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…

True Love

In many homes the compromise would be

That the family would go buy that RV!

So kudos to these guys for finding a way

To get to a place that’s beyond okay

Where motivations aren’t secretly cloaked

And everyone involved seems pretty stoked.

Harsh but True (and funny!)

The New York Post is simply money
When it comes to headlines that are funny…

Leaving aside whether they’re right or wrong

They bust out of the box, news in a song.

Alas, Nikki’s chances are awfully frail,

Playing to the hope Trump ends up in jail.

To Help Persuade…?

Okay, well what this news is telling me

Is that more guys will say sexuality

Is truly required to make ends meet!

Providing a home and good meals to eat…

I mean, you gotta be smart, sharp in the head

So baby let’s go, let’s hop into bed!

Mama Bear

1989, oh yes what a year…

When the Japanese were instilling fear

Into the corridors of US might

Because they were buzzing at a lofty height.

But oh how the mighty can take a fall!

It took 34 years to recover it all…

Lost

Legitimate complaints about Slow Joe

Can and should be on every TV show.

But to fawn over Russia and its state

And discount all the things that make us great

Isn’t the province of any hero

Just that of a selfish modern-day Nero.

The Secret…

Stay busy! Be active! And have good genes.

Exercise a lot and eat all your greens.

Have many passions and spend time outdoors

Don’t waste any air engaging with bores.

Enjoy your life with friends, family and home.

And needless to say you should write a poem…

As If MAGA Cares

It is a true crime what this group has done

At the bidding of Trump, who said he won

When he knew he did not, but is so weak

That he’d rather lie and let havoc wreak

Across this country he’s tried to destroy

For his personal gain, an insecure boy.

They Probably Wouldn’t

I wonder how this messaging would go…

“Be cool everyone, but you need to know

Life as we know it is about to end!”

You gotta think that would certainly send

The world into chaos, all order blown.

No message will come, it might already be known…

Artificial Home Envy

A.I. is taking the whole world by storm

And changing what we had thought was the norm

In all facets of life that are complex

From writing copy to having sex…

So it should come as no great surprise

That homes are also part of this guise.

Saw that Movie

Call it one of those things that doesn’t seem right
A whole city of apes, with what oversight?
They will outnumber the humans two to one
And there could be times when that’s not so fun…
I mean, the movies are out there, we’ve seen the plot
This could really end badly in Satan’s Lot!
