Mr. Gorbachev, rest in peace

His legacy is mixed at home and away

But he sure had impact in his day.

Reagan challenged him to “tear down this wall,”

And then we couldn’t believe it at all

When he did just that and quite a bit more…

Pretty much ending the entire Cold War.

Maybe bring a vax too?

The threat we fear is that by some mistake

An alien virus gets its big break

And soars off the planet, since Mars is small,

Expanding its reach to a galactic mall.

That would be a bad day for us on Earth…

I’d think twice about giving bugs a berth.

Wait, the stick… anything else?

Great, so now we learn our very best friends

May also suffer from memory bends.

Getting confused and walking into walls

And thinking the rugs are urinal stalls.

Ugh, what torture we’ll endure when our hound

No longer cares when we come around.

But why?

Too much of anything is never good

But it doesn’t always mean that you should

Throw it all away and change your style

Especially when it makes you smile.

These islands are fun and have a great rep!

Changing their brand is a useless schlep.

Weird, but still

For all the talk to follow the science

It sometimes seems there’s little compliance

From all the ideas and the theories

And it just adds to reasonable queries.

To me it falls into the bucket of life

So much is unknown why bother with strife?

Manipulative Mutts?

They’re so darned cute that it’s hard to believe
Those tears aren’t real whenever they perceive
That you’re coming home and gonna see them!
Sometimes they even hack up some phlegm….
It has to be real! That love is not fake…
And oh so what if it is, give them a break.

Adam Neumann, a man on a mission!
I’d love to hear tales he tells about fishin’…
The guy is just so loaded full of bull
It’s painful to watch what new stunt he’ll pull.
Yet more shocking to see support he’ll get
From all the VCs, who seem to forget.

Go Green

I know the desire for a great lawn

Can make many folks get pretty far gone.

The sprinkling and clipping can drive you mad

And more often than not it’s done pretty bad.

So maybe this solves for all sorts of grief

And provides our thirsty planet relief.

People are tired, weary and quite bored

Dealing with covid and working toward

A normal life free of all the stresses

Possible due to vaccine successes.

But yes it’s still with us and it still blows.

That will be our life, it’s just how it goes.

We’re just not there

The premise here is that we’re nowhere near

The type of situation that you’d fear

Would be important enough that you’d kill

Another human or you had the will

To give your own life in a sacred cause.

Even Ice T would more likely hit pause…
