Who ordered pepperoni…?

No wonder they’re having such a hard time,

And think that the hill is too steep to climb.

It looks like they’ve just walked out of their cubicles

On a break from their job selling pharmaceuticals!

This group of world leaders is not having fun.

Pizza and pop is over, go get some stuff done!

Those little, scheming…

I mean, who among us doesn’t do the same?

So it’s a little hard to cast any blame.

Still, it feels a bit like we’re being had!

They’ve evolved to guilt us for saying “Bad!”

Proof that dogs just have it going on…

Years of working the very long con!

Ungodly

One of the Lord’s most famous shticks

Was walking on water, just for kicks.

And I truly consider most dogs divine

But this photo, alas, is no such sign.

Here we see Arctic ice melting fast

Trapped atop glaciers that will not last.


Bizarro in Brazil

The nation’s image is pretty wild.

Beaches and models leave you beguiled.

But dang if the people aren’t a bit odd

(They love eating salted balls of cod)

And is this not just a bit strange maybe?

Parties to watch a c-section baby!


Perspective

It remains unclear if this is true.

With North Korea we just have no clue.

But imagine if it really happened?

Would Kim’s rep be in any way blackened?

Or would we put this episode to the side

And continue efforts to be allied?


Busting notes and barriers

My father lived with a physical handicap.

But limitations were simply not part of his rap.

It seemed to me that other dads were different

And my dad was rarely if ever vociferant.

But bless Ali Stroker and her mellifluous voice,

For helping more people have more choice.


‘Bama, ‘bortion, bull

I mean wow… For sure it’s a difficult issue.

But the discussion needs connective tissue.

What Alabama is doing is totally nuts.

For a thoughtful opinion they’re making cuts.

Who is being served by this vulgar display?

Everyone loses as we watch reason decay.


“may not…”

Can’t say it comes as much of a surprise
That Mitt Romney would at least roll his eyes
And may not give Trump his endorsement
Though we’ll have to see about enforcement.
Romney is as opportunistic as they come…
Remember Sec’y of State? That was just plain dumb.

Gratitude

Whenever the times are particularly bad,

When I’m overworked, misunderstood or sad,

I think about storming a D-Day beach

And going “once more unto the breach.”

Quite suddenly my woes seem rather small.

In fact, they rarely are any trouble at all.

Alexa in the house!

It’s bad enough, a roommate you choose…

You have to deal with their crazy views,

And often they’re late on paying their share

Or they act in ways that simply aren’t fair.

But THIS, good lord, is another level!

“Play song list for a dance with the devil.”
