Backtrack

Is it overreaction? What’s the deal?

Students without backpacks?! This isn’t real…

Dangers lurk everywhere, that’s just a fact

In what other ways might this have impact?

Crazy solutions should be given a pass,

This won’t stop weapons from being in class.

Um, is that smart?

So writers decided to go on strike

And would like to receive a small pay hike.

Well that makes sense, so no arguments there

But they also have this other big scare…

AI must be banned! It makes them all pout…

But it’s doing the writing while they’re all out!

Dumpster Fire, Hell!

Fires are starting inside garbage trucks

Which truly is a situation that sucks.

As if the hazards of trash aren’t enough –

In New York you find things which are pretty rough –

A new menace is threatening sanitation!

The heat and the stench, now that’s damnation.

The Best Offense

Football analogies are often used

(And even more often they are abused)

To help explain complicated matters –

Say, democracy going to tatters.

So as we face the destruction of norms

A good defense may help us through the storms.

Awkward!

A bit of a bummer when your wife claims

That you as a man have gone down in flames.

But you did snoop into her private text

So maybe you should think about what’s next.

There’s also the chance you could survive it…

Since at least she said these things in private!

Steps to Success

Inspiration comes from many places.

It used to be from athletic faces,

But recently that has become less so…

Until we heard from Antetokounmpo!

Thoughtful and honest from the heart and brain

All who listen will have something to gain.

…and we want go home

I truly hope this man will rest in peace

Since that’s what he gave us with every release.

His music was joyful and made me smile

And Harry had impeccable style.

All the more awesome given in his life

He also fought hard against racial strife.

Still Not Enough?

It’s a bellicose world, that much is sure

And while it’s true that war’s not the cure

It IS important that we are well-armed.

So why do these numbers make me alarmed?

Because so many still like to question

If we’re committed to fight aggression.

Cowardly Cowards

Truly, what is wrong with all these dumb folks

To let Trump always lock them up in yokes?

No one ever calls him out for his crap

And instead they drift right into his trap.

He can’t be beat by the “rise up aboves”

It’s a bare-knuckle fight so drop the gloves.

“Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly”

So Elon Musk has had quite a big week
And introduced new ways for us to speak.
No longer will anyone say explosion…
These colorful words seem less like an omen!
And though I don’t mind if he is set back
It turns out this rocket was right on track!
