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…

A Big Day

We honor a hero in MLK

While it’s also Inauguration Day.

Davos begins with its global elites

And we watch college football’s best athletes.

As if that’s not enough for us to track

On top of it all, Tik Tok is back…!

Aging Disgracefully

With money and time and memories of

Life back in the day with extremities of

Sex and drugs and rock n’ roll

And parties that just stirred the soul…

Yes, the older crowd is setting free

Only worried about an STD…

Life WILL Go On

There are quite a few gems packed in this list

Which starts pointing out all the things they’ve missed

Staring at phones twenty hours a day

As attention spans quickly decay.

There’s a real world to see outside your phone!

You just have to leave your comfort zone.

Didn’t the Dinosaurs…?

Who knew that this was an actual thing?

Does our survival rest on a shoestring?

I had no idea that we get hit

By meteorites and other space shit.

This one was small but seems unexpected.

Can’t say that I feel very protected.

Kids These Daze

Well it’s a sad day when the young dancers

Don’t seem to have any good answers

For why they would rather head home so soon

Rather than partying straight through till noon…

Are they more mature and a bit less coifed…

Or have they simply become really soft?

Cheeky Aussies

Double standard? Naw, men’s butts are just gross

If they wear something skimpy, adios!

The much larger issue it seems to me

Is about enforcing this policy.

How do we know when it’s too revealing?

Will someone measure or is it just a feeling?

Because, Of Course

It takes one to know one, the saying goes

And if there’s anything everyone knows

It’s that, right or wrong, she will have a view

(Often revealing that she has no clue).

So, like hurricanes that have left us all scarred,

Marj is for sure a reckless blowhard.

A Little Sunshine

Yes it all happened 60 years ago

But this is a story that you should know.

Six boys alone on a deserted isle

Did not become savages in exile

But worked hard together and all survived…

In fact it’s quite clear they even thrived.

Kettle, Pot, You Know…

Well get your popcorn and pull up a chair

‘Cause this one may just have the chance to flare

Into an interesting battle of power

Between two dudes who aren’t known to cower.

For sure Elon knows that he will be hit

With Steve’s tried and true: “Flood the zone with shit.”

Meta Man Tries MAGA

Well if that’s the case then here’s a thought…

Get a haircut and clothes that aren’t bought

Three sizes too large. And about that watch?

It’s a million bucks! Take it down a notch.

And by the way, I think real men do care

More about facts than you are aware…
