Republican Repudiation

Republican Repudiation

Senator Larry Craig
Denied being a ***.
Caught foot-tapping at the airport Minneapolis-St. Paul
By a cop who happened to be in the next stall.

Premium Member While Minneapolis Burned

Walz fiddled while the city was burning

National Guard assist he was spurning

Just as Old Nero fiddled

Mayor Walz also diddled

His judgement was, oh, so undiscerning

Premium Member Pink House Boat

Her pink house boat is the talk of the folks of Minnesota Bay
Some of the delighted women of Minneapolis said, “hey! hey!”
I think it might be too girly, said her brother Billie Bee Boy.
But it gives lots of us a feeling of happiness, bringing us joy

Sailing up the mighty river towards Minneapolis snow
Scratching the mosquito bites from head to toe

Scenery stunning the closer the cruise up North
Several seasons succumb as we go forth

Premium Member Mary Haggis

Mary Haggis, little clown
With beak like blighted crows
And scary hair all lit aflame
Is where the woodbine grows.

           long winter

      we    wait





“Storm of the Century”  Minneapolis, Minnesota

“Roads Closed”…… City Plows pulled off the streets! “White-Out” Blizzard! I walked ½ block 
to the indoor track and it was like walking towards a runaway freight- train!

Premium Member The Wild West Reborn

     Can you remember when folks
        waited to hear the facts of a case
           to come out before rendering judgment

      It wasn’t too long ago that what we’re 
         witnessing in Minneapolis
           was known as ‘mob justice’

       Something we thought ended with the
          demise of cowboys and the wild west

Premium Member Cold Minneapolis

The wintry pall of cold Minneapolis,
two thirty-seven year olds,
shots thundered into an unexpected
eternity,
but youth promised to age,
to go on to another day.

A bleeding sacrifice,
suddenly the wintry pall of
cold Minneapolis,
became searingly bitter,
became unmercifully more frozen.
Sing of the lost peace,
in the candlelight and flowers
on the streets. ~

Parallels

Written By:  D. Collins 1/7/26


Project 2025 is staring us right in the face.
Kick everybody out except the Arion race.
Just take over countries like Hitler did.
And shoot down women in Minneapolis.



It sure feels like a welcome to the very end.
In hurry-up mood and expedited fashion.
Similarities can be drawn in parallel lines.
Jews aren't the victims at this point in time.

This is You

Wolves
Tell the sheep:

You don’t see us
Our teeth our hunger our own pain

You won’t see what we must do
To you

You see life and love through the lense
Of human beings

Oh how sweet
How touching
Friends and neighbors

We see you
Through what we want

Your wool your blurry vision
Your care for the Lamb

It’d be best if the world went dark
The last light
Doused

By us for you

Make you blind and bleating
Then what will you do

But worship us?

Premium Member The Andrew Sisters

From Minneapolis Minnesota three pop female musicians were born.
LaVerne, Maxene and Patricia, known as the Andrew Sisters
They introduced the United States to Jump Blues and Calypso
I recognize some of their hits instantly when I hear them.

Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree with Anyone Else But Me.
This trio’s music was jazzy and rhythmic, it was toe-tappingly fun.
Their songs had an up tempo, preceding rock and roll
Bette Midler is someone who can still sing in their unique style.

The Super Bowl

The supermarket carts are filled
With chips and dips and beer
To celebrate the Super Bowl
Which comes but once a year.

They’ll play in Minneapolis
Where it’s just three degrees,
But luckily the stadium’s
Indoors, so they won’t freeze.

I’m rooting for the Eagles
In the mem’ry of a friend
And because it’s time their zero wins
In Super Bowls should end.

As kick-off time approaches
We’ll all settle down to watch
And tomorrow there’ll be lots of belts
Made looser by a notch.
