April 20 is a revered holiday indeed!

A time to celebrate for those who love weed.

The day was chosen as a result

Of the number 420, which was kind of a cult.

It did not come from Marley or a bootleg Dead set,

It was the time after school when study group met…

How hard would it be for each side to say

It is as it is, and it’s here to stay?

Mueller has said the facts aren’t sufficient.

To take further action would not be efficient.

On the other hand it’s clear shady things were done.

Welcome to politics! This round Don won.

I can’t say that I’m a fan of hers

Or of the chaos that always occurs

Pretty much whenever she decides

To open her mouth and take sides.
D and B followers are often the same,

But this is just one hell of a claim…!

Gabriel Garcia Marquez once told
A little story about growing old.
People don’t stop dreaming because they age,
In fact it’s the opposite at that stage.
People get old because they stop dreaming…!
Well this young lady, her dreams are beaming.

The French sure can be an annoying crew

But today, mes amis, my thoughts are with you.

Notre Dame is a triumph of human achievement,

And all who are human will feel bereavement.

Her splendor will return, this much we know.

But until then, where will Quasimodo go?

There really is only one thing that’s sure

(And it’s not paying taxes, because your

President showed us how to skip that drag!).

No, the only thing that’s in the bag

Is that each one of us will certainly die.

So it’s about time we improved this last goodbye.

Clearly these tests are totally brilliant

And fully assess who’s smart and resilient!

Why else would a guy who can ace it each time

Use those talents to lead a life of crime?

These tests have precisely nothing essential

To predict a young person’s vast potential.

Plaguing the nation are 3 forces:

Social media, politics, and third of course is

The disappearance of the Religious Left!

An odd fact since the Far Right is bereft

Of any of the books on religion’s shelf,

Which say do unto others as you would to yourself.

TR is among my favorite men
I reference his writing time and again.
He speaks of gray twilight and the man in the ring
Urging us to try, no matter our thing.
But it’s hard to imagine he had this in mind…
His ring was real life, not the Pro-wrestling kind.

A freedom of the press hero who mastered the leak?
Or a narcissistic, molesting, global security freak?
Whatever you think, neither was why
Ecuador told him it was time to say bye.
A much more simple force did that trick –
As a houseguest, Assange was a dick.
