Cheerleading has always seemed like a sport

Whose participants are forever sold short.

Their stunts are exceptional and very hard!

Often so dangerous that many are barred.

They work the sidelines of another game

But really deserve their very own fame.

Hang on, wait just one second here…

Do they mean to say this wasn’t clear?

Of course the figures seem pretty stark

But was anyone at all really in the dark?

They say that money can’t buy you love

But it can give the Grim Reaper a little shove.

The other two evils were poverty and war

Which were then linked to racism at the core.

Martin Luther King was an extraordinary man

A leader who said little works, but love can.

Some choose to criticize him for his imperfection

But he championed the hope of human connection.

The candidate pool keeps compressing

And sadly the news remains depressing.

Everyone is focused on just beating Trump

But victory comes not from defeating this chump.

Winning America is the task at hand

Solving people’s problems across the land.

Several scientists have been known to say

We use just 2 percent of our brain in a day.

They speculate that one afternoon

The rest of the brain might bend a spoon!

But what a waste that would be, a cranial crime

When all that good energy could make a rhyme…

My bias is deep with piercing torque

What can I say, I’m from New York…

The Red Sox and Patriots and their stars

Are definitely not any friends of ours.

I can’t say they suck, because they do not

But cheating DOES suck and they do it a lot!

We seem burdened by a difficult past,

With the hostage crisis still an overcast.

But clearly Iranians are eager for change

And perhaps it wouldn’t be so strange

To let them know that they’re not alone

Rather than kill their general with a drone.

Internships are similar around the world.

You deal with everything that you’re hurled.

Usually it takes a good week or two

Before you even know who is who.

So now this kid has set the bar high!

Yeah, just find a new planet in the sky…

The Commander in Chief had a sore heel

And gave some doctor a very good deal

To keep him out of the military draft –

Which most would agree is pure graft.

Without mandatory conscription for all

Declaring war is a moral squall.

Yup, it can cause some problems for sure.

Drinking at its worst can be the lure

For people to do things remarkably dumb

And make their brains go utterly numb.

But before we say it’s fully depraved,

How many lives has alcohol saved…?
