Whales will be whales

These little male orcas need so much care

Their mothers are left with no time to spare

For pretty much anything other than

Feeding the tyrants again and again.

The young females don’t need even half as much…

Seems kind of like humans, given as such.

Heil-ly Crazy

Longtime readers of these rhymes surely know

That I have no patience when people crow

About their opponents being Nazis…

But this situation? It is not these!

Here we are dealing with genuine loons,

Teaching their children to be Nazi goons.

Diet Koch

They’re as conservative as you can get

And the crew at Koch is starting to fret

That it would likely be a disaster

If Donald Trump remains the bandmaster.

If the GOP marches to his beat,

They fear it will end with another defeat.

You got some ‘splaining to do

As if things couldn’t possibly get worse

Congressman Santos added to his curse.

#MeToo is now part of his deal

It’s really no wonder his strong appeal…

Of course, who really knows whether it’s true?

‘Cuz it’s not like the Times even has a clue…

Have you asked them?

Mr. Beast is a YouTube sensation

Among the most famous in the nation.

And the brilliant thing? His content is kind.

Yet people are mad that he cured the blind,

They say disabilities don’t need a “cure”…

Well, unless they’re blind, what steaming manure!

Isn’t that GOOD news…?

What could be better than people employed?

Seems like a good way for us to avoid

Increasing crime and the need for handouts

Empowering people and killing their doubts.

So why did the markets take a deep dive?

Because high interest rates will stay alive?

Over the Aisle

A democrat won her congressional race

Then did something filled with a kind of grace.

She hired her GOP opponent

And it should become a special moment

As they can set an example for all

Bipartisan work will prevent our fall.

MAGA’s NOT Conservatism

Politics change, that should be no surprise.

But when parties flip flop before our eyes

And change course to such a wild degree

As “conservatives” have in the GOP,

Well, it really can make you feel the pain

Of loser leaders seeking personal gain.

Monkey Business

Texas has always thought itself so BIG

And best at everything, from BBQ pig

To bucking broncos and drilling black gold

They relish the image of being that bold.

So once Florida seemed to be MORE INSANE

They had to do something to retake the reign.

A Date with Death

It’s a tough question… so what would you do?

Would you live life differently if you knew?

Bucket list items would be moved ahead

But as your date approached, oh man, the dread…

I’d rather roll the dice, see what comes up

And greet each new morning with a thumbs up.
