Alas, we've elected bozos on both sides to again guide the nation!
(Some folks are sobbing in their ale, others are filled with jubilation!)
To rid this great nation of such knaves, here is what I would propose:
Elect retired noncoms who are well qualified to lead, heaven knows!
Noncoms are known for their integrity and by the way, lead from the front!
They don't take shhhtuff from anyone and are known to be rather blunt!
There should be a crusty Master Chief to head the Navy overseeing the fleet,
And a Marine Gunny Sergeant should occupy every congressional seat!
A Staff Sergeant who's been in the trenches should be the Secretary of Defense.
Chief Master Sergeants qualify for the oval office (Obama, take no offense!)
Sergeants First Class would eminently qualify for the Secretary of Labor.
They'd put deadbeats to work so as not to mooch off their neighbor!
There's a horde of Navy Petty Officers who'd qualify for Treasury Secretary,
Who've faithfully paid their taxes unlike some Yale czars to the contrary!
There's a brigade of Sergeants Major who'd excel as the Secretary of State,
Who'd tell other nations where to go if they didn't deal with us straight!
Master and Technical Sergeants are well qualified to occupy a governor's chair.
Their prime concern is the welfare of folks, not just building castles in the air!
Retired Noncoms are a special breed who believe in and uphold the Constitution!
Patriots who'd oust the current clowns, some of whom qualify for a mental institution!

Obama made a super speech;
Beyonce nailed her notes.
Michelle and her two daughters
Looked amazing in their coats.
“America the Beautiful,”
Though not my favorite choice,
Sounded soulful and affecting
Lilted in James Taylor’s voice.
The glamour crowd – ex-Presidents
And Justices Supreme,
Combined with all the average folk,
Reflecting on the theme:
America united!
For we’ll make the greatest strides
When all people join together,
Though we come from different sides.
That point was made poetically –
Of course, the perfect way –
In Richard Blanco’s masterpiece
Entitled “One Today.”
With universal imagery
To which we could relate,
His poem expanded on the message
Of the Chief of State.
For if you want your speech to soar,
You can’t just status-quo it;
The trick is searching ‘til you find
A clever, brilliant poet.
1. Apollo's Radiance
Find me not in the hollow
A dream is a dream is a dream
Find me among the trees and follow
In the sunlight I follow the gleam
Reality is difficult to swallow
So I found peace with Apollo
2. Discovery
It was a discovery to discover me
My soul was lost in the art of words
I found my heart in the golden sea
Dancing with the lovely birds
To discover me is to set me free
And love was the only key
3. Wisdom And Wit
I amuse myself with wisdom and wit
Do not tarry or dance around the truth
My intelligence could a king befit
Built from the struggles of a troubled youth
But you'll see I'm not without merit
I've survived worse with egregious grit
4. Magic Everywhere
Imagine a world with magic
Where dreams came true
That it is only a dream is truly tragic
But I found magic in my muse
A bevy of colors create a fabric
And a lovely world of magic
5, Courage In Fear
It is not weakness to feel fear
Only a fool fights instinct
In the gloom we despair what we hear
That which is indistinct
And when it draws near
It's okay to feel fear
6. True Persona
Long have I shunned who really I am
Out of fear I will bring them shame
But who I display is just a sham
Nothing will ever be the same
When I show who I really am
They'll probably tell me to scram
7. Mr. Obama
Sometimes I really miss Mr. Obama
Those eight years went by fast
I'm tired of the fear mongering and drama
And those who ignore the past
With courage I will fight this trauma
And fight Trump in honor of my mama
8. Workplace Woes
These days I deal with workplace woes
By sharing memes and rhymes
I could count every woe on my toes
In these increasingly uncertain times
And I've dealt with the highs and lows
It clearly shows in my prose
Note: I wrote these thinking they were Cinquains only to realize I was doing it wrong. Anyway I figured I'd just post them all here as one collection!
How I'd relish standing Obama at a brace and show him how to salute!
He's shown zero respect to the Marines and I suppose he thinks he's cute.
No one salutes with a coffee cup in hand, not even the rawest, dumbest recruit!
Should a soldier, sailor, airman or marine do such, he'd suffer the toe of a boot!
He's been seen on camera saluting the flag with his left hand over his chest;
With hands over his crotch or no salute at all with neither hand on his breast.
If the president is interested in gaining the respect of those who keep us free,
I'd volunteer to teach him the rudiments of saluting as learned by this old retiree!

I ordered an appetizer of broccoli
but was served Ehud Barak-Lee
Tried again for an appetizer of broccoli
this time was served Obama Barak-Lee
For the third time, an appetizer of broccoli
instead, got ‘Sir’ Charles Barkley
Fed up... rather darkly, I requested some sparkly
the result, ta-da ~ two drumsticks from Ringo Starkey!
_______________________________________________________________
JIC (Just in Case) you're not enamored of either Israeli
politics or NBA basketball stars: Ehud Barak was a former
5-star general and prime minister of Israel, who tried to
give away 97% of 'Palestine' to Yasir Arafat, who turned
it down... Sir' Charles Barkley was a superstar professional
basketball player for over a decade, although he is better
known for outrageous opinions and creative profanities...
Also, 'JIC,' Ringo Starr's -- the Beatle's -- last name was and
is actually Starkey; and Barack Hussain Obama was America's
first Kenyan-Hawaiian-1/2 Muslim-1/2 Christian American
President. (Bill Clinton, of course, was America's first, and
phoniest, of America's black presidents, Joe Biden being the
second). gw
Frank Zappa
Was always my musical hero
Ever since I first heard his music
Back in 1974
He blew me away
With his musical genius
His satirical wit
His mastery of rock
Classical and jazz influences
I soon became a big Zappa fiend
Went to several live shows
Bought lots of Zappa records
Later Zappa cd's
He died way too soon
He would have had a great time
Making sense
Of the Bush two era
Obama
And especially Trump
He was not one
To suffer fools gladly
And saw through
So much of the nonsense
In our life
Especially our dysfunctional politics
He was a prophet
Way ahead of his day
Foreseeing much of what
Had sadly transpired
Since his untimely death
Many not -Zappa fans
Never get beyond
The satire
But there was so much
More to Frank
Than
Don't eat the Yellow Snow
His best song of all
Perhaps his warning
About the pervasive negative impact
Of Television
With his immortal warning
I am the slime
Oozing out of your TV set
Or his prophetic song
About the mass media
Obsession with the latest
Crime story
In More Trouble Every day
And who can forget
His anti-peace corps anthem
Who needs the Peace Corps?
Or brown shoes don't make it
Or Jewish Princess
Or sheik ya booty
Disco boy?
Dynamo hum
Moving to Montana
And all the rest
Of his classic takedown
Of contemporary American society?
Yeah
Frank Zappa
Died way too soon
He would have made sense
Of the Trumpian world
I wished he was still alive
With us today
Until he can return
I will be forced
To freak out
Alone
In my head
And when I am at the dentist
His song about torture
The torture never stops
Comes along
To calm my fears
Of dental torture
Thanks, Frank
For all the memories
And the wisdom
Over the years
It's bout to get worse
It was written in the verse
The truth hurts
ARMAGEDDON WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
When the time comes
No one's gonna hold up a sign
saying it's time to "get right"
It's gone come like a thief in the night!
Blowin' up and wreckin ish!
The war you want is the war you gone get
It was written before our time
We keep looking at the signs
manifest before our very eyes
constantly denying our right
to be one of the meek ones of our time
ARMAGEDDEON WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
We're at the end of what used to be existence
Every super power will answer to a higher power
so pray repentence
The time is closer than any distance
From Washington to Obama
No one will escape the wrath!
Hope you choose the right path!
Narrow is the gate of the righteous tracks
that are imprented on the mind of the omnipotent one
Will you be spared life on earth with the meek ones
and accurately take in knowledge of his son?
OR will you perish in the dust
never to be awakened again?
No consciousness of sin
ARMAGEDDON WILL NOT BE TELEVISED!
It's in the verses
Read it, see it, live it, rehearse it
You see the times changing
You see the minds fading
You see the world and how messed up it is
You see that nigga satan and his curses!
I pray to have a chance to live a beautiful paradise on earth like it say in the verses!
ARMAGEDDON WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN WARNED
President's Day is approaching so I thought I would further your education,
By revealing useless trivia about some of the dudes who've served our nation.
President Washington actually had to borrow money to get to his inauguration.
He wore size 13 shoes and seldom took a bath much to Martha's indignation!
Abe Lincoln agreed his wasn't the prettiest face when all was said and done!
Once called 'two-faced' he said, "If I had two faces, do you think I'd wear this one?"
James Buchanan was nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other,
Causing him to lean his head to the left and close one eye, which was a bother!
For his breakfast, Ulysses Grant loved cucumbers soaked in vinegar to eat!
He probably saved his hide since he declined to join Abe in his theater suite!
Woodrow Wilson was plagued with indigestion and was blind in one eye.
He had a pet sheep named Old Ike that chewed tobacco and that ain't no lie!
Cal Coolidge used a paucity of words so that many folks thought him dead!
He liked his head rubbed with Vaseline while eating his breakfast in bed!
Harry Truman kept a sign on this desk that read, "The Buck Stops Here!"
Remembered will be his scorching letter to an editor defending Margaret's career!
'Tis well-known that Ronnie Reagan dearly loved Nancy and jelly beans,
And was happiest at his ranch riding a horse and wearing old jeans!
And finally, from Barack Obama we learned that there are fifty-seven states,
And that he makes skillful use of a teleprompter to ensure there are no misstates!
Th-th-thats all folks - more than you ever wanted to know about these chaps!
(There's much more I could reveal but it best be kept under close wraps!)

Two men stood in my youth
Upon a pedestal which all beheld
Both placed on the reality behind the screen
I put my hand to it and cried
You were my only friends
Mr. Obama, you spoke about change.
All I wanted was change from my dreary life,
And then the other came.
Oh Shrek so glorious in your rotundity,
With you around I felt safe
Your smiling mouth, ears, and eyes
Gave me the comfort I needed to feel.
And there from my surprise
I heard him Mr. Obama say, “We will give it one more try.”
I thought he spoke of his second election
But he spoke of something I could not believe
He pointed to that strange onion
And Shrek smiled him and looked him in the eye
“Believe me!” He cried,
“Your always welcome in MY SWAMP.”
And so he left the swamp of Washington to another,
And chose to live with his significant other
“No more Fiona, my first gentleman.”
And so they winked and kicked Donkey outside.
And so I stood and waited as the green pair came upgraded
“We will defend you young person”
I thanked them and shook their firm hands.
You are too good for us to understand. Fly away free birds.
And so it was they returned to the little TV box.
I never saw them again they disappeared and I felt all was for naught
But as I crawl into bed
I once again see them floating over me-in my head.
Its, ugh, never Ogre
“It’s a total lie, never happened, fake news”,
Trump utters these words every day,
And he utters them not because any are true,
But to turn black and white truth into grey.
Then grey becomes a voice of “OK, it happened,
But, really, it’s not a big deal”
And to the rest of the world watching aghast,
His voice starts to sound like a squeal.
A squeal of a man stretching a reason, to
“O.K. It’s a big deal, but legal, so who cares?”
Now we all know what’s coming, watching this Titanic,
Sink as he rearranges the chairs.
“Ok it’s illegal, but Obama and Clinton,
Did “something” about “something”, so there”
This representative of the states shifts blame every day,
While still combing over his hair.
Now eagles with morals read emails to Putin,
Looking for a faux pas, for a reason.
To be done with this denier of everything true,
To dismiss him for committing a treason.
