It’s hard enough when things are good

And you still always feel like you should

Constantly wash and disinfect your hands

And maybe pass on seeing some bands.

Imagine now how hard it must be!

(Though some are thinking, “Told ya so, see!”)

For years they have been the brunt of fun,

But now they’ve got their time in the sun.

Of course it never hurts to fill the void

And just because you’re paranoid

Doesn’t mean bad things won’t come.

So now which of us are kind of dumb…?

Last night I had dinner with a great old friend

Who has the ability to make others bend

To most of his crazy impulses and will

Which is sort of annoying, but impressive still!

He gets big themes though can be detail-free,

Like when he agreed “these days need poetry.”

Who says these folks aren’t tough?

No matter what happens it won’t be enough

To stop the inevitable desire to see

People in clothes that neither you nor me

Could possibly wear with a straight face…

But kudos to fashion for not losing pace!

I’m glad that centrists performed so well

Though too bad Mayor Mike pretty much fell.

The path from here is much more clear

But it’s essential the Dems hold this dear:

The nation will stagnate with more division

So they had better build a broad coalition.

As compared to Americans fifty years ago
The extremely obese have grown 10 times or so.
So yes it’s a fact that we’re getting much fatter –
Too many fingers dipped in the cookie batter –
But at least it’s also very plain to see
We’ve grown intellectual curiosity… Not.

Can you imagine if this is truly our choice?
A socialist or a guy in a gold Rolls Royce…
Both are crazy in their own unique ways
And provide no help getting out of our maze.
This grand experiment that is our nation
May soon collapse in degradation.

The sirens and lights create quite a scene
As he hands over the cup you have to pee in.
“I don’t suppose you would believe
It might be hard for me to relieve
My bladder at this moment in time…
It’s brewing another Corona and lime!”

In case Florida had too few attractions

Some folks there took unusual actions…

I can’t say that it’s exactly clear to me

Why monkeys with herpes are fun to see.

But there they are, and we now need a hero

Since the chance of human infection is “not zero.”

Jobs disappear for many reasons
Sometimes they’re tied to the seasons,
Or a new technology can take its course
Like when the car replaced the horse.
But dang it hurts when you get the sense
You can be replaced by fake intelligence.
