I have a soft spot for Ariana

A fun performer, dishing out manna.

Quite a fine talent, she’s also real smart

When she stumbles like this it breaks my heart.

She made a mistake, every one of us does

And she should say she’s sorry, just because.

I’ve never understood why some folks seek

To be in the limelight… it just seems bleak.

Especially when you’re the type of dude

Whose morals veer sharply toward all that’s crude.

These lovely humans cheat all the day long

In public display as if nothing’s wrong.

So apparently the way you do it

Takes a mindset which just says “Oh screw it”

And you load the coffee machine with bleach

Which frankly seems like a bit of a reach

I mean, people would notice, don’t you think?

What type of brew do you normally drink?!

The debate will be a total s#!tshow

Learning nothing we don’t already know.

Trump will be mental as only he can

As Biden will struggle just to say “Man…”

There’s no doubt in my mind this will be ruh roh

All empires collapse… so c’mon let’s go!

Boeing is having a terrible run

And this time they’re really under the gun.

There are bad days at work, and there’s this

Staring with fear deep into the abyss.

I sure hope they get these problems sorted

And these astronauts safely transported.

It’s not many teams which have done this feat

Come back from 0-3… that’s a lotta heat.

Who knows what will happen in Game Seven

But if Edmonton wins they’ll be in heaven.

I was crushed when the Red Sox did it to the Yanks

But if the Oilers win I’ll be giving thanks.

If you believe the hype that things just suck

And it’s gotten too hard to make a buck

It might be worth learning about a few

Of the very cool people in this crew.

No excuses or cries that things aren’t fair

Just hard working people earning their share.

I don’t really know why he’s the “Say Hey Kid”

But when I watched him play and saw what he did

He quickly became an idol of mine

In my childhood room I built him a shrine.

His star never dimmed in my widened eyes

We’ve lost one of the best, a real human prize.

The Surgeon General has now made it clear

Social media kills what we hold dear.

I’m not sure a “warning” will do the trick

And stop anyone from choosing to click.

But at least it’s a start and we can hope

That this scourge will reach the end of its rope.

Of course we all know that hate’s a strong word.

Our mothers told us, it’s what we all heard.

So this is concerning, I have to say

Because it points to a very dark day.

With so many people against both guys

I fear the nation is near its demise.
