Politicians, well, they sway with the wind

And for sure you have to be thick-skinned.

But you’d think, or hope, that on those matters

Which are so core to them they’d be in tatters

If anything took them from their mission

That they wouldn’t so quickly change position…

The world’s oldest person just passed away

And was pretty active to her last day.

Born in America and raised in Spain

She lived through times of great joy and great pain.

One of the secrets of her bright long life?

Avoid toxic people and all their strife.

So Vladimir Putin has a new deal

Open borders to all who feel the appeal

Of living in a repressive regime

Come to Russia and you can live the dream!

Oh by the way there’s just one small thing more…

There’s a pretty good chance you’ll be sent to war.

The first time you heard it it made some sense,

If you believed we had need for a fence.

His instincts were right and he won the race

The notes from his record built up his base.

But he needs a new sound to win once more

‘Cuz right now he’s become a whining bore.

So Trad Wives is a movement on Tik Tok

Which seems like it wants to turn back the clock

To a time when women stayed in the home,

And celebrated Stepford Wife syndrome.

Now these are the men who also look back

To simpler times, like a lumberjack.

You work really hard and pay all your dues

Pull more than your weight, but don’t really schmooze.

Well good luck to you, you hardworking horse

‘Cuz you’re gonna get screwed, I mean of course!

How depressing it is to know the game…

Hard work doesn’t win, and that is a shame.

I can’t help but find that I am intrigued

And never come close to being fatigued

By news of aliens and their travels

As more unfolds and the plot unravels…

Given the size of our galactic space

No doubt there’s another sentient race.

Back to the basics for the Trump campaign!

Recall what he said about John McCain?

Let’s insult all veterans! Especially those

Who sacrificed more than anyone knows.

“Suckers and losers” is how he describes

Soldiers who gave this great country their lives.

The world has changed over all the eons

For both ruling classes and the peons.

Great things have happened, and awful ones too

But through all the years one thing remains true…

No matter in times of good or bad luck

People always think that our morals suck.

Our world is obsessed with measuring stuff.

We have to be sure that we get enough!

From the steps we take to calories burned

There’s plenty out there to make us concerned.

But I think it has the reverse effect

If happiness is what we expect.
