Come what may
I’ll rue the day
If Trump should reign
What have we to gain?
This self-serving twit
Is never legit
And I for one
Wish he were done!

Collaboration with Marcello Eans
Enough, Already!
Seriously people, when is enough… enough?
For too many of you, the answer is never.
How can a million a game be living in the rough?
Do you really want us to think that all of you suffer?
How many cars or houses do you really need?
Are you aware of the hunger problems in the

Tis said we can have:
“too much of a good thing.”
Which prompts the question:
“How much is too much?”
Sadly, too much
Is often “too little, too late”
As it is the result of
“too much, too soon”
Because “too much is never enough”
when “enough is not enough”
‘nuff said.

A drive into the city
Reminds me of my morbidity --
Traffic zipping every which way
Makes for a most stressful day

I make no attempt in hiding how I feel,
*I have just watched my umpteenth Medicare speel.
Thanks to old actors, jocks, and assorted jerks,
our mute button's broken and no longer works.
* Since the start of the year. LOL

If I turn on the TV news, they’re talking about Trump
If I go to my computer, umpteen pictures of the Dumpf
If I go to a party everyone’s talking about the Donald
I am sick and tired of being Donald Trump pummeled!

You’re dawn’s ghost of a chance each new day can find meaning,
dusk’s thanks to creation, for gifts we’ve received.
You paint rhythm on roadblocks blank minds won’t let faze them,
revealing new words to lift poets from daze.
You’re fresh insights rhyme brings to the stupor of dullards,
not dreaming muse drifts when they raft what’s perverse!
You’re the

It's not the colour of your skin
It's the passion that resides within
Those of us who have a brain
Don't want these problems to remain
We need to try our very best
To put the distant past to rest
Marching forward together in peace
Helping all our problems to decrease

It was the sixth wedding for daughter Judy
who was quite plain and hardly a beauty.
Time came to give away the bride
whereupon her Father replied
"five times I've tried--I've done my duty."

This winter will go down in history
As one of the coldest snowiest winters on record
We have literally mountains of snow piled up everywhere
Because there is no longer any place to put it
Quite a sight really if you like that kind of stuff
Personally I've had more than enough of snow and winter
To last me a lifetime...

Speak not ill of competition,
Tell not happily of his sin.
Inform me of your position.
I then can vote the best to win.
When I listen to your ranting.
It pains me so, grosses me out.
Find your lies so disenchanting,
They are no truer when you shout.
November will be too soon here
You are still in a leaky boat.
Both of

Where have you been? I’ve worried so.
I feared to leave the nest.
That Mr. Crow was hanging round.
You know he’s such a pest
He taunted me and said that you
were a bold philanderer
and that you’d be deserting me
and running off with her.
I know what he was doing,
just trying to get my goat
so I’d leave our home unguarded.
That

Oh how I love thee with your white and dark meat
Thou art the very best
But because of you, I can’t see my feet
My navel is two feet from my chest
To diet and lose so I don’t wobble no more
I would be very willing
It would be impossible now, because somehow
I finished four bowls of filling
My wife
