One of the things that makes the world fun

Is when something unexpected is done.

And when that something includes a few rhymes

Well, then you’re in for some really good times…

What a fabulous Navy tradition

To add to its otherwise serious mission.

Oh it’s so easy to sulk and to whine

To say that we’re teetering on a fine line

That all of the world is going to Hell

And we’ve fallen under some wicked spell.

And that’s true. BUT, it’s not all damnation…

There’s also a world of inspiration.

Experts can often be real annoying.

Caught up in their facts and not employing

Language that makes them understood

While wagging a finger and saying “you should…”

I think that’s a habit they better quit,

The future might really depend on it.

I once ran ten of them over the summer

Most people thought that was dumb or dumber.

But I enjoyed it and just thought “Why not?”

I thought I may as well see what I got.

Then I met a guy who did ten in ten days!

And now this?! It doesn’t cease to amaze…

It’s not just because he’s from my hometown
Tom Suozzi’s on point, he’s not some clown.

Stop with all of the blanket resistance

And instead use focus and persistence

To find solutions to things that matter.

Trump won for a reason, and he’s the Mad Hatter.

There’s much to consider as the year ends

Whether with old acquaintances or new friends…

A year so many dumb things came to pass

It’s sure hard to name the biggest jackass.

Next year will surely be hard on our nerves

Thank God we have huge tequila reserves.

We say goodbye to a truly good man.

His years as President did not go to plan

But the things he did after – and before –

Made life better for millions, if not more.

His greatest achievements are hard to select…

But even drew kind words from the President-Elect.

You don’t really want to feel like you’re hiding

But since all “news” sources are so deriding

And patently false, I don’t see the point

Of letting it knock your nose out of joint.

Choose what matters to you, then help that cause…

And do it for honor, not for applause.

The obsession with data is immense

Measuring everything, it gets intense.

I’ve never really warmed up to the trend

Seems like added stress with a small dividend.

Until now, that is, with this sexy news!

Data’s debut as a lover’s muse…

What often is lost in religious debate

Is that Jews and Christians share the same great

God in Heaven, but how they disagree

Is whether Jesus is also the deity.

So it’s nice when holidays overlap

And we’re able to shorten this Godly gap.
