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…

Well…!

With the promise of spring not far away

Let’s think of new ways to start our day.

Needless to say I think this one is great!

Unless you like scrolling online hate.

So put down your phone, get out of that maze

And let some poetry ease your malaise…

Guess We’ll Never Know

I have to say the logic seems sound

Russia may back down if we’re around

Drilling and mining and making a mess

Putin might decide to acquiesce.

But the dream of minerals and their riches

Might now become a World War, bitches!

Old but Useful

Born when Columbus set out to sea

This clam is a link to history.

But bad things happen as you get older

Awareness faulters, ailments get bolder.

Yet Hafrun can still make us aware

Of global change and all its fanfare.

The Federal Family

Let’s say the government looked like us…

We’d be throwing ourselves under the bus.

Year in and year out spending more than we earn

With entitlements by far the largest burn.

So something drastic really must be done,

But the real change we need hasn’t even begun.

Really Appealing!

Many will debate the value of school.

Has it just become an obsolete tool?

Having degrees is now labeled elite

And sometimes makes it harder to compete.

And it costs a fortune, you write huge checks!

But at least you’ll also have much less sex…

A Matter of Logistics

I don’t have a problem with the question

Or that it will give folks indigestion.

Justifying what you do at your job

Is not aggressive and should be no prob!

What I don’t understand about this slap

Is who’s going to read all this crazy crap?!

Refreshing

It’s nice to see a conservative dude

Call out the facts when the emperor is nude.

I’m all for ending the war in Ukraine

But not in a way that’s kind of insane.

It’s worth reading these truths we can’t ignore

And remember that Russia is bad to the core.

US AID at it Again

It seems there’s a new corona virus!

Which makes sane people a bit desirous

Of vaccines that we know could help out

If we have another pandemic rout.

And how about the groups creating these things?

Their funding is gone but they’re still pulling strings!

If It Ain’t Broke, Break It!

Our northern neighbor has been a great friend.

But all good things must come to an end!

Because why would we want security,

Unguarded borders and maturity?

It would be much better to wreck it all!

When things are perfect make them fall.

Not Some Lefty Freak

The Editors at the Wall Street Journal

Rarely have the slightest kernel

Of interest in criticizing the right

Or of hinting at any type of slight.

So it’s a big deal for them to disdain

Trump’s Ukraine plan which they think is insane.
