I grew up in a big liberal city

At a time when things were pretty gritty.

Guns seemed to cause more problems than answers

But I still get why they have advancers.

This, however, is beyond all reason…

As we bury more kids this shooting season.

It just goes to show what I’ve always thought…

That these cats today are easily bought.

I’ve never trusted those aloof felines

With their careful steps and sun-filled reclines.

Turns out they peddle misinformation!

Purring away as they take down the nation.

I cringe when I read items on the Left

That bend to break under bias’s heft.

No doubt there was need for other voices

To give all people much needed choices.

Too bad that mission never saw the light…

As Fox and its ilk just shill for the Right.

It has always been curious to me

That the outcome of crime could possibly be

Categorized in this way or that

As if there’s some sort of caveat

That can make murder seem better or worse…

Kinda so what? There’s a man in a hearse!

The world most certainly feels upside down

When the Right decides to go to town

Expanding benefits for folks who don’t work

Because they may have just a little quirk

And refuse the vax right there on the spot

Giving up good health and causing more rot.

Finding your partner is not formulaic

It can be through tech, or more archaic.

I believe that luck also plays a hand

In leading you to someone’s wedding band.

Sadly fifty percent still end in divorce…

With odds like that, just hit the golf course.

My father would frequently scratch his head,

“There’re good problems and bad problems,” he said.

I’ve got a good feel for where this one belongs…

And I do not hear any violin songs.

It’s so hard the rich must deal with these issues!

I’m crying my way through a box of tissues.

Now that the day for giving thanks has passed

We can resume our state of being aghast!

And quickly appearing to fit the bill

Is news from Africa that’s not so chill.

We knew it would come, we didn’t know when

A new covid variant is with us again…

Among my favorite moments of the year

Is when the parade balloons start to appear.

Even now, so many years in

I can’t help but have a very wide grin

As soon as I see the balloons under way

And the joy they bring on Thanksgiving Day.

These two guys were proud of Fox News

And believe in airing diverse views.

All questions should be asked, not just a few,

But they left when reporting was no longer true.

Sadly we see it happen again and again…

Perhaps more people should leave CNN.
