The times they are a changing, yes that song.

Government and media used to be

The leaders we trusted to help us see

The path to success and building a base.

Now business has all but taken that place.
