As the World Spins

Once upon a time, it used to be true

No wars between countries would ever brew

If a MacDonald’s was in both of them

A signal of affluence, a real gem.

Saving prosperity was what mattered

But now that paradigm has been shattered.

Win Win

So if Joe were able to get this done –

A pardon for Trump, that’s number one,

Provided he never can run again

For any office at all, maybe then

Biden could also then step to the side

A job well done, he could leave with real pride.

Not That Complicated

Oh the things that scientists study

With all their tests and fuddy-duddy!

And “experts” advising on the side…

When offered a drink they surely abide.

Perhaps the reason we drink in the sun

Is simply that it’s a lot of fun!

And What Do You Do?

McKinsey predicts vast financial gains

Except for those jobs that require brains…

First manual labor was largely replaced

By humming machines that limited waste.

Now white collar jobs are gonna be axed!

You think McKinsey should seem so relaxed…?

The Bright Continent

With such a brutal history behind it

And foreign intrusions that defined it

This vast land has rarely built up traction

And is often accused of inaction.

Wouldn’t it be great if the green revolution

Made Africa the world’s best solution?

About grit and survival and ways to cope…

And went forty days without batting a lash.

How Will They Respond?

Let’s leave aside at this very moment

Whether or not he will see enrollment

Into a Federal Pen with some others

Who would all be his criminal brothers…

What will all his GOP rivals do?

Will they use the indictment against him too?

Chris Cross

I used to like ‘ole Governor Christie

Until his moral compass got twisty…

Like political vengeance with the bridge

Or his ass-kissing Trump more than a smidge.

But he’s found his old voice and I have his back!

Because this guy knows how to go on attack.

Oh, Canada?!

Such a gentle and generous nation

Must be covering for some damnation!

And now we see what they have been up to…

Preparing to be a chimney smoke flue

Casting down vengeance and making us pay

For all the times we mocked them saying “Eh?”

Here We Go, Again…

I suppose I shouldn’t be much surprised

That the debt deal passed and then we devised

Plans to borrow new trillions of dollars…

No, it doesn’t take any genius scholars

To see that writing put up on the wall

But then that was the point, after all.
