Five for This Week

DC

There’s sewage flooding through DC

Sludge and poop and goo

And now I’m reading in the news

A pipe has broken too

 

O Canada

They haven’t got the Stanley Cup

They don’t have Women’s gold

But if you need some comfort

Take your comfort in the cold

"Feh!" to your Prime Minister

And others of his ilk

But all will be forgiven

If you just buy our milk.

 

Holy Daze

I went all out for Christmas

Good gracious, what I spent

I haven’t even paid the bills

And it’s already Lent

The hand of God I know it’s said

Is purposely unclear

But why cram all the special feasts

In one-third of the year?

 

Not Me

Obama in an interview

Said something so incisive

“Stop calling Adolf Hitler Trump

Cause that would be divisive”

 

Young Man in a Hurry

Gavin wrote a brand new book

And soon it will be noted

When asked of inconsistencies

He’ll say he was mis-quoted

Commission a poem from Joe

Tell him the story. He'll find the verse in it.
