Whoops

And with Kamala now his opponent

Trump needs a different VP component.

Hard to imagine what goes through the head

Of these astronauts holding by a thread.

Stuck in space for several months already

Well That Explains It

So yesterday I was out to complain

About the performance that caused such pain

And we turn to athletes and musicians

To give us a boost in tough conditions

They probably should simply play it straight

And not give us another thing to hate…

God Bless Us… Everyone

The Left and the Right will for sure disagree

About how our dysfunction came to be.

But whatever the cause both are to blame

For stoking it as a political game.

Thank God Trump survived this tragic event…

May it lead us towards healing our discontent.

Pesky Headlines

The headline we read sure makes it appear

That Labour is soft on crime, it’s so clear!

But dig in a bit and then what you learn

Is the Tories knew what a big concern

Prison overcrowding already posed

And this is in fact what they had proposed.
