All God’s Children or One Aftermath After Another

If you were in New York, you know. If you flew that day, you know If you saw, you know. You may not seem wounded, but you are You may not be bloodied, but you are. You may not be hiding, but you are. We may not be fleeing, but we are all fleeing Don’t [...]

Whip it

They say the worst is over And consumer prices dipped Thanks to all their spending We have got inflation whipped   The Beltway Boys are cheering Yes, they’re really getting rowdy But I think I have to tell them That their crystal ball is cloudy   They say it doesn’t matter The direction things are [...]

He’s back!

    Labor Day is over Summer’s coming to an end And now, before you know it We’ll be seeing an old friend   He’s been away a while But he loves it in the fall You might see him at a ballgame You could meet him at the mall   He’s not a pleasant [...]

Alone, at Least

The question just two weeks ago Or maybe it’s been three Was in this roomy universe Just how alone are we? Whistleblowers testified And made a presentation Claiming they’d seen vehicles Supporting Drake’s equation That even in our Milky Way Whose spiral arms are spinning The seeds of life were planted Somewhere else in its [...]

Debates Don’t Mean a Thing, If They Ain’t Got That Bing

The weather’s getting warmer And the candidates are swarming Summer’s hardly here And the field’s already forming   All across the media Republicans are rumbling While Twitter has the video Of the incumbent stumbling   Of the titles in the ring Governor’s the most But we also have a Senator And a talk show host [...]

Memorial Day 2023
