If food and drink grace your table
If family and friends sit around
If roof towers above your head
If transport goes where you must
If to do your passions…
Friday, November 19th, 2021.
Another controversial verdict. The country braced itself.
For chaos.
For destruction.
For injury.
For death.
Thankfully, it mostly came to pass.
Two days after Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges for his actions on August 25, 2020, protests have been sporadic and peaceful across the…
Through all history’s stages
Battle scenes play out
Through glossy, thick pages
Men called to war remain stout.
With swords and shields
Across mountains and plains
Across forests and fields
Gripping horses’ reins.
With cannons and hulls
Under storm and clear
Under pelicans and gulls
Gripping helm and pier.
With…
“Bad Man” Aaron Rodgers of Green Bay
Does things his unique, creative way.
A few months ago, he said he was “immunized”…
Turn’s out, he’s unvaccinated and getting stigmatized.
For putting teammates and league at risk
The retribution has been quite brisk.
Sponsorship ended with Prevea Health
Two thousand, nine hundred seventy seven
Forcibly taken, begging questions.
For America why is there such hate?
What will be foreign policy’s fate?

Star Trek: TOS helped sci-fi grow
Its crew inspired us to look to the stars
To claim a…
Off California’s southern coast
A mess of which not to boast
One hundred thousand plus gallons of oil
Putting nature through extreme toil.
Some effects stare you right in the face.
Birds cannot keep up their migratory pace
Flying forty-five days for a month long trip
More easily caught by…
To abide or not to abide
The question begotten by my pride
Frustrations pile up, I’ve had enough
Worn down is my spirit, no longer tough
An ugly, painful truth I have to concede
With too many goals I do not succeed.
I cannot get a customer to sign
On…
You may have asked
Has the time passed?
For news and rhyme
Done at the same time?
The answer is nay-
I say to you hey!
Get ready for
Not a bore-
Humor and fact
Joined in tact.
AOC and her “Tax the Rich” dress
Made the elite sweat, a…
From land of poppy
From imperial graveyard
From nation building
After presidents, four
After years, twenty
After dollars, billions
Proud eagle flees
Many wishes unfulfilled
Many feathers plucked
Many hatchlings…
