There is a man that I am aware of, who delights
In our 'old blood and guts' he says he'll fly that
Flag forever.!!! Now some may well think him nuts.'
Yet he quotes about lines of lin-iage and of an
Australian commonwealth law, of treaty called
For and ratified in Versallies 'is this all for sure?' He
Speaks of God

There is a theory that states
If you place an infinite number of monkeys
In front of an infinite number of keyboards
They will eventually write
All the great works of literature

“to be, or not to be,
That…is the gazzerninplat”

Premium MemberSoi-disant Defense Secretary

Pete Hegseth comes across as so slick
but he's really as dumb as a brick.
He's so out of his depth,
not to mention his breadth.
His sycophancy makes me go "Ick"!

Wall goes quickly up,
Shielding fragile inner self,
Safety sought within.

In Defense of Reason

Pickety, Snickety
Reason A. Goodwin is
using a lexicon
to check the word

Reason’s a champion
alphaclopediack.
Not ev’ry intern can
find what is heard.

Reason A. Goodwin, the editor of World Book Encyclopedia Dictionary, 
was paid good money as a judge on the original Password Game Show.
The first time he used his dictionary to look up a word - the producers
commented that

Range Day

Berms rise high to the left and right,
they’ve created a wide gully,
another berm squares off the back,
so no stray rounds ever get free.

There’s a metal spinner back there,
sits just short of two hundred yards,
I squeeze back and the bullet flies,
recoil jolts shoulder and arm.

I hear that small, metallic ping,
and thrill that I’ve gotten a hit,
may

in defense of Donald Trump

in defense of Donald Trump

What is enduring is Trump's popularity 
of the working class, who live on truncated
income and has not reserved cash
at the end of the week
Is it because he speaks the language of us
uneducated masses and he reinforces 
the hatred of the middle class, who have
fancy titled jobs, but produce nothing
Politicians talk over their head
but

Premium MemberHistory Is Impartial

The real history knows how
To pick great men/women who know how
To serve, help, protect, defend and lead.
Great leader fights all the way
With his life, and never finds the easiest way.
Great leader fights against racism, corruption, greed
Selfishness, and protects his people at any cost.
Great men/ women stand their ground,
For everyone, regardless of the background.
History is an

Premium MemberIn Defense of Saxophones in Rock

I've got the lecture notes ready
I've got the examples 

Just blow what I'm telling you to blow
I am responsible for the resurgence of the sales of saxophones 

I unlock the doors of my car
By raising my right palm

You saw the crescent
I saw sod all 

You need a guitar player
Bass and the whole caboodle

But don't stop

Premium MemberIn Defense of Eve

She was not alone in the garden. 
It was not that Adam was in the back forty fishing, 
or out in the meadow still naming creatures.

He was right there beside her,
could have reached out and stopped her
from playing the devil's game.

He should have resisted, could have simply said no,
instead he was two-timed and lured by
