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…


He couldn’t have meant this

The year closes out on this day,

With love and hate still on display.

Somewhere the message must have been crossed.

Because the Golden Rule is certainly lost.

It’s hard to imagine it was God’s plan

To condemn anyone for loving a man.


Lists

Gallup ranked him our nation’s man most admired.

Just one slot behind is the voice of “You’re fired!”

Every year Number One has put out a list

Of favorite books and artists, you get the gist.

Hard to imagine the same from Number Two.

“Hey, here’s what I look at when on the loo!”


Too bad it wasn’t a mini

Yes she plagiarized Michelle Obama’s speech.

And her cyberbully campaign is a laughable niche.

But good lord it’s become totally absurd

How quick to judge in thought and word

So many people are towards the First Lady.

It makes them look both shallow and shady.


Like when I stood up Gisele

Who knows who holds this ticket of wonder?

If it were me I’d have to be six feet under

Not to post up and claim this ludicrous prize

Even knowing full well that it ruins lives.

Hard to imagine a winner of such bucks

Decided to pass because the lottery sucks.


Whew, now everything is fine…

Of course there’s nothing mad about it.

Record gains right after stocks were routed

Are as common as a teen who forever

Loses from speech the word “whatever.”

We’re becoming immune to life’s wild gyrations

They all seem normal now in this nation.


Don’t push me, cuz I’m close to the edge

Gotta hand it to Vladimir Putin

He’s world class when it comes to lootin’.

Whatever the danger or the threat

He finds a clever way to flip and abet.

Donnie of course wants to be likewise blessed

Which explains being besties with Kanye West.


Why not?

Without malice to any other religion

And even doubting my own a smidgen,

I do believe the universe is mysterious

And big, broad thinking is not delirious.

So on this day of miracles and nice

Think about the things that make you think twice.


Definitely not fired! Probably

If you ever want to make people frightened

And force anxiety levels to be heightened

Tell them something they won’t believe

About Donnie forgetting all his pet peeves.

Then add some unexpected steps taken

On bank stability, and confidence will be shaken.


…from somewhere fabulous!

Bless this couple for seeing the folly

Of all those cards, decked with holly,

And fabulous children in high end clothes,

With Labs and Retrievers, and they want you to know

What fabulous lives they are fabulously leading,

Everything is perfect, there’s nothing for needing!


Bad planning

There’s no light side or redemption.

Planned Parenthood is no exemption.

Even those groups intended to defend

The rights of women often in the end

Turn out to betray them like the others.

“Life-work balance” is a myth for most mothers.
