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…

You don’t say?

BoJo is in fact something of a mystery,

There aren’t many like him throughout history.

A one-issue clown who has reached too far

He’s the dog that has actually caught the car.

Winning Brexit was a total surprise.

What do you do with that prize…?

Or, just ban work…

“People are offended by bonuses.” Really?

It’s hard to imagine a policy more silly.

For sure inequality is an important issue

But solutions like this are toilet tissue.

The private sector can pay what it chooses.

A ban such as this would mean everyone loses.

He who denied it…

Well whadya know?! And what a surprise…

He no longer could live a life of lies.

But why in the world did he make others pay

For the frivolous fact that he is gay?

It’s a shame he felt he couldn’t embrace it.

But why shame others before he could face it?

Who makes these up?!

Singapore has always had some laws

That are pretty messed up with tons of flaws.

Like spitting chewing gum on the street

Which, though disgusting, should not meet

With the whipping you get for doing so.

And now you’re arrested to see your wife go?

Is it real or is it memory?

Total Recall was an awesome sci-fi flick.

You could buy memories, which was just sick.

But now that fantasy is turning out real

Which makes it a totally disturbing deal.

All we are is memory in our head.

So how will we know what life we led?

He did not act alone

Another mass slaughter with a gun,

And again we all want something to be done.

Many believe there must be brand new laws,

While the NRA whips up support for its cause.

But to start let’s enforce what’s already in place!

The gun vendor is also guilty in this disgrace.

Forecasts

There is nothing funny about a big storm

And making fun of catastrophe is pretty bad form.

But… fair game to go after all the predictions

That result in these totally useless depictions

Of when it will land and in which state!

Weathermen just make economists look great.

@realDonaldTrump, maybe…

It is political genius, Donnie’s use of Twitter

Whether you like it a lot, or it makes you bitter.

But it does not come without its dangers…

Like, say, being hacked by total strangers!

If wingnuts took over they could create hell.

Though I wonder if anyone would be able to tell?

Say It Ain’t So… again!

Between Google and a guy with a cell

It’s become very hard to be able to tell

A really good story that isn’t dismissed

For stretching the truth, or a fact missed.

But Joe, c’mon, this performance is lame.

Less than the truth is just more of the same.

Par for his course

Donnie has said that it’s totally untrue

But that was predictable and right on cue.

Here is our President telling people to break

The laws of the land and then he will make

Sure to give them a pardon if it goes bad.

To use his own favorite term, this is so sad…
