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…

Yeah, Life IS Good

We live in a country, best on the Earth.

Best in all history for what it’s worth.

Yet somehow some people want us to think

That things are just terrible, we’re on the brink

Of total disaster! But they’re faking…

I’m glad to see that fever is breaking.

What Goes Around Comes Around

They have long been thought of as our best friends

And too often they come to very sad ends.

So it’s nice to see these people come out

Taking a stand for our pals with a snout.

Dogs have your back and they make you driven

To be more kind and see care is given.

But What Would You Expect?

So long as we’re using silly metrics

More than debating about obstretrics

Then we can chalk this one up as a win

Since Trump will surely take it on the chin

Given his penchant for tracking the size

Of crowds (and hands) and audience eyes.

Ridiculous Miss

If Trump wants to win he must up his game,

He simply can’t give us more of the same.

There’s plenty to argue with what she said,

Real policy issues, but then instead

He makes perhaps the most ironic note…

‘Cuz ramble she didn’t, but he does by rote.

Shameless

If you leave aside all other matters –

Like, say, the law which is left in tatters

Since Arlington is fully barred from use

For political campaigns, no excuse –

And simply look at what’s in the pic…

A thumbs up in this graveyard is just sick.

“Duh” Comes to Mind

Now that both parties are equally dumb

Acting like sailors after too much rum

Spending on everything with abandon

(Trump was worse than the party of Brandon)

It’s pretty funny but no big surprise

That finally people are opening their eyes.

Unhip Hippos

Of all the legacies of Escobar

This one may be the strangest by far…

His penchant for owning crazy creatures

Was perhaps one of his nicer features

But after his death some of them went wild

The hippos got angry and are reviled.

Wrongful Interference

It’s a terrible thing what happened to Zuck

And in the end it really does suck…

Our government simply shouldn’t pressure

Companies to take any measure

That involves the public’s freedom of speech.

But companies themselves are free to preach.

In Sicily

This guy had just been fully acquitted

Of a major fraud he had committed.

His business partner died three days before,

The whole thing is suspicious to the core.

No need to sound the conspiracy horn,

But, it happened where omerta was born…

…and the Anti-Vaxxer

Politicians, well, they sway with the wind

And for sure you have to be thick-skinned.

But you’d think, or hope, that on those matters

Which are so core to them they’d be in tatters

If anything took them from their mission

That they wouldn’t so quickly change position…
