Did No One See Rocky IV?

These types of fights usually do not end well

A gaudy spectacle to the last bell.

And though it’s sad to see old Mighty Mike

Entering the ring and not able to strike

Still I believe that despite all his flaws

His was by far the more noble cause.

Oh, I GET It…

The world is messy and complicated

So if you happen to feel elated

By cleaning things up wherever one goes

Then this fantasy game with a power hose

Will give you endless hours of joy…

It’s so much more than an electric toy.

Consequential Er, Election

The people have spoken! But if men knew
That this might happen, what would they do?
Imagine if this was actually done
There’s simply no way that Trump would have won.
There’s no way any candidate could win!
The fiercest play since original sin.

Say Hello to My Little Friend

You may remember Kristi from the spring

When she thought that she was kissing Trump’s ring

By boasting about her use of a gun

On a pet dog that had nowhere to run.

We’ll be in good hands if she packs a round

And blasts terrorists like she did that hound.

Like in 2020…

Democracy’s hard when it yields results

That aren’t what you want and sort of insults

Your sense of justice about what is right

But that’s our system! Don’t put up a fight

Against the structure that’s flawed but still works…

Whining about it is only for jerks.

Take It Easy

As the rest of the world kind of goes mad

This elephant in Berlin feels kinda glad.

All she needs is a hose with some pressure

To give her spirits a good refresher.

Emerson preached it as well for us all..

Life is best lived when you keep pleasures small.

Is Anyone Tempted?

So you’re in Carolina and you see

A bizarre little guy, it’s a monkey!

I wonder what your reaction would be

But what you would not do, it seems to me

Is decide to give it a big bear hug…

The New Yorker in me would see it and shrug.

One Victory for All

Now that it’s over and people take stock

And half of the country deals with its shock

There is one thing that brings us together

And can strengthen that slim little tether

That keeps us from going off of the rails…

Finally an end to those texts and emails!

Like, Always…

I see it sometimes in how people move

Projecting confidence, deep in their groove.

It makes me wonder if it’s for real

The way that they so easily deal.

So do people like that really exist?

Why yes, that would be a narcissist!

Too Flawed Candidates

Results are in and the gloating begins

Which both parties do no matter who wins…

To me we had candidates, both with flaws

And the one with more of them has in his jaws

A decisive victory, the people have spoken.

But that’s America, the system’s not broken.
