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…

Why DO We Speak…?

Though the article is scientific

Dealing with a gene that’s quite specific

The bigger question I like to ponder

Is why so many choose to squander

The gift of speech that we’ve received

Saying foolish things that are ill-conceived…

Maybe I’ll Watch from Home

The owners of all the NFL teams

Have said the nightmare they see in their dreams

Isn’t from injuries or losing games

Or doing something that sullies their names.

The biggest threat that they’re panicked about?

A swarm of drones on a murderous rout.

Fat, Lazy and Forgetful

Life has been great the past seven decades

With peace and good health and lots of free trades.

For sure there has been a price that we pay

And now some people don’t think that’s okay.

But that is because these fools never knew

World war and polio and what they do.

The Problem with GPS

The value of data and technology

Is that its objective, no apology.

The problem is that when we depend on it

We miss other signals and then can commit

Pretty bad errors at great expense,

Divorcing ourselves from common sense.

Secretary of Pretense

So the gentleman from Mississippi,

A far-right guy not much of a hippy,

Chair of the Armed Services Committee,

With knowledge of defense that’s pretty gritty,

Basically said that Hegseth’s a sucker…

A bigger clown than even Tucker.

Real Life Jonah

Most know the Old Testament’s scary tale

Of Jonah, the dude swallowed by a whale.

He was stuck inside for three days and nights

Smelly and dark with no food and no lights.

This guy survived a much shorter ordeal…

But no doubt made the same prayerful appeal.

Man in the Mirror

If McConnell is miffed about this blast,

And more behavior to make him aghast,

Coming from Trump and all his apostles,

Targeting him among other fossils,

Well he only has himself to blame.

Mitch leaves behind a legacy of shame.

Pick a Winner

So it’s hard to say which one of these three

Makes you feel good in this land of the free.

The rich preacher in black is on the left

And the guy on the right seems a bit bereft.

But that dude in the middle? What a stance!

Makes you feel like we have a chance.

The Right Stuff

They’re quite a rich crew, of that there’s no doubt.

But how did they earn their financial blowout?

Some did it in the old-fashioned way…

Born to rich parents on their birth day.

Others bought into wind and to solar!

Just kidding… in MAGA that would make them bipolar.

Well…

All I wanted was to watch a good game.

But the Eagles showed up to stake a claim!

Dominating in about every way

They transformed it into a Super Day.

The Chiefs never showed up even though they’re strong.

Some losers left early, their prediction wrong…
