Premium Member To Dream in Binary and Bits

		I.

To dream in binary and bits,
     then copy, send with virus-like,
electronic, image file hits.
To dream in binary and bits,
takes computer programming wits.
     Like Lawnmower Man, Musk's god-like:
but Elon's prone to enraged fits,
when Teslas burn by fiery blitz.


		II.

A.I. Chatbots, like Elon's Grok,
     have smarter brainpower, logic,
and circuits than Musk's fanboy flock.
A.I. Chatbots, like Elon's Grok,
use fast, brainy, GPU clocks.
     But Donald Trump, demagogic,
compared to Grok is dumb as rocks,
lacks judgment—needs time in the dock!

Premium Member Persia Reborn

     A holiday is coming our way
       when Jew-haters almost carried the day

     The demagogic Persia of 2,500 years ago
        reborn today as Iran we know

     Eerie remembrance of horrors past
        for failure to terror smash

     Would that the heroes of the Purim of old
        inspire us moderns to be as bold

     Esther and Mordechai, rise up again
        another Holocaust to prevent

X marks the spot




Monstrously Machievellian

Demonic pedagogic

Ominously Orwellian

Demagogic logic 

Fools’ Musk-ovite mules

Zuckerberg zeitgeist heist

Dickensian dystopia rules

Google last post bugle 

Fossil fuels myopia drools

Bellicose Bezos blows

Bro-ligarchy mates’ malarkey

Unions demonstrate

Amazon defenestrate 

Hades Gates hierarchy

In the dock

Murdoch foxy skulduggery

Poxy TikTok runs amok

Crass puns..shock thuggery

This lot don't give a jot
.
Bitter sh**ter Twitter

Greedier needier seedier

The death of mass media

X marks the spot!


Premium Member The Return of 'The Great Society'

The Great Society has returned
  Its leader now not LBJ
But Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
  His hair all white; his ideas frayed

It didn't work then, it won't work now
  'Coz it's not a matter of know-how
The old 'War on Poverty' needs be the new War on Crime
  The same mistake made back then, and now this time

A society with a law-and-order breakdown
  Invites demagogic rule and more violence
It needs to be met with a strong, firm hand
  Not with 'Defund-the-Police' or just silence

Good, high-paying union jobs, old Joe proposes
  So we can ruin infrastructure like we've ruined education
With their shouts of racism, injustice, and inequity
  Our well-paid teachers keep kids out of classrooms as long as can be

I could go on and on here, but what's the use
  Once government unions take over, incompetence breaks loose

Tea Party Taste Test

The pedestrian kettle steams on to the Capitol pyre
With a weight watcher tonic; more lean legislators to sire
The Grand Old Party a taste of the aromatic brew doth require
Medicinal tonic blended to alleviate bloating gout of every Democratic squire
Preferring their watered-down, generic brand, constipated digestive tracts go haywire
The savy financiers sit on the sidelines in their cozy markets ignoring the taste test flier
The partisan grit clogs the filter producing a quagmire
The vitriolic ingredients boil over causing a rancid fire
The billowing smoke rises and streams to the patrician choir
The generic master brewer in his white house stews in the demagogic mire
Commercial winds sweep in fanning the flames causing the heat to reach dome's spire
The regurgitated grounds spewed forth to every intoxicated shire
Democratic gainsayers scare the elderly that the side effects are so dire
The rest of the squeamish plebians in their depleted hovels continue to sip their Common Roast with ire
