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…


What the…?!

In full disclosure I wanted the Rams

To win the game, yes, but with no scams.

This was among the worst calls ever

And the refs involved should really never

Attend Mardi Gras or be the guy who

Shows up anywhere near the bayou.


Party of Abe?

Larry Hogan seems to carry the hopes

Of the GOP pols who feel on the ropes.

They abhor the politics of Blood and Soil

And yearn for the aura of honest toil,

That the Party of Lincoln had revered

But today seems to have disappeared.


More bad news!

As if our struggles weren’t hard enough

Now comes news that’s super tough.

What in the world are these kids thinking?

Life will not get better if you stop drinking!

Reared winning medals to just show up

Now they make kombucha blow up…?!


Well, hell yeah…

We’re riding up on the 35th time

That these Western boys have gathered to rhyme.

It would rank among my life’s top joys
To spend some time with these cowboys.
Their lives and mine are at opposite poles
But dang if we don’t have some common goals!


La Cage Aux Folles

I suppose we should be careful when

Thinking of parallels that could then

Be broadly applied between man and fowl

And make social conservatives throw in the towel.

Yet facts are facts, despite what some say.

And the best penguin parents? Well, they’re gay!


What’s the big deal?

“Don’t get your panties in such a twist!

They’re only words, don’t be so pissed.

And when did these words become so wrong?

Rappers say worse but call it a song!”

Ok, it’s true these lines were not Steve King’s

But it’s easy to imagine him saying these things.


So how’s that going?

It’s still unclear what was the point

Of imposing tariffs on the Chinese joint.

It makes their products more expensive to buy

But clearly their value to consumers is high.

Instead of trying to protect old trade

Invent new ways for things to be made!


Celebrity Big Brother

From time to time it hits me hard,

Seems like God is playing the apocalypse card.

Why in the world would anyone care

About the cheat, the Mooch and famous hair?

The signs are darkening, you must admit

When the viewing public wants this… stuff.


All in all it’s just another…

The baggage between them is heavy weight

With recent events adding to the freight.

Donnie and Jim have no love lost

And their media spats have had some cost.

Jim’s work at the wall was not meticulous.

Score one for Trump, that was ridiculous!


Um, you do know, right…?

Are Donnie and Mike in communication

About the foreign policy of the nation?

“When America retreats, chaos follows”

Would seem to ring awfully hollow as

Our Kurdish friends are near hysteria

Now that we have pulled out of Syria.
