Total Bummer, But…

You hate to see it… but unexpected?

Not when the line leaves him unprotected.

Added to that are his increasing years

And it’s enough to leave Jets fans in tears.

I questioned the wisdom of this veteran drill

Especially when paying 75 mill…

Remembering, Around The World

Twenty-one years… I remember so well.

And the thousands of tolls of the bell.

It wasn’t a tragedy just for us

Global memorials sing like a chorus.

There in Ireland and around the world

At least 20 nations have flags unfurled.

This Is How It’s Done

A Conservative and Liberal disagree

About what the law on abortion should be.

But SCOTUS ruled and now as a result

Both know the number of babies will catapult.

So they came together and worked on a plan.

If reporters can do it, politicians can.

Well…

So the Senator thinks poets are weak…

I challenge him to joust with THIS rhyming freak!

He’s as ignorant – and soft – as can be,

Poetry’s place in war is legendary.

But what can you expect from this old perv?

A guy who’s quick to whine but didn’t serve.

Up Against A Wall

More interesting news out of the Far East,

Where two workers thought the Wall was a beast.

And the idea that they landed on

Had been done before by only Genghis Khan…

They punched a hole in the wall! Went straight through.

Cut their commute time in half, more fun too!

Yes, Actually, It Was

Enrique was sentenced to 22 years

And decades more were handed to his peers

For seditious conspiracy – it’s a crime

And among the worst, could be death if not time.

All the fake patriots who said it’s a lie

Like Tucker here, should be hung out to dry.

…In Mysterious Ways

Joe Rogan has had some troubling words

About God and faith – he thinks they are turds…

But of late he has had a bit of a turn

And seems to suggest he’s got something to learn.

He usually tries to follow the facts

But some things in life call for spiritual acts.

Lessons From Burning Man

Amid the natural disasters we’ve seen

Now there is this, and I have to come clean…

While I don’t wish harm to any at all

The self-impressed folks who are in this squall

Could likely do with some things going wrong

To have a sense for how most get along.

Latter Day Writers

One of the things I love is to be surprised.

Predictable life… well it’s just not sized

To fit the way I think of the world.

So “Mormon fantasy lit” has just hurled

Me into a place of great satisfaction.

Let’s go Joe Smith! I hope it gets traction.

Cheeseburgers, and Jimmy Too

We’ve lost a great one with today’s sad news.

Parrotheads will all be singing the blues.

Buffet created a brand new style

Which really focused on making you smile.

I hope he’s enjoying a margarita on ice

And singing his tunes up in Paradise…
