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…

Perhaps the media could spend more time

Focusing a little bit less on crime

And showcasing these stories of our cops

Which make us all want to give them big props.

It’s such nonsense to think that we could live

Without all the good work that these folks give.

And How About That?

Given the severity of life now

I’d like politicians to find a way how

To discuss all issues as if they were

As important as vets and not defer

Critical topics, strategic designs…

And not just object along party lines.

Maybe…?!

It’s hard to imagine what’s in the mind

Of anyone who would feel so inclined

To share their innermost thoughts from the past,

The delicate diary of an outcast,

With the entire world, watching Tik Tok!

Hard to know who’s in for a bigger shock.

Right Idea, But…

As a general rule, I really do love

The idea that we simply can’t shove

Brand new expenses into our budget

Unless we sit down and really judge it

And find a way to meet new expenses…

But please not one which defies all senses.

Then Go to Jail

If you break the law you should go to jail.

It’s not such a stretch or far off the rail.

So let’s not whine about party issues

Spare me the crying, go get some tissues.

Left or right… screw up and go to the yard.

Why in the world is this concept so hard?

I’m Screwed

It seems that creatures similar to us

Go about their lives with a lot less fuss.

They’re sleeping for almost half of the day

Which seems like it could be a pretty sweet way

Of handling stress and building powers…

While I only sleep about five hours.

And Here We Go…

The moment anyone on any side

Tolerates things they just shouldn’t abide,

Be it people or speech, it doesn’t matter,

You’ve lost the cause and your morals scatter.

When it excused MAGA the Right was doomed.

With this, the Left’s downfall is being groomed.

For a Soundbite

Our new Speaker of the House had a day!

With childish plans that are meant this way:

Who cares about the real problems at hand

When you have such a great chance to grandstand?

His plan would lose money but make a mess

For Dems on Israel and the IRS.

RIP Chandler Bing

Quick with a line and keen observation

Fun Matthew Perry obsessed a nation.

And though he struggled with many demons

Throughout all his fame and TV seasons

He always seemed honest and open to

Trying to help himself… We’re gonna miss you.

Bud Dark

If you don’t know the story, good for you!

So Bud Light ran into a sales issue

When it started to market in a way

That its customers thought was a bit gay.

But rather than defend all people’s rights,

They have now sponsored all UFC fights.
