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
