We’ll see

Apparently the line that they now use

Is that OF COURSE Donald Trump did not lose,

But, still, perhaps it’s now about the time

That MAGA faithful continue their climb

With a new leader to carry the torch

And new woke targets that they want to scorch.

Depends on the dress

Love thy neighbor as thyself – what a good rule!

Especially in the chaos of a school.

But this district didn’t think it okay

When a boy wore a dress to class one day.

An abomination…?! I couldn’t care less…

Unless, of course, it was a hideous dress.

Seems avoidable

I love Spain and the Spanish, I sure do

They’re magnificent folks, I assure you.

But from time to time they might just lose sight

Of priorities, and doing things right.

Cerveza, jamon and a siesta…

Sometimes these things will come back and test ya.

And THIS Little Piggy…

Most eyes and concern are directed South

Political bait in the fish’s mouth.

Our porous border lets illegals in!

All those piggy moochers, it’s just a sin…

But wait! What’s this? A new danger up North?!

DC is asleep as pigs go back and forth…

Fine According to Whom?

Perspective can be quite the funny thing!

I mean, it’s not that I feel I must cling

To old fashioned ways of crafting a trade

But I do wonder if poetry’s made

By software and bots with no cognition

Can it address the human condition?

Things are good!

We humans are an interesting breed

And throughout our history have had the need

To predict a future of fear and woe

Then invent answers that don’t make it so.

These kids believed that our lives would be bleak

But instead we’ve been on a winning streak.

Rest in peace, Raquel

I remember when she first caught my eye

In Life Magazine, I thought I would die…

She was already in her late thirties

I was so young, but thought about flirties.

Athletic and sexy and with such grace

I hope she’s happy in her resting place…

Looks like it worked!

“Whatever it takes!” is so often heard

But is rarely done if it seems absurd…

So now it looks like Lululemon red

Is certain to do an NFL spread!

Whatever Mahomes is doing just works.

And who knows, perhaps there are other perks.

Independence Day?!

Yup, this is starting to get pretty weird

As a fourth flying object has appeared.

We took it out fast but still do not know

Just what it is and how big of a blow

It represents to our security

But we’re proceeding with maturity.

Soft Landing, or Liftoff?

Doomsday is better at selling the news

And if it’s wrong, no one pays any dues.

Tons of predictions are forecasting gloom

But what if things are about to bloom?

Could it be that life will just get no worse?

And does saying that guarantee a curse?!
