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…

Isn’t it all?

So he’s got a problem with paying for sex

And thinks it may make his partner his ex.

His partner thinks it’s not such a big thing

But wouldn’t do it if he’s wearing a ring.

The truth, however, that we can’t smother

Is we all pay for sex, one way or another.

December babies…?

At first people thought there’d be a spike

In Sagittarian babies, because, well, like…

You’re in the house with nothing to do

And eventually nothing is even worse than you.

At least that might be a line you will try!

Or else June divorces will be sky high…

Well thank heavens!

The State of Florida once again shines

What could go wrong? Turn down the alarm.

So should proper spelling

If they’re trying to sell us on being real

They’ve got far to go to seal the deal…

When you’re trying to set a classy image

You can’t play the game like it’s a scrimmage.

Everything matters, it’s all part of the plan.

At least put the ads through a spellcheck scan!

But you have to read them

Sure, intelligence reports were on the issue

Projecting the threat and no toilet tissue

But the problem with reports in this case

Is that even when they’re put in his face

Donnie refuses to give them attention

Unless they give him honorable mention.

I’m with Tuck?

It’s happened one or two times before…

Usually I disagree with him to the core

But now and then he just gets it right

And offers a glimmer of hope and light.

Tuck is spot on about this slithering slime

And a democrat too is involved in the crime.

Err on side of caution

The virus spreads from tiny moist drops

That escape by a cough or sneeze and then hops

Into the air or onto a surface you touch.

But it can’t last in the air all that much

And it dies off of cardboard within a day

So order in at home and get ready to stay.

The only thing to fear

It seems like a bit of a word twist

But the lesson inside is hard to resist.

So much of life comes down to this:

It’s attitude that sends you down an abyss.

FDR once said the only threat is fear,

Jack Sparrow’s view is pretty darn near.

Simple but true

It is the single best thing you can do

To prevent the pandemic from reaching you.

It’s hard to imagine that such a simple task

Is so much more effective than wearing a mask.

And the good news is that it’s also fun!

So do it a lot ‘til corona is done…

Kindness spreads too

The dark news and troubled times

May need more than only rhymes!

Stepping up to the plate is this young man

A shop owner in Scotland doing what he can

To help his community try to stay clean

By giving goods to those in quarantine.
