Dementia is no laughing matter

So hard and painful, not the Mad Hatter.

But something about this plan is comic…

Seems things could blow up, pretty atomic.

A whole town where people can’t quite place it!

Or is it like any town? Folks just space it.

Pickleball seems just a bit annoying.

I’m sure it’s fun and folks are enjoying

The light demands and its nice pace of play

But give me a break with all the display

Of cultish excitement for this odd game…

And now fashion too? It’s just a bit lame.

There’s something about that small red planet

That makes me wonder a bit more than it

Probably should since we know so little.

I just don’t want to be non-committal

And as we learn much more about it all

It makes the galaxy feel comfy small.

Though never before was I a true fan

Of her or her dad (a complex man)

Today I would vote for her right away.

She sure gets the need for us to obey

The CONSTITUTION and the rule of law

Which Trump and his crew give a big guffaw.

Wouldn’t you know? It was the business school

Where a certain Prof thought it would be cool

To study cheaters and what makes them tick

Knowing that would be a good business trick.

Self-knowledge is difficult, so they say…

And these results show some moral decay.

I hate the beeps of a truck in reverse!

Annoying as hell, seems like a bad curse.

So I get the impulse, I get it I do…

Stop that damn noise! If only just for a few.

But holy moly what damage was wrought!

Way more than the janitor ever thought.

t’s kind of amazing what’s going on…

Putin and Prigozhin want to be the don.

Staging a coup and more than outspoken

Wagner’s saying that Russia is broken.

Will Putin be able to settle this mess?

What happens next is anyone’s guess.

It’s remarkable the things that we think
Are genius insights that are on the brink
Of solving so many of our issues
With all the genius of toilet tissues.
But isn’t this just as plain as the day?
Kids learn the best when left alone to play.

A Mercedes and Lexus parked in front

Yes the affluent are on the hunt

For discounts and deals, whatever it takes

To keep speeding ahead, no tapping the brakes.

Some will suggest that it’s how they got there

Penny pinching and cutting costs everywhere.

As if the tragedy couldn’t get worse

More life may be lost, the Titanic curse.

God save these five souls, stuck in a barrel

Three miles down and in extreme peril.

They may not have very many hours

Let’s hope the rescuers have super powers.
