Yer OUT!

What a threat this ambi-player will be,

Pitching from the right or as a leftie…!

Batting orders will fall in disarray

As hitters struggle to put the ball in play.

He’ll crush it when we read the post-mortem,

Provided that Trump doesn’t deport him…

Poetic Justice

What goes around, comes around, so they say

And maybe just maybe that’s A-Okay.

For sure the Feds needed to up their game

But preferably not by going down in flame.

Enter Elon and his break things goal…

Now it‘s his wealth for whom the bells toll.

Extinction

It saddens the soul to see it real-time,

Our steady descent into the slime.

Did it start with the escalator ride?

Or was that a result of the outgoing tide?

Whatever the roots, we are where we are…

Outdoing each other to reach the low bar.

A Model to the North

I guess we’ll see how this election goes

But if the Liberals win I think it shows

The American Left must up its game

Because as of now it deserves some shame.

Lose the nonsense and pious chew out…

Lead with actual things people care about.

Not Too Bright After All

Imagine succeeding with such a big haul

It has to take brains as well as some gall.

So you’d think there’d be a bit more control

When it came time to go off the dole

And enjoy the spoils that they had won

But instead they were simply one and done.

Yeah, Except…

The one little problem with this complaint

Is that their whining and lack of restraint

Is fully misplaced in this situation

Since this specific abomination

Wasn’t called out by some anonymous dude

But by Hegseth’s spokesman in a public feud!

Vale Sanctissime Pater

Pope Francis embodied the best of life

With empathy and strength and little strife.

He addressed big issues and held strong views

Standing up to all those who would refuse

To show compassion and to use their skills

To help those in need, not to seek cheap thrills.

Signal to Leave

How much more do we have to endure

Before things become really insecure?

This whole episode is very scary…

Anyone else in the military

Would be released of command on the spot

Lucky to get out without being shot.

In Real Life…?

So this is a story about a guy

Who found a really sweet house to buy

Back in the ‘70s on the East End

When prices were hard to comprehend.

But it shows how out of touch some folks are

Who say “we” now pay the same for a car…

Escape Plan!

I mean, it takes a long time to get there

But it possibly has some breathable air.

Good to know there’s another location

Where humans can live, in case some nation

Causes our world to end as we know it

Since humans are human and could blow it…
