Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Down the Drain

Taliban knocking on doors in Afghanistan
   Trouble brewing in Pakistan

China hints at attacking Taiwan
   Dare we hope Taiwan can hang on 

All the while Mr. Kim launches rockets
   North Koreans suffer, so he has deep pockets

While we are tied up with Ukraine
   The rest of the world goes down the drain

Geoffrey Brewer February 28, 2022 at 8:31 PM Very true! Watch the other hand! Well said, Gershon. Gershon Wolf March 1, 2022 at 6:32 PM Right. If Xi, Kim and Khomeini are free to join Mr. Putin, Europe and America are duck-soup. Like shooting fish in a barrel. ~ A dangerous, troubling era has started. And Biden focuses on passing a 3 trillion 'Build Back America' inflation-expander -- when our economy has already overheated. He caved to the Progressives. Shrug, gw

Rico Leffanta February 28, 2022 at 10:58 AM Trump would certainly applaud Xi Jingping appropriating Taiwan, but Kim Jong-Un appears only interested in blowing things to smithereens, and his pockets are filled with YOUR plundered money. But investors don't care one whit as they can reap enormous profits from conflict! Aloha!

L Milton Hankins February 28, 2022 at 9:40 AM I with Tom, gw. I just think our CIA should get on the stick and do some quiet assassinating! I can't believe I just wrote this. I hear the knocking on my door.....if you don't hear from me anymore......... Gershon Wolf March 1, 2022 at 6:28 PM I believe that you wrote it. It's only a shame that our CIA ain't worth a pot to pee in anymore. They probably should hire the Israeli Mossad to take care of Xi, Kim, and the Khomeini. Putin's going to kill himself sooner or later. No use losing men going after him. :) gw

Tom Cunningham February 28, 2022 at 8:30 AM So true Gershon, the world has gone mad. Those power mad lunatics should be taken out for the good of all mankind. Tom Gershon Wolf March 1, 2022 at 6:29 PM I agree, Tom. See my reply to Milt, right above this one. Thanks, gw
