Pessimists are never disappointed
Even if their noses are disjointed.
What’s the upside thinking things are okay?
It doesn’t sell news or make people pray.
But perhaps it gives the best gift of all…
Hope! Which is something we need above all.
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…
Pessimists are never disappointed
Even if their noses are disjointed.
What’s the upside thinking things are okay?
It doesn’t sell news or make people pray.
But perhaps it gives the best gift of all…
Hope! Which is something we need above all.

So I kinda get their worship of cows
And if that’s what you’re into, the poverty vows.
But can’t say it all really makes much sense
When mixed in with the prayers and the incense
The Dalai Lamai himself, highest on the rung,
Suggests to a boy that he suck his tongue…

Headlines can never give us the full jist
No doubt there’s background that shouldn’t be missed.
But suffice it to say that in this case
Two men with big guns were in the same space
By accident or not one of them died
It wouldn’t have happened without guns at their side.

Without knowing or guessing who’s at fault
Can anyone take this with a grain of salt?
Both the right and the left should be outraged,
A war on global security has been waged.
But will we condemn this act of treason?
Not if we find a partisan reason…

So Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
Has made the nation a solemn promise:
A man of the people with modest taste!
Or maybe he really is just two-faced.
Gifts on private jets and luxury yachts…
Never mind the glaring ethical knots.

Of course they’re not as bad off as they think!
They’re coddled and pampered, they’re a weak link.
All the trophies for just showing up at a race
Doesn’t matter if they all came in last place!
Oh boo hoo, things are all totally bad!
Well maybe they should decide to be glad.

It’s a big news day, that much is certain
With plenty of prizes behind the curtain.
But as MAGA nation rallies its crew
The biggest story is a different coup.
Finland has joined the NATO Alliance
A message to Putin of defiance.

So the right honorable MTJ
Has come to New York this historic day
To flaunt her support for ‘ole DJT
And kinda celebrate his criminal spree!
Quite a far cry from New York’s team of Reps…
Not that they won’t go endorse his missteps.

All businesses do what they have to do
To make ends meet, and sure some profit too.
But codes are broken, both moral and more,
When they have a mission that they ignore.
News companies MUST fact check all their news!
Irrespective of their audience’s views.

So here’s a new trend that’s just “taking off”
It involves food and clothes and breaking off
Inhibitions and a resistance to
Social norms which create a distance to
Our innocence and appreciation
Of incredible food… and flirtation?
