What Go-eth Before?

  Before mankind had learned to dance Or even sing a tune We’ve mapped the months By measuring the phases of the moon   And as the year progresses And contingencies were planned for The names of months became bound up In all the things they stand for   April is the month That has [...]

Aging Fast, Slowly

Some years ago, I wrote a poem about how it felt to be 30 years old. It didn't feel much different, I thought, than being 13. Thoughts at Age 30 I am the same age that I have always been A flash of fading light to live in Experience fixed by memory’s pin I am [...]

Sense

It’s said that in November The Left won’t know what hit them It seems that they lack common sense Wouldn’t know it if it bit them   But in a wicked world like ours Where common sense is lacking It’s going to take a whole lot more To send incumbents packing   For as I [...]

Again

Each time that horrors happen The horrors are compounded By anger and by rancor That leave us so astounded   A tragedy’s reported And before the day’s completed We hear the things we’ve heard before Repeated and repeated   We hang our heads in sorrow As we hang our heads in shame We really should [...]

A Vote of “No Confidence”

A Contrary View

I never drove a Tesla Though others have adored it For the very simple reason that I never could afford it   And so I make my way From San Jose to San Jacinto In something more affordable My old but trust Pinto.   Now Elon and his companies Are driving Leftists crazy Although from [...]

Don’t Say Healthy

My poem is Obamacare But how shall I begin it? After just a dozen years We finally know what’s in it   I didn’t keep my doctor and I didn’t keep my plan My premiums are twice as high Obama, you’re the man   We really ought to celebrate The fullness of the fleecing Beyond [...]

Good Question… ?

Folks, there are some questions Where there really are no answers Like studying a pin head For a count of angel dancers   The sum of dancing angels Like so much useless chatter Is spoken as a metaphor For things of no great matter   Email me that question And I’ll write’ “return to sender” [...]
