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…

So Unfair… So Unfair

With the most lenient sentence of all time
Any felon convicted of crime
Would weep tears of joy and have a few smokes
But Trump just fumes since the whole thing’s a hoax.
His fans all have their tight panties in knots
While enemies scheme to take their next shots.

Moral Hazard Averted

There are a few things that Biden has done

Which seemed really stupid, and this was one.

So despite being grateful, overall

For his attempt to stop the MAGA squall

I’m glad that this program has been halted,

Fairness and logic were being assaulted.

Take Greenland, Be Great Again

I’ve been to Greenland and it’s amazing,

With so many features worth our praising.

It’s no wonder Trump is looking at it

Like a spoiled brat having a fit.

“I want it! I want!” the child screams.

Except this kid has military schemes.

Or, Worse…

Let’s say that this happens, what could go wrong?

These best friends would tell us that they belong

Right there beside us, through thick and through thin

Loyal and loving, they’re always all in.

So what if they don’t have interesting plans…

The REAL danger is that they’re MAGA fans.

Warrior Poets at Sea

One of the things that makes the world fun

Is when something unexpected is done.

And when that something includes a few rhymes

Well, then you’re in for some really good times…

What a fabulous Navy tradition

To add to its otherwise serious mission.

Doom… Gloom… and Hope!

Oh it’s so easy to sulk and to whine

To say that we’re teetering on a fine line

That all of the world is going to Hell

And we’ve fallen under some wicked spell.

And that’s true. BUT, it’s not all damnation…

There’s also a world of inspiration.

Ya Don’t Say

I can only greet this with huge surprise!
How quickly we fixed the system’s demise.
And fixed by the democrats who were in power…
That must have been their finest hour.
From a total fraud just four years ago
Elections are once again safe we know.

Bedside Manner

Experts can often be real annoying.

Caught up in their facts and not employing

Language that makes them understood

While wagging a finger and saying “you should…”

I think that’s a habit they better quit,

The future might really depend on it.

Always Someone Crazier

I once ran ten of them over the summer

Most people thought that was dumb or dumber.

But I enjoyed it and just thought “Why not?”

I thought I may as well see what I got.

Then I met a guy who did ten in ten days!

And now this?! It doesn’t cease to amaze…

Listen…

It’s not just because he’s from my hometown
Tom Suozzi’s on point, he’s not some clown.

Stop with all of the blanket resistance

And instead use focus and persistence

To find solutions to things that matter.

Trump won for a reason, and he’s the Mad Hatter.
