What's In the Noose

Long tennis matches stretch on and on for love of deuce, While endless freight trains mercifully end with a little red caboose. Domestic snits could be shortened dramatically with a fruit juice truce, Though kids keep on playing 'Super Elite 4' when they might be watching 'The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle the Moose.' Some highly-paid accountants play with their clients' numbers, fast and loose, As weight-loss specialists do patients' expanding waistlines fail to reduce. More and more often gynecologists must early labor unexpectedly induce, So that a healthy, social-media-acceptable baby be rapidly produced. Romantic poets with winsome words do their audiences seduce, Since philosophers do airtight, logical conclusions no longer deduce. Injun squaws are still known to carry their young ones in a papoose. Whereas a hanging by a noose is a custom quite understandably out of use. And, of course, the current Oval Office Occupant continues to rule the roost By tweeting, texting, and twittering a refuse-storm gallopingly profuse. Which all leads to the inevitable, inescaple, perhaps irrefutable con-cluse That some people will and others won't throw up their hands, saying "What's the Use?!"
