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…

…in unusual ways

So here’s this minister who claims that God

Insists all women have a smokin’ bod!

He looks down at his Bible quite a bit

But technically never quotes from it.

Not totally sure which section of verse…

Will be able to save him from a curse.

Not sure it’s a NY thing

An unusual angle on a trend

Which truly never ever seems to end.

Men acting badly throughout all the years

Give New York governors plenty of peers.

Illinois alone has its share of worms…

Four governors in a row served jail terms!

Republished, again

Known for its humor and social insight

The Onion here highlights an awful plight.

Each time there’s a shooting in the nation

They run the same piece, changing location.

How often does it cover these awful crimes?

Now it has published over sixteen times.

Por supuesto!

I lived in Madrid for over a year

And a couple of things were abundantly clear.

The Spanish are merry and full of life

Their zest for good times is not short of rife.

Work, it seemed, was more like a distraction…

They may need to rethink this course of action!

Selective service?

So this headline screams from the NY Post

When Marines responded to the Fox host

Who smugly derided respect we give

To women who’ve chosen a life to live

In service to this great nation of ours.

Their BS flows stronger than beer at bars.

Not a bad idea…

We’ve been through a lot and the end is near

But that doesn’t mean we’re all in the clear.

The anti-vaxers have quite a stronghold

Nearly half of the GOP all told…

They fear tracking chips and gene mutation!

Which, in fact, could be good for the nation…

Was it the downward dog…?

It’s still not for certain, it’s just a “might”
But ‘Bama may say that yoga’s alright.
That wouldn’t change some of its other laws
Which could have a way of giving you pause…
Like marrying your sister? That’s just fine!
It’s that dang yoga which really crosses the line.

Just another day…?

Families are weird that much is certain…

So maybe don’t peek behind that curtain.

And seems to me that this case is not new,

I kind of think that my mom’s crazy too!

Oh let’s blame the media for a lot!

But not for something we already got…

Who woke the kids?

If you want to see how the problems start

Here’s a pretty good case to take to heart.

Let’s all agree that the world should be kind!

But say “mom” or “dad” and you’ll be maligned?

Actions like this one lose sight of the goal,

And the Left will be pushed down a woke hole.

Sold! For $69 million…

It is of course a tough age long question

And one that takes some time for digestion…

What determines the value of something?

A priceless masterpiece or a dumb thing?

Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder…

But sixty-nine sticks is tough to shoulder.
