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…

Or Not

This MAGA doll thought it would likely be best

For women to pass and just take a rest

From the hassles of office, leave it to men.

Nor should they vote, she said time and again.

Well, those thoughts could put her in a bind…

But a girl has the right to change her mind!

Bad Process

It’s not often I’m aligned with RFK

But on this matter I have to say

Highly processed foods are so unhealthy

And largely consumed by those who aren’t wealthy.

We need to crack down on them that’s for sure

But also need an affordable cure.

Holy Hunks

If you believe the church is disconnected

Then one of the ways that can be corrected

Is by paying attention to real life

And not just focusing on all the strife.

Maybe this is a bit heavy handed

But so far attendance has expanded…

Will They Hold?

How resilient are we, that’s the question…

Since even though we have indigestion

Are guardrails holding despite the onslaught

Of anti-democracy action and thought?

A thousand cuts seem like an awful lot

But I’m sure they can happen on the spot.

We Better Have Options

This seems like a frightening situation

That part of the defense of our nation

Is dependent on minerals from China…

The sort of news that gives you angina.

Seems like they have a crafty hand to play

If punitive tariffs don’t go away.

Surf’s Pup

In case you missed this amazing event

You should have a look under the tent…

The world’s best surfers all met on the beach

Each one convinced the crown was in reach.

Alas the champion must stand alone

But all these contestants deserve a bone!

Not Scary at All

Perhaps you’re thinking “Sure, but I’m safe.

All this AI, it’s a bit of a chafe.”

And maybe you think it can’t come for you…

But I’d say be careful with what you do.

It already controls more than we know

And might find it convenient to see you go.

Shooting the Messenger

Everyone says you just shouldn’t do it

But Trump is one who always says screw it!

Don’t like the news? Well it sure ain’t his fault

It’s time to go on a massive assault!

You’d think this would worry the GOP…

But nope! Not the slightest controversy.

Dealing with the Devil

A good rule of thumb when you do a deal

That will pretty much make you have to kneel

In front of the Devil and kiss his ring

Is to have all of your team members bring

Their razor sharp minds to give you a bump…

But this dude looks just like Eric Trump.

A Sugar Daddy, No?

This is not a word I’ve heard of before
But what it describes is a thing of lore.
Rich dudes get lovers, the story is old
Now there’s new way for it to be told.
Go to an app and claim your position
Be it rich or seeking or in transition.
