Ho-Hum, Here Are the Keys

Ho-hum, another war lost We should have won Our new partner for peace ~ the Taliban Ho-hum, a new school year First semester's curriculum Learn whom to FEAR Ho-hum, we're going all-electric While 'Mr. Green President' Begs Russia ~ Pump more oil! Protet us! Ho-hum, California burns The no-win solution Gavin Newsome returns Ho-hum, Chicago's locked down No, it's not Covid It's a murderous town Ho-hum, soaring inflation I can still sleep ~ My paycheck's Indexed to tax machinations Ho-hum, another day closer To beckoning the invading hoardes Come over ~ Here are the keys ~ Take over

This is so sad "Ho-hum, Chicago's locked down No, it's not Covid It's a murderous town" So very sad!

Chicago has certainly become America's Shooting Gallery, so look forward to more contributions from the NRA. Bezos does not need your keys as he knows there is ample wiggle-room under your door! Meanwhile, New Zealand has opened its doors to tourism after reducing COVID-19 and Delta Variant infections to ZERO whereas 1/3rd of Americans believe Climate Change is fake news. Keep dodging those bullets!

Hello Gershon ... This is a really good verse if we read into very closely. What does it mean? Does it mean WW3 is on the horizon to destroy the insanity when it's over - that's my fear Gershon - Lindsay

What a talent you are! A gifted Poet indeed. Joyously weaving themes, so intricately. Hope this gets a POTW! It is so grounded in reality. This is headed to my FAVS. Panagiota
