State of the Union, May 20, 2025

Crime is up around here though it’s down over there Inflation at the meat counter's got us upset Yet eggs are priced down, grab all you can get Tariffs making owners of companies most uneasy Customers, too, are cautious and queasy Wall Street sells off on Monday, a thousand points down Investors buy the dip Tuesday, all the losses turned around As for war and peace, ask the Pope He’s pushing peace ~ They say he’s no dope Bottom line for me and you ~ SNAFU! ~

Some people see the glass half empty , some see the glass half-full Leftist media has a blow torch to ruin the president and Israel!That’s nothing new. I can’t believe how they lie! UK is a poor shape. I suggest you read news.their but nobody dare pen that.? Instead, we are an ungrateful country, And I honor your honesty. Bravery is not welcome here. There is a disease here that poetry must be positive! Jiibberish, write what you see is true! Pangie.
