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…

Clever Girl!

I have to say there’s something which grabs you

About this photo, which really has you.

What an odd look this young girl throws our way

Supercilious indeed, some might say.

Almost as if she could already see

She’d make half a mil from the NFT…

Been there, will do that

After all is said and all is then done

I think that it’s really a lot more fun

To work together in common spaces

And not just see those video faces.

The people back at the office will win

After this long strange trip we’ve all been in.

Business trip

One has to wonder what gave him away…

Like what did he do or what did he say?

Did it really “boost focus,” like he said?

Or perhaps he was not “present,” instead…

No matter the case, seems this is at heart:

LSD at work might not be so smart.

Healthy and Trim

Every summer needs to have a motto

To help us remember when we’re blotto.

And that may be frequent this time around

Given the freedom we’ve finally found…

So hell yes, go get out there, vaxed and waxed!

And let’s all get a little bit relaxed.

Kiwi Oui Oui!

Fine, so my title really makes no sense,

Mixing in French has a whiff of pretense.

But it’s amazing to see how they won

Those New Zealanders now are having fun!

Few folks on an island, those are the facts…

For us we need people to get the vax!

Wrong credentials

Once the best athlete who walked on the earth,

He questioned the assignment at his birth.

Then played second string on a TV show

Which truly brought us all to a new low.

Could she thrive in the political biz?

No… Cate’s been honest about who she is.

Happy Birthday Dike!

A renaissance man at the very core

Whose past is rich with legendary lore.

Oh what tales we can tell of mirth and woe

The Holiday Rap at the NoHo show…!

Humble and generous and funny as hell,

And the best friend a guy could have as well.

Super Bush League

So billionaires gather and hatch a plan –

“This is going to be so good, my man!”

A new league for the world’s most favorite sport!

Except it will cut all other teams short…

Perhaps some forethought would have made it cool,

But now all involved look every bit the tool.

Ya think?

It was a love affair and Trump was proud!

Not as good as grabbing some, he allowed,

But still it’s great to cozy up to Kim…

Peas in a pod! He just understands him.

But nothing was gained indeed much was lost,

The South thinks the affair had a high cost.

If you know what this means, you smoke some weed.

If not then you likely won’t feel the need

To make jokes about toking, getting high

Under the bleachers, then wondering why

Everything finally makes sense to you now.

And maybe we should go get us some chow…
