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…

No Time To Die

America’s evil and it should DIE!

But maybe four years from now, and here’s why…

See first I need help paying off my loans

Or else I’ll never keep up with the Jones.

It’s not like I chose to go to this school!

So pay up, then die, yeah that would be cool.

Make My Day

When I think back on all of my teachers

And contemplate their good and bad features

I’m having some trouble seeing the fun

In letting these people carry a gun…

Oh gee Miss Nagle what’s that on your hip?

A nickel plate Glock and an extra clip…?

It’s All Falling Apart

It’s hard to determine what is the worst…

Because it sure feels like the world’s been cursed.

First we have dentists who’re going viral,

Which by itself means we’re in a bad spiral.

And then the message is no need to brush?!

Next plumbers will tell us don’t bother to flush.

Yeah, a Cat Fight, but…

I mean, when you write a poem every day

Sometimes you’re not fully sure what to say.

So though I wrote about this thing before

I decided that I’d come back for more.

Taylor versus Kim? You must be joking!

Kim is a fake while Taylor is smoking.

Due Respect

So sure it took much longer than needed

But in the end democracy succeeded.

Well done Mike Johnson for doing what’s right

And to Joe Biden too, who won the fight.

That’s America at its very best…

Dialogue then action, despite protest.

The Diss is Real

TS has become my favorite rock star.

Her songs are great and oh man she’s gone far.

But here’s the most important thing to me –

She and I share a view others don’t see.

Kim is a joke! How’d this ever unfold?

She’s a story that never should have been told.

How to Houdini

There’s little that is more tedious than

Being stuck in a conversation when

You realize it’s among the most boring

You’ve ever had! So before you start snoring

You need a good clever way to get out

Without them knowing what it’s all about.

WhyWork

This is the guy who made it all happen

Building huge hype, but hiding the gap in

The reality of the business’s health

And his massive collection of personal wealth.

Let him have it if he wants it all back

And can find investors who aren’t on crack.

Separate but Unequal

Salary discussions can be pretty tough

No matter the industry, they are rough.

Let’s get to equal pay for equal work…

It doesn’t really seem all that berserk.

Yes, market demand will play a big part

But these gaps are too crazy a place to start.

Take the Win

A stunning reversal in murder rates

Could maybe impact the political fates

Of Donnie and Joe and all their cronies

Riding wobbly atop their ponies…

Not sure the president can take credit

But had it been worse they’d say he led it.
