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…

Crimson with embarrassment

When you wanna load your rightwing gun

Ammunition like this will get it done.

Students at Harvard, a college with prestige

Have lost their minds to a leftwing siege.

Banning speakers on campus was not enough…

Let’s stop the paper from printing stuff!

The Osc

There are few who walk the planet
With the grace and moral granite
Of the man I’ve come to know as The Osc!
A saint of ’em all – church, synagogue and mosque.
And on this day that marks his birth
I’m so very grateful he’s on the Earth.

Pattern recognition

It certainly comes as no surprise

That Donnie upended what meets the eyes.

By now we can see his strategy at work –

Tell ‘em what they want, and hide the smirk.

It’s not even clever or classic old school…

He simply plays everyone for being a fool.

Bow WOW!

I’ve long thought of dogs as superior creatures.

Total faith and loyalty – without being preachers.

Now they and their kind are lending some paws

To help us humans overcome our flaws.

Who else could unify our polarized politicians,

And win unanimous support with no conditions?

‘Cuz I said so…?

If you say it’s not a “quid pro quo”

At the very least it means you know

That quid pro quo’s are not allowed!

No matter how much you incite the crowd

You can’t kill a person in the street

Then say it’s not murder in a tweet.

Why not?

Given the vast expanse of the universe,

And how little we know, to make it worse,

It strikes me as odd that people would balk

At the mere possibility there’s more than just talk

To the idea that stars govern something essential.

What’s to lose in exploring that potential?

There’s still hope

Yes he’d be the oldest in the race

But Mike still travels at a healthy pace.

He’s a genuine self-made success

With deep experience in the political mess.

We should not go to the leftist extreme!

Joe, please make way for this centrist dream…

What are we doing?!

As political “leaders” set a new mark

For making the world especially dark

Don’t imagine you’ll find some relief

From media firms which hold the belief

That profits from turning us into a disgrace

Are all well and good here in Trump’s place.

See, it’s not that hard!

Nancy Reagan asked us to “just say no,”

As if magically then a drug problem would go.

I do believe that we’re asking for less

From our GOP friends and the conservative press.

Donnie’s collection of offenses is piling up high.

Perhaps now is the time that they do or they die.

Just… wow

So here we are at that corrupt place

Where you’d think you’d finally feel disgrace.

The Chief of Staff couldn’t have been more plain –

Ukraine aid was withheld for political gain.

And then as well Trump is lining his pocket

Putting the G7 meeting on his hotel docket.
