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…

Happy Anniversary!

It’s been three years and everything has changed…

The nation’s united, no one’s estranged!

Oh how nice if that were only the case

But instead we’re doing an about face.

Doubling down on the nation’s Big Lie

And eager to give Trump another try.

Foreign Aid, Trump Style!

Another crime to add to the pile!

Though no one seems to have cared for a while.

It’s serious, the emoluments clause

Protecting the nation, one of our laws.

But just like everything that he pursues

Trump couldn’t care less about who he screws.

Oh, It’s a Pickle

The Dems have now shot themselves in the foot.

Any chance for a new guy is caput.

But one thing I think they surely could do

Is replace the VP with someone new.

At least then the public would feel more at ease

Should Biden keel over and fall to his knees.

Crimson-faced

It’s not clear to me how this has become

A political issue, seems kinda dumb.

I don’t think she was brought down by a mob

Rather how did she ever get this job?!

Forget her fueling of major schism…

You’re thrown out of school for plagiarism.

Low Leada’ Express

New names are out and oh what a surprise!

Two of the best at delivering lies…

Of course it’s not new that powerful men

Take advantage of everything that they can.

But it sure isn’t wrong that we would want more

Than leaders who are so dark at the core.

Achievable Goals

Resolutions are cool, though they don’t last.

But maybe because the goals are too vast.

They typically trend towards health and splendor…

But what about going on a bender?

Or resolving to do nothing at all?!

If you want ‘em to last, then that’s the call.

Take a Deep Breath

With excitement and a little sadness

We say bye to a year filled with madness.

What more could we each have done to help out?

What did we miss? There was plenty no doubt.

But perhaps what’s best as we look ahead

Is in fact to slow down a bit instead…

I Hope So

I know that we’ve covered this topic before

But it’s definitely one we can’t ignore.

Tipping culture has gone out of control

And we have to dig ourselves out of this hole.

Pay wages to workers that are good and fair

And get tipping out of the consumer’s hair.

What’s the Problem?

I get that it may not meet certain norms

But the type of art that this guy performs

Is protected by the Constitution

So what’s with all of this persecution?

It’s not like he’s leading a sordid life…

All of the films are with his wife!

More Family Values

What is it about crazy Far Right moms

Who out in public live by all the psalms

Then in private they go fully berserk

Making it seem religion doesn’t work

With hypocrisy oozing from their souls

In a life that is clearly riddled with holes.
