Farewell to 2025
An American perspective on domestic and world events, in no particular order
It has been eventful year
Verse of mine, a souvenir
To you all; to read, recall
Linger, soak up and enthrall
Play for Greenland, no success
Fight with Canada, a mess
DOGE, much bark and no bite
Late attempt to end birthright
Refugees, they cannot come
Mayor Mamdani, he’s a bum
California burns again
China’s war, not if but when
Trump’s somehow on Russia’s side
Zion and Persia, they collide
Prices rise, it’s tariffs war
Cost of DRAM, a crazy soar
NVIDIA is getting huge
Middle Eastern storms deluge
Big Flotilla is a flop
Ukraine’s war, it wouldn’t stop
Can’t believe your eyes, A.I.
Charlie Kirk, we say goodbye
“The forever” Trudeau’s gone
Europe’s mess - unknown drone
Immigration put on ICE
Fed’s shutdown, not so nice
Gaza’s garbage, million tons
Hamas wants to keep the guns
Frances passes, Leo’s in
Jew-hate spreads, an ugly sin
Jolts the world, but Don don’t care
Carter’s gone, so say a prayer
No more Fordow or Natanz
Many memes from “DJ Vance”
Putin is a stubborn f*ck
Rudy’s pardoned, best of luck
Hostages are coming home
Few more years for Diddy Combs
Gold’s still climbing, what the heck
Half White House is a wreck
Praise not Lord, but Donny Trump
Gas price’s stable at the pump
Druze were slaughtered, world is mum
Marches to support Hamas, the scum
Car, Manhattan? Pay a fee
Russia’s tankers burn, Black Sea
Musk, White House are parting ways
Witkoff, Kushner, Mid-East maze
Epstein scandal flares up
Thomas Homan frame-up
English – language of the land
“No Kings” show, protest is grand
Comey, James are free to go
Brooklyn Bridge receives a blow
Jordan, water’s not for you
Drug cartels war’s in the queue
JFK archives released
National Guard, DC policed
Texas: CAIR – you’re a pest
Bezos marries, all the best!
Hushed mass murders in Sudan
Muslims, Europe overrun
Weinstein's verdict overturned
All peace efforts Russia spurned
Binance chief, a pardon gained
Wall is built, frontier contained
Musk’s net worth is half a trill
“One Big Beautiful” Trump’s bill
Gone but not forgotten crew:
Ozzy Osbourne we all knew
F. Baumgartner, drop to Earth
Connie Francis, singing voice
One Dick Cheney, “double dick”
Robert Redford, culture’s brick
G. Armani, of couture
Diane Keaton’s screen allure
C. Mangione - trumpet sound
James Lovell – Apollo-bound
One George Wendt, the “Cheers” seat
Bad Val Kilmer, Mr. “Heat”
Foreman George of boxing ring
Boris Spassky, chessboard king
French Connection’s Hackman Gene
Robert Uecker, “Baseball dean”
Time for Xmas, fun and cheer
Go and greet unknown New Year
So, be blessed in every sense
Our times are intense!
