As POTUS he fled from Afghanistan
     abandoning our troops in the sand 

   As VEEP he kowtowed to the Mullahs
     sent billions to the sponsors of Hamas and Hezbollah

   In Jerusalem today he lectured the Jews
     when fighting a war for survival what to do

   Israelis listened politely, perfunctorily clapped
     wishing the POTUS would go take a nap

What Some Pharisees Overhead

All that we had encountered
Of God, Fear kowtowed to.
Yet this, for sinner's relief
This, piteous, soaked through
Are we, here and now, told is
That face,the very same
Behind all that skied displeasure;
A vengefulness to name!

Premium MemberHigh Steaks

Farmer Dan, was a gambling man, who loved to play at some cards;
So to beat the band, he tried his hand, at the other farm yards.

On one day, he struck pay day, at the home of good farmer Dow,
And walked away, with some hay, plus a seven foot tall beef cow.

Dan looked so small, beside his large haul, as they sauntered back home;
But above all, Dan was feeling tall, and called his new cow, Gnome.   

Dan had the urge, to try and scourge, more farmers for some winnings,
And if he surged, he’d go splurge, with pockets that would be brimming.

His plan worked, as he clean and jerked, all kinds of swag from his friends;
Yet they were irked, and went berserk, wanting Dan to make amends.

So farmer Dow, wiped his wet brow, and sought one last game from Dan;
Though he kowtowed, he couldn’t wow, the farmers to join his plan.

Dow demanded, a game two handed, to settle up the score,
Plus he planned, to wager his land, for Gnome and quite a bit more.

Each was praying, because to stay in, they had to raise the stakes.
It goes without saying, they were playing, for more than just ‘High Steaks’.

When She Came, I Lost My Innocence

When She Came, I Lost My Innocence

From my red honed carpet
I determine to play innocent
Never touched a fly
A tender contender 

When you see her, I rehearse
Focus. Calm and calm
Claim your innocence
And point the point

But when she came
I blushed, bowed, kowtowed 
Looked away, gave away 
My innocence, and she knew it
Could not hold it
Guilty. Oh Boy. 
Go away. Freedom comes

Yesterday's News

At the peak of his power and fame,
           they trembled at the sound of his name,
                      like scared cats sneaking
                          past a dog sleeping,
         they kowtowed before him without shame.


              Now he's down, not much of any use,
                he's history, to them that's obvious,
                               openly  mocking,
                               playfully taunting,
           they now treat him like yesterday's news !
