     3. a symptom flagging a rock star climbing the charts~~yellow backs 
         blues mark

     4. hollywooders tip newsmen goodwill ball~~so sly even their stills move

     5. hollywood moguls think stars ratings best in courtrooms~~not studios

     6. libs think that what is central is between your legs~~not between 
         your ears

         drugs

   14. demonrats are busy printing money~~publicans rehide the ink

Sotto Poet January 11, 2023 at 6:39 AM Excellently engaging poetry, William. You hit on some really important and interesting points here. A vital aspect of ideas is not to be overlooked: those who desire to force our history into obedience through the years should be ready to resurrect the dead. Best wishes for the contest. William Kelii Kekaula January 11, 2023 at 6:58 AM I'm sorta basic in this area of our times, Lasaad, wars are such sad reminders--thanks for the boost my friend, Aloha William
