The test of time
Turn of the centuries
Living then into now
Planning for tomorrow
Destiny with a promise
Doubt on the mind with no assurance
Thought of tomorrow to be
A wait and see
Preparing and embracing
Expecting to explore
Nothing to ignore
Shall and Can
A matter of when
Organize and be ready
Be patient and hold steady
Expect results
See overtime felt.
Revolution begins with a change of mind
I never stop changing mine
Trump A Revolting Development
Trump is revolting development who plagiarizes,
And everything that he tries to do disguises;
About parade size,
Told many lies;
Have heard that his dry hair has psoriasis.
Jim Horn
What a Revolting Development
What a revolting development Trump has been,
And he will always be doing it again and again;
Much iniquity can be found in the Trump den.
Not only that found ourselves full of despair;
Trump has been big pain in you know where;
Up us he will butter;
Sometimes stutter;
And like less about anyone could he ever care.
Jim Horn
Mrs twit sat wondering,
As the storm outside was thundering,
she scratched her head and thought so hard
why she was always called a big fat tart,
Mrs Twit felt her tummy rumble,
As she slipped and fell to the ground with a tumble,
She fixed herself a treat so yum,
if you knew it would make your face go numb,
she ate up the bowl of maggots dipped in ketchup,
and dropped worm juice all over her sketch book,
It was that good anyway,
All she drew were frogs let me say.

An insect we found in a loaf of bread
But, at least, it was very safely dead
How the bug came there, I don’t know
Such things can easily happen, though
Though not very pleasant to mention
The baker had a moment of inattention
Into the batter the critter took a dive
But only for seconds remained alive
The loaf was baked at a high heat
There it was, antennae, body, feet
Any germs were surely destroyed
So the bread can safely be enjoyed
But some might not find it so keen
To have this bit of added protein
Others on the bread will munch
And not mind the extra crunch
