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…

20 years ago this month

“W” launched a controversial war

No weapons were found in Saddam’s sock drawer!

But he also launched the program PEPFAR

Which by any account is a shining star.

He fought AIDS head on and gets no high fives…

But saved 25 million peoples’ lives.

Deep too

Oh gee what a surprise we have found here!

Coercion! Misogyny! It would appear…

The cesspool at Fox truly does smell foul

It’s even made Rupert curl lips and growl.

Producers it sacrificed need to vent

And let the world know how deep the sh!t went.

A reservation awaits thee

The hottest most fiery spot in Hell

With brimstone and ash and a lava well

Is waiting for this pugnacious disgrace

With all his vile lies and MAGA face.

Of course he’s moving his assets away

And laughing about it… pure moral decay.

Timely topic!

Ok, so yes I’ve reached that stage of life

When talk of Florida is crazy rife.

Everyone’s moving there for the warm sun

And so grandkids will visit and have some fun.

But does it really always turn out great…?

What if it’s actually a terrible fate?!

Not the only ones…

As SVB was colliding with doom

You can be sure that all folks in the room,

No matter what the color of their skin,

Were worried they would take it on the chin.

Yes, it’s certain that the state of “concern”

Was not tied to color you could discern.

Choosing sides

I know it’s not really part of their brand

But it seems to me a bit out of hand

That the world and our allies all condemn

Vladimir Putin and his evil mayhem

But in America what’s going on

Is that he’s loved by Trump and also Ron.

‘Cuz, ethics, you know

If there’s one thing we know Donnie’s about

It’s following rules! There can be no doubt.

He’s committed to a strict moral code

In everything he did that always showed!

So this is of course just squarely on brand.

Unethical Ron! Yup, that is Trump’s stand.

Well, you’re wrong

It seems to me this woman is crazy

Deluded, misguided, judgment hazy.

How, what, I mean is this truly for real?

Could anyone think that’s an ok deal?

She says it’s cool, the men are not married…

At least they don’t have vows to be carried.

Serious leaders better step up

There are three issues in the GOP

The first is whether Ukraine should be free

The second involves the Left being “woke”

The third is treatment of the Jan 6 folk.

Hard to take serious those who insist

The second will make us cease to exist.

Not a good look

The US Feds have done just what they should

Protecting deposits is very good

For the health of the nation and regular folks

It’s not some crazy political hoax.

But with BARNEY FRANK on Signature’s board

That really is news that has me floored.
