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…

Cheeky Raise

We’ve known all along that the world is nuts

And that men will pay to see ladies’ butts.

So it should not come as a big surprise

That farmgirls with curves will attract some eyes.

This one has tripled her take-home pay

With the same work… in a thong every day!

Tough Loss (tee hee…!)

Winning at football requires some luck,
But it’s also important not to suck.
And man did the Cowboys suck last night…
Which for many of us was sheer delight!
Don’t know why it is that I feel so glad
When the Dallas Cowboys play so bad.

School Daze

Like anything, it’s important to learn…

So it should be no surprise to discern

That now there’s a school with its focus on

Teaching the basics when you’re really gone!

I do wonder what these classes are like

Exploring the world of enlightened psych.

Better Schedule

I wouldn’t say that there are no dangers

And I sure wouldn’t source it from any strangers

But it seems obvious to most of us

That there’s some good in weed we should discuss.

Certainly it’s in a far different group

Than those drugs which leave you dead on a stoop.

Bye Bye Belichick

The surly guru of Patriots’ fame

Sure built his success on another name…

Tom Brady carried the team to its wins

And HE had help from deflated pig skins.

Yet despite the slips and a little slime,

Together they were the best of all time.

Christie Bows Out

I’m sorry to see Chris Christie drop out

Because I sorta liked what he’s about,

Sticking with conservative policy

But without tearing down democracy.

Yet his fate is the same as all the rest

Since the GOP thinks Trump is the best.

But Still Teflon

The thing that just seems so very insane

Is that all of this simply helps him gain

More and more loyalty from all his troops

So the lower and lower that he stoops

The stronger his fan base in MAGA land…

So he’s right – there’ll be bedlam if he’s banned.

Because… of Course

Like any hero who has some powers

The strength of QAnon Shaman sours

When kept away from the important things

That give him meaning, when his soul sings…

It’s like making him wear a crown of thorns

To withhold his battle helmet and horns.

The Transformer

Of course it’s hard to raise money these days

With all the political junk and haze.

So what the GOP has decided

Is to go long on being divided

And just double down on all MAGA lies

EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT’S REALLY UNWISE…

Glass Houses

It does nothing to change the facts of the case

And Harvard has still got a very red face.

But let’s admit that it’s pretty funny

For blowhard Bill Ackman with all his money,

Who shouted out the plagiarism claim,

To discover his wife has done the same!
