Bar none, the eagle, sought.
Two par as golf ball hits the green.
Akin to sailing a yacht -
money speaks on the screen.
He was a swinger, growing up,
sundry-sized clubs in hands.
Would receive jug, jacket, cup.
Victorious, he’d sell brands.
His first eagle was a high -
pop…pop, onto the green.
Spot on coordination, hand-eye -
against the odds, only thirteen.
Camille sprang for an albatross,
a show off, a trophy at thirteen -
a rare double-eagle; shows who’s boss.
Student’s million-to-one shot was keen.
The shot heard ‘round the earth.
She’s activating all kinds of smarts.
How much will Kenosha girl be worth?
The pop…pop breaking hearts.

Chicago Bears are Raven mad
But Lions roar that's just too bad
With Rittenhouse free
To shoot you and me
Belfry Bats are cheering for Vlad*

The jury is out!
Something bad happened
and something good has to pay.
We wait, anticipate til late.
Outside, concrete mine fields multiply.
We don't need more sticks and stones,
send the rifles home for now
for everything is getting too heavy to carry.
When the snow falls
we will huddle in a muddle
count the beans until something adds up.
No matter what, nobody wins.

Another senseless shooting has occurred again.
This time, it was in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Three men killed and three others injured at a bar.
The suspect was caught after stealing a car.
Isn't this something we all hate to see?
These incidents have been happening too frequently.

Kenosha burned last night,
The flames engulfed the streets.
The peaceful protestors rioted.
Shops and stores set alight,
The flames lunged forward.
The peaceful protestors looted.
Homes and houses lit so bright,
The flames rolled toward them.
The peaceful protestors rampant.
The Gov denounced police
And bound the NG with ROE.
The peaceful protestors released.

Superman Show Was Cancelled
Started to embark
We ran into Joan of Arc
Was with Kent a Clark.
Wrote cute canticle
And song purpose did fulfil
Then fired at w(W)ill.
Will had not been well
Our singing seemed to be swell
William had to t(T)ell
Recently had heard
Kent had been sealed in cement
So show was cancelled.
Like at Trump's inauguration
which should have been in
Kenosha where everyone
never came and were
a no show. While being
condescending to Wisconsin
What we say on the horizon
was none other than Eddie
Munster in charge of all the
conciliatory representatives.
Have you noticed the
similarity lately?

Who feeds birds because birds are hungry?
Don't they have bread to eat because someone is lonely?
Did pupils bring forth apples for teacher because pupils were friendly?
Perhaps...... but didn't they expect something?
"Spread knowledge on me like a cake decorator with buttercream icing!!!"
Why would Mrs. Smith want to keep the doctors away anyhow when the insurance these days is so practical?
Will you trade it for pay? We'll throw in a hand full of sick days
Are kids enjoying soup anymore?
Smacks of unfashionable bribery
You still have a little about the chin Johnny
Did people really gamble their fate for
Mere pantry staples?
There was a lady just the other day
Down on Kenosha complaining how she couldn't
Give it away
I mean..... Who falls for the same joke twice?
