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…

Que Bueno!

I know their intent is much more noble

And their mission no doubt is highly global.

But one sure benefit of this movement

Would be the instant path to improvement

For learning those languages complicated by

The fact that every word is a girl or a guy!

Weird Indeed

The dystopian world he described

In a speech in which he prescribed

A policy of putting “America first”

To avoid becoming the world’s worst

Was a surprise to all with eyes and ears

Since America has been great for many years.

OMG… he did NOT!

Here are world leaders at the NATO Summit.

Each has seen their popularity plummet.

And so it seems, as though with mean girls,

They’re now going to enjoy their little pearls

Of gossip about the Cheer Squad Captain,

A bee-otch who rules the world we’re trapped in.

In their bedrooms…?

Sometimes the world spins off its axis,

With violence and storms and higher taxes.

Often these things are beyond our control

But from time to time we dig our own hole…

Teens should not stress over corporate stock!

What happened to daydreams, and an old tube sock?

Well…

You sure won’t get any arguments from me

And I’m happy that people are starting to see

The mystery of rhymes go deep and go far –

We hardly know what all their powers are!

But it seems they’re a part of the healing art,

And that’s a pretty sweet place to start…

Throw the flag!

Can’t say I think it’s a good idea,

And I certainly don’t want to be a

Player who complains about the rules

In mid-game while losing to fools

But the Electoral College has to go

If its popular vote gap continues to grow.

That sucks…

Okay, so in a way it’s a little funny

But even as a joke it isn’t money.

It takes a lot to be in law enforcement

And those in it should have our endorsement.

Yes there are some who abuse their position

But the vast majority are on a good mission.

Mike’s Moderate Muscle

Even if he does not win one vote,

And his chances of victory are pretty remote,

He is already helping our great nation

By focusing attention on the recreation

Of a strong centrist pilar, common sense,

Rejecting polarity and self-serving pretense.

Whistle blows, Trump stops playing

This could hardly come as any surprise

Donnie is a fighter, if not very wise.

When the plot was revealed he took action

And tried to prevent it from getting traction.

He knew the payments were due by US law

And tried to make them quick before we all saw…

Impoochment proceedings

Yet more evidence of a simple fact

Dogs can save us if we choose to act

With each other as we do with them.

They really don’t care if you’re a Dem

Or a Republican on the far right

They just want to fill our lives with light.
