It just doesn’t seem to make any sense

For news outlets (and schools!) to take offense

At doing the job they’re supposed to do

By offering up different points of view.

How petty a move by NBC News…

Give all perspectives and let viewers choose!

A trait so revered by most of the world

Is shockingly hard for those who are furled

Into its grasp, the dark side of this gift,

Rejected by peers and then sent adrift

To a life that’s lonely, isolated

From other people, and feeling hated.

Those who have dogs, well they already know

That whether or not your dog’s “Best In Show”

She will remain one of God’s greatest gifts

As you go through life and your fortune shifts.

So it’s no wonder hounds can play a role

In helping to heal any damaged soul.

Leaving aside the sensational line

Which grabs your attention, it’s pretty fine,

Tripping could be one of the things cops do

To manage the stress of living life Blue.

Don’t take it on duty! But we should see

If it helps them deal with PTSD.

For some young girls – and yes also some guys –

Barbie was awesome and could help advise

On all manner of issues that we face

And learn to approach them all with good grace.

So how about some Barbies who spent their time

Dealing with all of life’s slime and its grime…?

Well what a relief, from a trusted source!

Sightings of aliens are myths of course…

If the Pentagaon says it, then it’s true.

I mean when have they ever lied to you?

So rest at ease, there’s no space invasion!

Do you need any other persuasion?

We say goodbye to a combat veteran

Who served with honor and was better in

Making the biggest sacrifice one can

As a soldier and an American…

We think dying in battle fits that bill…

But maybe it’s when your job is to kill.

How could it be the party of Lincoln

Supports Donald Trump like it’s been drinkin’

The Kool Aid spiked with memory blockers

As he unleashes his latest shockers?

How can it ignore a guy like Mike Pence?

All GOP patriots should get off the fence.

This day seems to invite odd behavior,

Paying homage to the Irish Savior.

The drinking I get, it goes with the turf

The Irish escape from being a serf.

But what’s with green dye poured in a river?!

Why ruin the water and your liver?

It seems to be an imbalanced affair –

We do so much for them, and they don’t care.

Cats rule the roost while adding… not much!

And they’re not the ones to choose if in a clutch.

So isn’t it cool that now at long last

Cats can give something back! What a contrast…
