America’s cities have a tough time
Just with sanitation and fighting crime,
Keeping museums open and their parks green
And always on budgets that are too lean.
So at first I thought this must be a joke
‘Cuz in New York it would make us go broke!
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…
America’s cities have a tough time
Just with sanitation and fighting crime,
Keeping museums open and their parks green
And always on budgets that are too lean.
So at first I thought this must be a joke
‘Cuz in New York it would make us go broke!

A man I respect once had this to say:
“Good reputations come from work each day.
It takes years to build one that makes you proud,
And seconds to destroy it in a crowd.”
What the hell was going on his head?
From world hero to being a dick instead.

It should not come as much of a surprise,
A politician’s life is based on lies!
Our new GOP rep from Long Island
Seems like a good guy, with a nice smile and
An impressive list of hard jobs well done…
Except none of it’s true, not even one.

The creators of Popeye gave it a go,
Trying to make spinach cool on their show.
A weakling by nature, but when he ate it
Well, all the villains would always hate it.
But now the growers have added some zip…
Eat spinach, kids, and you just might trip!

It’s impossible not to have a laugh
But for sure this is not his epitaph.
Trump sold 45 thousand NFTs
Of him as Superhero, if you please.
His fans paid 99 bucks a piece!
That tight grip on his base will never cease.

I have little patience for the whining
And all the people who are opining
That Elon is somehow breaking the law,
Squashing free speech like it’s freedom’s last straw.
HE OWNS TWITTER AND CAN DO AS HE LIKES!
Let the market decide if it tanks or it spikes.

Hear that whining coming from the workplace…
How are these people not red in the face?
Life on the job is the best that it’s been,
Yet some folks behave as if there’s a sin
Constantly being committed against them.
Suck it up and treat your work as a gem.

Was the GOP insanely clever?
‘Cuz six years ago I would have never
Been excited about Governor Ron
So maybe it’s all been a massive con.
Promote nasty Don and his crazy coup
Then anyone will seem better to you.

A problem we face on both sides of the aisle?
Lack of courage and way too much guile.
Neither party stands for anything now
And treat us taxpayers like their cash cow.
Deficits increase in good times and bad
Both parties are making me feel quite mad.

If this is true and it’s soon announced
That physicists here have finally trounced
The riddle that vexed us since time began
And have come up with a very real plan
To produce more power than what’s put in…
Well, that’s the biggest thing since Original Sin.
