It seems to me ironic
In about a hundred ways
That those who can’t pass bills for years

Daylight Praying Time
I’ve never been a soldier
But every one I know
Tells me of the weight they carry

W & F
When the Biden Stimulus was passed, I wrote this poem in 2021. Schumer's Trillions The Senate says a trillion But the House would like some more They’d want it to be five But could compromise at four Soon they’ll reach agreement But Joe’s signature won’t end it Once...
Resolutions
I’m known to friends and colleagues As the Grand Procrastinator My flag contains the motto “I think I’ll do it later.” So if I have a new resolve Or one that is the same I share the thought with no one Cause I couldn’t take the shame Sure, I need to lose...
On the Road Again
I went to school in London Back when I was a youth It seems a century ago If you must know the truth Then, coming home for Christmas A journey I should like I got myself to Heathrow And the workers went on strikeIn two days at the airport They soon ran out of food We...
All Indicators Indicate
