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…

Damn the torpedos!

Who says these folks aren’t tough?

No matter what happens it won’t be enough

To stop the inevitable desire to see

People in clothes that neither you nor me

Could possibly wear with a straight face…

But kudos to fashion for not losing pace!

Now what?

I’m glad that centrists performed so well

Though too bad Mayor Mike pretty much fell.

The path from here is much more clear

But it’s essential the Dems hold this dear:

The nation will stagnate with more division

So they had better build a broad coalition.

The chutzpah…!

Say what you will about the Chief,

A brilliant leader or petty thief,

He won’t let anything in his way.

No matter what he may do or say

He’s always right in his own mind

And to those who are of his kind.

Miss ya, Pete!

I was thrilled when he joined the race

And man did he run at a fast pace!

Yes he can seem like a smarty-pants

But his calm intellect would only enhance

A thoughtful angle to the political show.

Indeed it’s a shame to see him go.

Plus they look stupid

I am by no means an expert on Covid-19

But there are a few things that I’ve seen.

Consistency is important as a general rule

So when Donnie says that all is cool

It’s harder for his team to be taken for real

When they then try to tell us the actual deal…

The Dirtbag Left

In the spirit of calling a spade a spade

I have to say that this news made

My outlook on the world overall

Get consumed by a darkening squall…

The left is reacting in the worst way

With its own polarizing media sway.

But also much smarter, right?

As compared to Americans fifty years ago
The extremely obese have grown 10 times or so.
So yes it’s a fact that we’re getting much fatter –
Too many fingers dipped in the cookie batter –
But at least it’s also very plain to see
We’ve grown intellectual curiosity… Not.

Dopies Choice

Can you imagine if this is truly our choice?
A socialist or a guy in a gold Rolls Royce…
Both are crazy in their own unique ways
And provide no help getting out of our maze.
This grand experiment that is our nation
May soon collapse in degradation.

Uh, honest, Ociffer…

The sirens and lights create quite a scene
As he hands over the cup you have to pee in.
“I don’t suppose you would believe
It might be hard for me to relieve
My bladder at this moment in time…
It’s brewing another Corona and lime!”

Many, many questions…

In case Florida had too few attractions

Some folks there took unusual actions…

I can’t say that it’s exactly clear to me

Why monkeys with herpes are fun to see.

But there they are, and we now need a hero

Since the chance of human infection is “not zero.”
