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…

Still, It’s Incredible

Amid all the war and the disaster

The doom and the gloom, on the broadcaster

There are pockets of wonder on the Earth

Which we cannot forget, for they give birth

To what is possible, a sense of hope

A way for us all to live life and cope.

Could Be Worse

Given the way most campaigns are now run…

At least George Santos was out having fun!

I’d rather these people spent campaign dough

On Botox and porn and even some blow

Than on telling lies and misinformation

And causing the downfall of our great nation.

Not So Different

If you’re a kingpin you might have odd taste

To offset the challenges that you’ve faced.

But I can’t say the first thing that comes to mind

Would be collecting hippos and then to find

That all they really wanted to do

Was eat, drink and sleep, and then just screw…

Juveniles in the House

Following the exploits of all these guys

Leads me to a place that is no surprise.

Our leadership has folded and given way

To their childish instincts every day.

Greedy and self-serving and full of gall

They even smack each other in the hall…

In Short, No

It’s a real problem, I see it a lot

People eating gross things or smoking pot

Or wearing their backpacks, way oversized

Or playing loud music, that’s ill-advised.

Whether on the subway or above ground

It seems common sense is nowhere to be found.

Unintended Consequences

This is a pattern, like much about tech…

They don’t think it through, and then it’s a wreck.

What did they think that Trump would deliver?

Smart policy as the business caregiver?

Instead they created a wrecking ball,

And now just move on and dismiss it all…

Star Wars

The sixth and newest military branch

Our Space Force came under an avalanche

Of bad jokes and derision when announced

(I myself may have seen humor and pounced…)

But it turns out there’re crazy things in space

And it’s become a militarized place.

Power of Marketing

The call to action is pretty hard core

Get these gifts now or they’ll be out the door!

Hurry, hurry! There’s just no time to wait…

And demand for them all will not abate.

They’re the hottest gifts, you must get this done!

Except for the fact they’re from ’21…

Make Republicans Great Again

It’s amazing to see what they’ve become…

Yes, actually calling each other scum!

Not that I by any means disagree

Since it’s pretty plain for the world to see.

But having them say it in the debate

Sure highlights the fact they’re no longer great.

Lose Lose

For sure it’s scary that we’ve come to this

If I had my druthers we’d take a miss

On having to vote for either of them

The criminal Trump or the aging Dem.

If we’re given the choice between the two

It will feel a bit like our Waterloo…
