Perhaps it’s true this overstates the case
But it’s a notion not hard to embrace.
This is about a great poet’s last stance
As he fights for his life, with little chance.
Poetry is helping him as he dies
Make sense of his life before his demise.
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…
Perhaps it’s true this overstates the case
But it’s a notion not hard to embrace.
This is about a great poet’s last stance
As he fights for his life, with little chance.
Poetry is helping him as he dies
Make sense of his life before his demise.

On the one hand it’s nice to have it all done
Since there’s stress at Christmas, as well as fun.
But it’s also sad, one more marker has passed…
Who knows the number before it’s our last?
But maybe the bright side of Boxing Day…
It can stand for a blockage taken away.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!
Baby Jesus has arrived and it’s great.
With carols and egg nog and proper feasts
And a touch of reverence from pious priests.
But for all, no matter whom you pray to
I hope you’re happy and peace be with you.

Stay At Home Girlfriends? You must be joking.
Or perhaps it needs a little poking…
They’re young and attractive and… stay at home,
With a focus on their beauty syndrome.
Perhaps the word SAHG offers more discretion,
But isn’t it just the oldest profession?

For those not familiar with Festivus
It’s the holiday “for the rest of us!”
Born on Seinfeld it’s for any of you
Who don’t think of themselves as Christian or Jew.
Clever reference on the part of Rand Paul
Though my grievance with him stands pretty tall.

To me this is just a terrible choice
We really need the Supreme Court’s voice.
No matter the outcome in lower court
Both sides will appeal as a last resort.
Just do it now and save us frustration
And help to stabilize a torn nation.

It’s gone too far and it’s so sad to say
But now this lady’s just a shade of grey…
Once the bulwark for excellence in the news
The Grey Lady was known for thoughtful views.
Now it barks things out with a lefty curse
While “Both Side” Op Eds just make things worse.

Of course we’d rather have voters decide
Although that on its own can’t override
Our actual laws and Constitution.
So Trump needs to face fair prosecution.
Before he’s banned and there’s MAGA fury
Some questions need answers from a jury.

It’s a little vague, what this really means…
But it’s pretty good news for all Catholic queens.
It’s not a marriage, so no wedding vows
But for the first time the church now allows
Acceptance of couples who aren’t cisgen
A massive step forward Lord knows since when!

The MAGA grip is just so crazy tight
The GOP seems to have lost all sight.
Yes it’s far out and a lot can still happen
But with numbers like this they should be tappin’
Nikki’s appeal to the broad-based center
And get rid of their crazy Orange Tormentor.
