Farewell to Whitney.
An angelic voice is still.
We will remember
you graced us with your music.
We have lost a great treasure.

Whitney Houston

Travelling the world,
Seeking the mystical poetess,
No Tomb too dark or scary,
No too evil Nazi so wary...
This Jewel must be returned
To the Soup Treasury....

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.

Another gunman opened fire and went wild.
Among his four deceased victims was a child.
It all happened in Orange, California, near Los Angeles.
Many people are outraged because of this.
Why have there been numerous shootings like these?
I'm afraid in the near future, there will be more fatalities.

The leader of this country is a ying-yang.
He rules from the city of Pyongyang.
After sixty years of uneventful peace,
this xenophobic jerk wants it to cease.
He is willing to wage war with the south.
Some unintelligible words come from his mouth.
He is too young to know what the first war was like.
His countrymen should tell him to take a hike.

Telling blacks not to come to a basketball game.
That is such a racist remark and a shame.
Making such a comment is an absurdity.
In the professional basketball community,
African-Americans make up the great majority.
Those words said were a public disgrace.
Everywhere in any professional sports place,
room should be made for any color and race.

With all the towns and cities we've got,
where can you go without getting shot?
Another fool went on a shooting spree.
This time, at a Federal Express facility.
The city was in Indiana called Indianapolis;
eight persons dead and many wounded because of this.
Another sad episode we hear about on the news.
Yes, the senseless murder of persons continues.

Woke up early on this fateful and sad day
to find AOL had cut me off
over some bill I'd failed to pay
I found my anger, up I did cough!

faced with a day without my daily "soup"
Good Lord!, just how will I get by?
my spirits start to droop
I could not help but start to cry

Now I find I'm suffering
from a new form of P.M.S.
"Panic Minus Soup" is what it stands for
Oh, Lord, I sure am now in a mess!...

I understand, if not for you, I would not know the sad news,
I know you are a brilliant person, working at a young age,
In sales in Flea Markets, and such,
I just want to let you know,
Your brother was proud of you,
And of that you should never doubt...
Please keep in touch with me,
Quasarttt228@aol.com...
You now carry the Trotiner mantel,
A legacy I know you are worthy of...

and Thank You, Tom Bell...

People of Europe, be careful of what you eat.
What has been branded as beef is actually horsemeat.
How could any legitimate business do something like that?
Horse flesh is not fit to feed to a dog or cat.
To sell butchered horses, would somebody be willing and able?
Those four-hoof beasts of burden don’t belong on the table.
We should keep our fine riding friends in the stable.

A big Hollywood star decided to go
to play some blackjack at a Las Vegas casino.
The management did not like what was going on.
Suspected of card counting, the actor was gone.
This episode appeared in need of a reality check.
How does one keep track of aces and tens in each deck?
The scene presented itself to be unclear and quite mucky.
Is it not permissible for patrons to get lucky?

This man held a prestigious position in our nation.
He was director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
A sudden decision caused him some grief.
He had been relieved of duties by our Commander-In-Chief.
The man was someone the President could do without.
With the director's ability, there was some doubt.
So where does this separation go from here?
Just stay tuned and keep a sharp ear.

Virginia Beach, Virginia is a popular spot.
With a beach and a boardwalk. it's got a lot.
So many nice days can be spent in the surf and sun.
Bring the whole family where they can all have fun.
It seems like such a nice place as any can be.
However, it is not immune to violent activity.
One Friday night, a shooter killed two and wounded eight.
This makes one wonder when shootings will abate.

A lizard from somewhere landed on a plate.
Having his head in a kale salad was a terrible fate.
The remains were back in the kitchen all the while.
How did the preparer miss spotting the reptile?
This is not what the average dining customer would want.
It happened at lunch at a Manhattan restaurant.
The woman got a refund for the salad after the event.
The owner of the establishment simply stated:  “No comment”.

There were some more hate crimes the other day.
Eight unfortunate victims had their lives blown away.
The murders happened at spas around Atlanta.
This is the largest city in the southeastern state of Georgia.
It seems Asian-Americans all over our nation
have been targeted with crimes and racial discrimination.
This has culminated into an unfortunate growing trend.
It seems racially-motivated hatred will never see an end.

I’m becoming obsolete – 
I still have AOL
And use a land line when I’m home
(It’s on the wall, as well).

I send most greeting cards with stamps
And wash my plates by hand.
I light my oven with a match,
Which some can’t understand.

I perk my coffee, read from books
(Not Kindles or its cousins)
And write my poems in pencil
(Which I sharpen by the dozens).

The world is changing much too fast
And life is passing by
But I’ll be obsolete for sure
Before I up and die....

A little pre-dawn shaking was going on around LA.
Early morning risers got a jolt on St. Patrick’s Day.
This quake went the same way so many had gone before.
Today, it measured on the Richter scale at 4.4.
Nobody was hurt, and no damage had been done.
However, experiencing an earthquake is scary and not fun.
Was it the spirit of St. Patrick romping along the heather?
No, it was just two tectonic plates rubbing together.

Another mass shooting has occurred in America.
This time, it happened in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
A doctor, his wife, two grandchildren, and another were killed by a gun.
A former NFL player was deemed the culpable one.
That player was found dead from a shot self-inflicted.
This was a tragic event nobody could have predicted.
How many more unfortunate victims have to die?
It leaves many shaking their heads and asking why.
