Up a creek

The perspective is hard to grasp at all.

Like, the Empire State Building is very tall

And this ship is as long as it stands high

Unable to dislodge it from the bank

This could make global commerce nearly tank.

A penny for your thoughts?

The amount of work that went into this

Surely makes you think something is amiss!

Who would go to such a vindictive length?

And does it seem petty or signal strength?

Whatever he did to deserve this trick,

Not sure it’s a NY thing

An unusual angle on a trend

Which truly never ever seems to end.

Men acting badly throughout all the years

Give New York governors plenty of peers.

Illinois alone has its share of worms…

Four governors in a row served jail terms!

Por supuesto!

I lived in Madrid for over a year

And a couple of things were abundantly clear.

The Spanish are merry and full of life

Their zest for good times is not short of rife.

It’s still not for certain, it’s just a “might”

Just another day…?

Families are weird that much is certain…

So maybe don’t peek behind that curtain.

And seems to me that this case is not new,

I kind of think that my mom’s crazy too!
