Not Intuitive

The thinking goes a little bit like this…

The world’s heating up, a fact we can’t miss,

Which makes polar ice caps just disappear

And has a consequence a little queer.

They no longer reflect the sun’s hot rays

So the world may get colder in future days!

Okay, so…?

And this comes after August and July

When we also set a record heat high.

To many the question remains “So what?”

They think a scientist is just a wing nut…

So how do we translate jargon and alarm

To help people realize the potential harm?

The Politics of Self

Sure, there’s plenty of blame to go around

But at its core we’ve lost all moral ground.

Do you truly believe this gang of eight

Is so deeply concerned about our fate…

About national interests and global needs?

Or is it more about their Twitter feeds?

Missed Opportunity

For a moment it seemed all could be good

And the impact of all the crazies would

Allow the centrists on both sides of the aisle

To strike a deal with bipartisan style.

Some concessions to Dems for a few votes

Could have been the best of the antidotes.

Don’t the French Do This Now?

Looks like I was born a few years too soon

‘Cuz I sure would have loved this workplace boon!

Finally a role for AI that I love

I’d slip into that like a hand in a glove.

But there must be a catch, how could it be?

Is it just artificial reality?

Everything’s Dangerous

The craziest things begin to happen

Like you’re at a concert and you’re clappin’

Next thing you know something’s tweaked in your neck

And it feels like you’ve been in a bad wreck.

Or you turn to the side and pick up your pack

Then Mother of God, there goes your back…!

Clash of the Titans

One team is drunk and the other is high

Seems like they’re giving it the high school try!

Of course they’re artists so they get a pass

And it’s not like they’re shooting a Master Class.

Team Drunk got the win, it was 5 to 4…

The Dead cover band distracted Team High more.

Best News In A While!

So I walk on the beach every morning

With my dogs along, and here’s a warning:

The amount of plastic waste that I see

Can only lead to a calamity.

If we’ve found some bugs that munch on this stuff?

Of those things we simply can’t have enough.

I’m Rich!

Well this sure has been a fun exercise…

Who knew my wealth grew to such a huge size?!

Simply by SAYING that I’m filthy rich

My home tripled in value… Take that bitch!

To be honest though, who’s really at fault –

Trump or the clowns who let him into their vault?

Or Not

There’s lots to unpack with this bit of news!

I bet there are many competing views.

Not sure I agree that men are ruined

By women who are part of your crew and

Know who you are, right down to the letter.

Who cares it’s AI so long as it’s better…?
