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…

Up Against A Wall

More interesting news out of the Far East,

Where two workers thought the Wall was a beast.

And the idea that they landed on

Had been done before by only Genghis Khan…

They punched a hole in the wall! Went straight through.

Cut their commute time in half, more fun too!

And Everyone Gets A Medal

Dictatorships aren’t very often soft

And ideas that come from a woke loft

Are rarely the ones that would be embraced

As their core new policy, broadly based.

So perhaps China is less of a threat

If it puts chips down on this crazy bet…

Yes, Actually, It Was

Enrique was sentenced to 22 years

And decades more were handed to his peers

For seditious conspiracy – it’s a crime

And among the worst, could be death if not time.

All the fake patriots who said it’s a lie

Like Tucker here, should be hung out to dry.

…In Mysterious Ways

Joe Rogan has had some troubling words

About God and faith – he thinks they are turds…

But of late he has had a bit of a turn

And seems to suggest he’s got something to learn.

He usually tries to follow the facts

But some things in life call for spiritual acts.

Lessons From Burning Man

Amid the natural disasters we’ve seen

Now there is this, and I have to come clean…

While I don’t wish harm to any at all

The self-impressed folks who are in this squall

Could likely do with some things going wrong

To have a sense for how most get along.

Latter Day Writers

One of the things I love is to be surprised.

Predictable life… well it’s just not sized

To fit the way I think of the world.

So “Mormon fantasy lit” has just hurled

Me into a place of great satisfaction.

Let’s go Joe Smith! I hope it gets traction.

Cheeseburgers, and Jimmy Too

We’ve lost a great one with today’s sad news.

Parrotheads will all be singing the blues.

Buffet created a brand new style

Which really focused on making you smile.

I hope he’s enjoying a margarita on ice

And singing his tunes up in Paradise…

Do Not Collect $200

His supporters are fleeing like the rats

Off ships that are sinking, and you know that’s

Just fine from my perspective, since this guy

Is largely to blame for pushing The Lie

Which was done with only one thing in mind –

His own personal gain. I can’t stand his kind…

Standing Firm

Hats off to the Gov in this tight southern state

For refusing to bite at this bad bait.

Pressure had mounted from the GOP

To can Fani Willis but he didn’t agree.
He’s famously held his ground before

And I’m sure there’ll be times he must do so more.

Go Directly To Jail

This guy upended the entire lives

Of these hard working ladies while he connives

To fool all people into believing

Trump won the election but he’s just cleaving

To any power and relevance he can.

He should be locked up, an evil old man.
