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…

This Guy Sucked

The notion that famous men over time

Known for their good contributions, not crime

May also have had a much darker side

Seems like a topic that would provide

Tons of content and it would kind of stink…

Most people aren’t what they want you to think.

On Brand

Of course it’s a defect whose impact hits

Innocent outsiders with a deadly blitz.

While those who drive this hideous ride

Are perfectly safe on the inside.

And the guy who designed this horrific mess

Is redesigning government, no less.

On the Bright Side

It’s more than just folly to end VOA

The recourse is dangerous, and we will pay.

Enemies will fill the digital void

And years of goodwill will be destroyed.

If there’s any good news that can be drawn…

The voice of Kari will also be gone!

VOA is DOA

It reaches millions and spreads the good word

So shutting it down is kind of a turd.

For sure there are aspects which need to mend.

But it’s not too bright to just make it end.

Voids get filled by new information

And now it will come from some evil nation.

Humanity Would Be Hosed

While I might survive, what would be the point?

I could hunt and cook and build a nice joint,

Start a fire and keep it burning strong

But the civilized world wouldn’t last long.

We’d start from scratch on most things I’m afraid,

Since so few people know how things are made.

Grammar Queen

Who knew such a thing even existed?

Of all the many things that are twisted

I never imagined there was a clan

That would identify as grammar fan!

And it gives me hope that some are willing

To take grammar advice! Kind of thrilling…

Civil War

I’m worried Pete Hegseth might be confused.
After Trump showed him how tariffs are used
He probably thinks it’s an act of war…
But against our own people at the core!

What evil inhuman dictator would

Put such tariffs on booze?! That’s just not good.

Spoiled. Rotten

It’s as bad as defaulting on our debt.

We’re no longer considered a safe bet.

Relationships that took decades to build

Are being marched out and summarily killed.

The peace and prosperity that we’ve enjoyed

For 80 years may soon be destroyed.

Product Marketing Match

Diversity of thought is essential

For any outfit to reach its potential.

And promoting people who outperform

Should certainly be a company norm.

But whatever it is that you’ve got planned

Make sure that it fits with your product brand.

What Goes Around

Tycoons are free to support who they like

And we are free to see this and say “psyche!”

Few tears will be shed for this rich Tech Crew

Roundly thought to have betrayed their true view

In order to gain more power and might.

So seeing this is a pretty fun sight.
