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…

This IS America

Trump rarely mutters, it’s just not his style.

But it happens every once in a while.

After he left the court the other day

He had things on his mind, and what did he say?

“This is not America” softly passed his lips

But he uses lawsuits like poker chips.

Another One Bites the Dust

The Boeing Max helped tarnish a great brand

What was America’s best, at its last stand.

Harvard is the same for education…

It was once the best in all the nation.

But sadly things are not the same today

It really seems to have lost its way.

Open New Doors

This winter we moved to a new location
Pretty much in the heart of Trump Nation.
We have great friends, though they don’t share our view
Even when we go out and have had a few…

But food, fun and wine reduce the uproar

And the best place for that is The Blue Door!

Social Media Maze

How big a difference between mice and men?

We both seek the cheese, again and again.

But we also do some things that surprise

As we search and search for all of life’s highs.

Mice, like we, enjoy some self-promo!

I wonder if they also get FOMO…?

Ok, Sometimes Back Down

His Super PAC’s name was Never Back Down

Which let’s face it makes him look like a clown…

But his campaign never got any traction

As he went all in with the anti-woke faction.

So did the voters want a bit more meat?

Or is anyone other than Trump obsolete?

Check Your Work

I hope before they go far down the road
They take the time to do a full download
Of all of her work and conduct a search
Which ensures Yale will not clumsily lurch
Into all the dark academic lairs

Filled with folks who claim work which is not theirs.

Bad Press

Call me unhinged about how the press works
But it’s truly run by a bunch of jerks.
Look at this headline and tell me your view…
Is there equivalency between these two?
“Cleared of rape”?! That’s extremely big news!
But still guilty for his video views…

Musk Meets His Match

Elon has a way of bending the norms

But in Sweden they’re calling for reforms.

Whatever it is that they do not like

They’ve mobilized workers to go on strike.

The unions have so much dough it appears

They can be on strike for five hundred years!

Fat Chance

The data should come as no big surprise

That in the land of fatty foods and fries

The percentage of people overweight

Continues to increase at a fast rate.

To reduce what they put into their mouth

These drugs are just booming throughout the South.

But Wasn’t…?

When it comes to Pope Francis, I’m a fan

Yet sometimes he slips, he’s a mortal man!

Seems to me that his position on this

Is pretty much of a slightly odd miss…

Remember the birth, all meek and mild…

Wasn’t Jesus Christ a surrogate child?!
