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…

Bad Odds for the Future

In what turned out to be a good debate

With policy and vision on the plate

Discussed in a manner that’s becoming

Of global leaders, not mindless drumming,

The next generation just rolled its eyes…

A pretty strong signal of our demise.

One a VC, One a Teacher

So as it turns out I‘ve actually been both

And if I were asked to swear under oath

Which of the two makes you better prepared

To be in a debate, nationally aired

I’d have to go with being a teacher…

It makes you a pretty hardened creature.

Veritas Hurts

Fat rich and lazy? They don’t work too hard?
Yeah, sounds like the crew up in Harvard Yard.
The endowment is dropping like a rock.
Turns out it’s harder than being a jock.
So perhaps they know that returns are frail…
But what matters to them… are they beating Yale?

Venus, Mars… Right?

It’s nothing new that we don’t think alike
But it seems that things are starting to spike.
In almost every bucket of life
There is an increasing sense of strife.
Is it a pendulum and will it turn?
Or will it grow into a greater concern?

Bad Headline, Good Idea

The premise here is not quite how it seems
The company will not realize its dreams
Hiring the youngest, greenest of all
That, most likely, will end in a bad fall.
Rather go find one who worked her way through
From intern on up, she’ll have the best view.

Body Shaming the Bears

Before they go into hibernation
Bears can give in to any temptation.
They can eat and drink to their hearts’ content
Then they’ll sleep it all off, that’s the intent.
How embarrassing if they were to learn
The world is watching at every turn.

Respecting the Law

A federal indictment is a big deal,

And I’m sure Mayor Adams will appeal.

An interesting note in this episode

Is that the Left has not mindlessly flowed

To his defense screaming it’s all fake news…

If crimes were committed then pay the dues.

It’s Not the Haitians…

When it comes to killing your neighbor’s pet

Blaming the Haitians is not a safe bet.

Better to look at all those who accuse,

And there we can find some revealing news.

The chief dude who designed this far-right plan

May himself be a dog-killing madman.

And Then They A-Woke

The pendulum swings to either extreme
And usually generates some funny meme.
But it always swings back when it’s gone too far
And with the woke movement that’s where we are.
Let’s speak about policy and hear how that sounds
Rather than focusing on our pronouns.

Whoa! Was He Just Normal?

Being stable is not really his brand
Though it might help if he’s ruling the land.
Here he sounds like a thoughtful real guy
The problem is it just seems like he’s high.
But at least he’s on the record for saying
He won’t run again… but just in case I’ll keep praying.
