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…

Let’s Not Be Great?

I look very hard but can hardly see

Much of value left in the GOP.

Those still with morals seem to have no spine

And almost all of them constantly whine

About how bad our great country became

When their loss of dignity is the shame.

Little Terrorists

It’s a bold move that will sure rock the boat

Of all those parents who constantly dote

On children who act like psychotic freaks

And don’t use any parental techniques.

I love this measure and hope that it sticks!

People can’t let their kids be little pricks.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Aside from the moderates’ total collapse

And the possibility that perhaps

This same man who voted against free will,

Rejecting an election… even still

There’s no need to worry, this will be fun

Since he’s the guy in charge of the next one.

What Could Have Been

Liz voted with Trump nearly all the time

So why was she pegged with GOP slime?

She supported policies that they want

And she was a strong right wing commandant.

But, well, then she called bullshit on Jan 6…

And got punished! So now we’re in this fix.

A Real Savior!

Who would have thought that indeed we agree?

Hard to imagine between Trump and me!

But he thinks that the only candidate

For Speaker of the House with any weight

Is Jesus Christ! No that is not a joke…

Which kind of proves the GOP is broke.

Shame, Where Have You Gone?

I miss shame. It seems it has disappeared.

People stay straight-faced even when they’re smeared

As the truth comes out about their behavior

Lie upon lie in the guise of the savior.

The message? If you feel shame you’re a chump.

And it pretty much started with Donald Trump.

Can You Imagine?

There are few things worse than losing your home.

A lifetime destroyed, and you have to roam.

It happens in war zones and disasters

And makes people lean more on their pastors.

But you wouldn’t expect, on vacation,

Your house gets destroyed to the foundation.

Go To Hell

Few people in the world make me more mad

Than this sorry sap who’s much more than bad.

It’s one thing to profit from self-aggrandizement

Promoting yourself like an advertisement

That’s bad enough and can cause upheaval

But what Alex Jones does is pure evil.

“Anonymously Signed a Letter…”

Please pardon me for asking, but, um, WHAT?

This sounds like it came from someone’s butt.

Being so distraught by our human crimes

They scribed “anonymous” 400 times!

“Anonymously signed” makes as much sense

As a massive imaginary fence.

Not Bad for an Old Guy

So in any given situation

It’s probably worth asking the nation

Well what would have been a better response?

And you can’t accept any nonchalance.

How could Biden’s response have been better?

Or did he nail it to the letter?
