Well no wonder

Suddenly now it has all become clear!

All those fights on Southwest throughout the year

With passengers and crew going at it

As if they’d discovered a brand new habit

Really weren’t over what mask to use…

Much more likely it’s just there was no booze!

Be open

Perhaps one day we will get to a place

Where people realize that the human race –

And, in fact, the world we all live in,

This beautiful place we’ve been given –

Is loaded with nuance that creates worth…

Yes, hunters too want to save planet Earth.

Pigs? In SF?

Rampaging pigs in Silicon Valley?

There must have just been an IPO rally!

Ok, well yes, they’re in the East Bay

Not really the Valley, but not far away.

And no, these beasts aren’t capitalist pigs

They’re actual hogs, not venture gigs.

DIY Publishing

What do you when you’ve written a book

But no publisher will give it a look?

Maybe you go to where lots of books live

Like say a library, and then you give

It a handwritten version for the shelf

Yes, that is publishing – do it yourself!

Room for shrooms

A dose of mushrooms can be very nice

Even though it was scheduled as a vice.

They help to treat resistant depression

And can lead the mind to new expression.

No drug is harmless, so exercise care,

But making them legal would only be fair.

Moonshot

His stock is not the only thing on its way

It seems one of his rockets has gone astray

Both have been headed for the moon

But right now it’s just a little too soon

To know if they will have a safe landing

Or crash and ruin Elon’s good standing…

Affirmative Response

What a difficult issue to discuss

With slavery and seating on the bus

And all the historic sins committed

By a white ruling class that permitted

Crimes to occur for its own advantage…

Fixing the fallout is hard to manage.

Here we go, again…

So now it’s delivered by RFK…
Historical parallels to the day
When the Nazis killed all the Jews they could
Exactly like the vaccinators would (!)
If left unchecked to pursue their big plan…
Please stop with this nonsense, it’s crazy man.

I mean, wow!

Possibly the best playoffs of all time!

But this overtime rule is just a crime…

No one wanted it to end in this way.

It’s really unfair and it’s not okay.

A coin toss should never decide the fate

Of two teams that were playing simply great.

Hat’s Off

He’s been in the League for 22 years

And has often caused me to come to tears.

But the guy puts on a really great show

And this little detail I did not know…

After all that time he’d never before

Been flagged for bad conduct, now THAT’s a score.
