Within every warty frog or toad
that you encounter on the road,
a hidden prince sleeping, lies,
though his tongue just catches flies;
and if I can persuade you this,
I suggest you give me a kiss.
Lord, let's love all men,
Someone really needs to, dears,
They are so unique.
If we think Kenji Kawakami
may seem a little barmy;
Then perhaps his Chindogu
are not for the likes of me and you.
Peg slapped Bill on the side of his head,
he said he saw a rat moving under the bed.
That is not a rat honey,
but harmless dust bunny.
Bill would rather have had a rat instead.
The distance between a genius
And a crazy cap among us
(May God both of them bless)
Is measured by success,
One boards, and one misses the bus.

Note: Trump likes to be known as a genius negotiator. And to my mind comes Bruce Feuerstein: The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. And as this ditty says, one who has missed the bus in connection with tariff strife between USA and India seems Trump. One has to draw his own conclusion.
Ignorance, confidence-- what you need--
Just two things in all life to succeed.
Mark Twain said this long back
For an awkward knave jack,
Here is Trump to prove him right indeed.

Asked the census-taker, at once witty and wacky
Are you two married, or are you happy
We replied, We’re happily married 40 years now
~ For a couple married for 55, that’s a real WOW
Axiom illusion

Hear the true story of my great-great-great Grandpa,
the forgettingest man I ever saw.
When he tried to pass first grade again
he forgot to bring to school his brain.
When it was time to race in the big track meet,
wouldn't you know it - he forgot his feet.
When he married Mary, his sugar tart,
believe it or not, he forgot his heart.
So, she smacked him with a frying pan,
and down the road he ran.
You'd think he might die with a lump on his head,
but in a fortnight, it was Mary who was dead.
He forgot to bring his alibi,
so, they strung him up so high,
and he forgot to die.
I am a mouse, I am I am
I am a mouse, I am
The sort you would surely kill
If you found me in your house.
I am a rat, I am I am
I am a rat, I am
Your voice would suddenly go shrill
If you found me in your hat.

FBI Director Kash Patel:
the POTUS thinks he's really just swell.
But political pundits think he's a knob
who simply isn't up to the job.
He likes to take credit for others' success.
What he's actually accomplished is anyone's guess.
The Republicans ask "Is he even legit?",
and many conservatives say he's unfit.
In the Pumpkinfuhrer's cabinet,
Kash really takes the cake.
But one should never interrupt an enemy
when he's making a mistake.
A Scotsman going by Archie McFlip
did a stumble, a fall, and a trip
he started to sing
and to do the fling
even though he had broken his hip
Time was, apes stood up on rear twos,
Gained height to hail human-like hues.
Today, back to all four,
Backward to times of yore,
Calling it Quodrobics--
Kind of calisthenics,
Bored, man apes back on olden clues.

When I recalled my college days
spent mainly in a drunken haze
Invariably I’d wonder why
