Three goofballs in spooky display,
One with hat, other's fangs on play!
With faces askew,
They jump out and boo,
Scaring laughs than fear on the way!

Donald Trump should be charged with treason
For plotting Trump-rule without reason
The GOP failed
And all should be jailed
Thank God for a Democrat season!*
* I am NOT a Democrat, but
the GOP should be dissolved after
clearly demonstrating it is only concerned
with wealth and power, and could care less
about Americans and the USA!

My last will and testament gives you all a giant farewell party, Rudolph said
Which made Dasher, Dancer, and Prancer, our biggest goofballs and I wish he was dead.

Forgive me for my seriousness
But I possess some humor, too;
Though my preference is that mood
Which I laugh last ‘til I’m blue.
I am no slapstick comedian
Like goofballs dance for a minute;
I’d rather make you laugh at your pain
So you won’t be so stupid.
Laughter’s a blessing, not a toy;
Cheap jokes and gossip are robbed of joy;
So fatten your wits ‘fore our chat starts,
In the end’s all fun and good for your heart.

Arrogant are the children of despair,
Battling demons that threaten to betray,
Caustically they bedevil the ensnared,
Damaging thus their reputations frayed.
Either they rise or die in that prison,
For none may escape its hostilities,
Given they'd welcome change to partition,
Hardly a thought regarding them bullies.
Indeed I say, hells incursion is harsh,
Justly they will see the bode of foresight,
Knowing fully they'd fall into a marsh,
Labouring thus to climb out of its spite.
Monstrous you feel in the name of rage,
Nightly wanting to ravage the goofballs,
Occasionally if that could be you'd page,
Proposing so some resolve to their falls.
Quenching too a grisly desire for blood,
Radical it might be but you're the key,
Salvation therefore will come like a flood,
Taking the despaired into a new spree.
Under your guidance they will be brutal,
Validating thus their life and ideals,
Wasted not, or wayside from the truthful,
X-rays will discover their lies concealed.
Your assail on them should be purposive,
Zestful too as they seek reasons to live.

Humans are such a combative lot
It's why we're under so much stress
We act like a bunch of goofballs
Little wonder the world's such a mess
Why can't we all just get along?
Don't get it, it's really too much
The pundits say it's human nature
Throw up their hands in disgust
Been like this since the very beginning
Nations fighting nations for more
Wonder if us guys could really survive
Without destruction, killings, or war
Do you think we'll ever see the day
When we live in harmony with each other?
There's not a freaking chance in hell
We'll just go on killing our brothers!
