America, In Denial





A very slow president named Jack.
Said, get oil from Iran, and not frack!
Oh, but dude, you are on the wrong track!
Of cash, we do need!
Good jobs, we do plead!
Instead,forced to wear two ugly masks.

So true Pangie - I moved to a rural area whose people are sometimes without mask altogether, much less double-masked (ridiculous BTW). Linda

Hi Linda...double mask, 75 masks. The dorks don't get it that lockdowns kill and masks do not work I live in a city of 65,000. Newsom is a control freak besides being a brainless moron. Is he CUOMO's twin? Maybe both related to Madman Fauci? Or Bill (vaccine-creep) Gates? All little HITLERS. Not to mention DC, in control of yet more morons. OMG. MASKLESS here, you betcha! Unless stores demand it. Of course it's ridiculous. I can't watch any news any longer. Drives me insane. Pangie xx

We will buy oil. Country too large for solar or windmills. Texas found out. We don't "beg"for oil. Workers here now have to pay high prices... Russia now full control of gas and oil to all of the EU. Good luck On my house, panels would crush the roof, I would die. We are not going Green. Too hot or too cold all over this country. PM Trudeau unhappy about the Keystons Pipeline as well. Nor are we killing animals because they have gas and pollute the atmosphere. In that case, kill humans too. The USA is not a country of beggars. Beggars are trying to crawl the border and we pay for all. We are a nation of many countries who emigrated here. We support gloBal medicine worldwide and back our allies with weaponry. Americans work just as other countries. The way thing are going, we will be Commies one day. Thanks to fearless leader. Yikes. Pangie.

Bob, it had one extra line, a friend pointed out. So did not want to pull a line and reclassified as a RHYME. That's OK. I have no desire to be a limerick writer. You and others...carry that ball. Pangie
