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…

Should We Care?

Conspiracy theories can be consequential

And debunking them is also essential.

This one might be more than a bubble

Since for the first time Trump’s having trouble

Making it all just go away…

Even MAGA thinks this is not okay.

Clocks

What sort of clowns would go out to a show

When they sorta don’t want anyone to know

That even though they’re both on the job

They’re kind of an item, a real heartthrob?

If only they could turn all the clocks back…

The world wouldn’t know they’ve been in the sack.

Black at School

When the mainstream anything lets you down

You try to find other games in town.

Homeschools are filled with extremely bright kids

But if not served well, they’ll hit the skids.

They should see success and be given a map

And not have to deal with this racist crap.

Get Some Rest

I’m first to admit that I need more sleep

It’s not very healthy the hours I keep…

But rarely do I go off on a bender

Posting like mad in order to render

Change in the world, maybe good maybe bad

These guys don’t seem stable… but pretty mad.

Art of the U-Turn

Of course it can come as no big surprise

That no matter what is before his eyes

Trump will still only see what he wants

So now he’s out saying that Putin’s taunts

Are just not like him and totally new!

Trump was his useful idiot through and through.

He’s Baaaack

In a move surprising exactly no one
Andrew Cuomo has rejoined the fun.
Perhaps the two party system is dead
And this is the best way to move ahead.
Who knows what happens in the big picture
But change is coming to the old fixture.

Into Your Heart It Will Creep

Paranoia strikes deep, or so we are told

And even though that song is pretty old

It seems to hold true in the White House today

Where fear of the Deep State is here to stay.

But just because you’re a paranoid crew

Doesn’t mean they’re not out get you…

So What’s Changed?

Voters surely can be a tricky lot.
What’s true today… tomorrow maybe not.
We needed to tighten it up no doubt
But being cruel is not what we’re about.
Add to that a work force that’s lazy?
And ending immigration is just crazy.

Inevitable Outcomes

Whether or not this is technically true

There can be little doubt they’re in a stew.

Sooner or later tragedy will strike

When resources dwindle and there’s a spike

In emergencies that need our support

And government comes up woefully short.

We’re Progressive!

We live in an age when the fatal flaw

Of a headline like this is that you saw

Experts providing their considered views

And as we now know, all “experts” just ooze

Arrogance as they prep their next lie…

Much better to let our young people die.
