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…


Well, hello…!

I never liked Lego much.

Perhaps because I had no touch –

I couldn’t fathom what to build,

My imagination was all but killed.

But this, THIS would have changed that situation!

Or at least made me cool with my stagnation…

Miles High City

The people of Denver have done it again!

First it was weed, now psilocybin.

It’s not a lot but they did approve

To decriminalize mushrooms, a bold first move.

Bless these folk and their open ways,

Finding a path through the drug maze.


Oops…? Really?

An accident is stubbing your toe,

Or slipping on the ice and snow,

Or saying something by mistake,

Or buying a Rolex that’s a fake.

But accidentally waging war…?

That’s all wrong at the core.


Easily solved

The experts tend to disagree

And no one yet has found the key.

But if drinking lightly ain’t so great

I’d say you best not hesitate…

Order a double and down it fast

Then order another and have a blast!


Sounds familiar

Horse racing has had a tough spell,

With a whole bunch of things not going well.

The latest problem was a challenging call

In the race for the biggest prize of all.

The familiarity is so strong and hearty…

Ah yes! Just like the Democratic Party!


Fava beans and a chianti

So Donnie had a catchup with his pal Vlad.

Not much about that should make us glad.

They chatted about the “Russian Hoax,”

This just could not be a good thing, folks.

It seems to me a bit like the specter

Of talking menus with Hannibal Lecter.

Ends and means

We’ve heard a bit from this guy before

He’s not all about making love and not war…

His followers often lack a common moral code

Which can take them down a pretty dark road.

But on this matter he hits the spot!

Seems true to me more often than not.

Home of… creativity!

Whoever is in charge over at Burger King

Is truly doing a really great thing,

Offering vegetable replacements to red meat,

Good for the environment and better to eat,

And supporting awareness of mental health

With a competitive jab that’s a little stealth!

Sailing, takes me away…

What could these folks possibly be thinking?!

Or what special Kool Aid are they drinking?

How could this be good for their girl?

Now the world just wants to hurl…

But kind of a surprise that it was botched.

Since sailing? Well, it’s never watched!

It starts at the top

Though Donnie is the biggest offender

Who knew? Canada is the true contender!

And boys and girls, those rich and poor

Generally get about the same score.

The Irish ranking really made me think…

Quite a surprise given the amount they drink!
