Th Poet-Labor Day

Labor Day

It’s just another holiday?

You should read the tale

of how the Pullman strike

made U.S. pols turn pale.

The government reacted

with soldiers and police.

The workers had a wildcat strike...

made commerce almost cease.

The Prez knew angry workers

must be mollified.

He pledged to them a holiday

to honor those that died.

Now Labor Day is many things

as summer fun is over.

We should cease to wear white clothes...

even your dog Rover.

Soon school will start, vacations end,

we picnic and have fun.

But, remember as you play,

the workforce this day won.

The Poet-Caveat...

Caveat ...

Caveat emptor is a phrase

that most of us have heard.

It states the buyer should beware

for perps will say it’s we that erred.

Caveat lector is the phrase

that states such sellers should beware.

For should one err, clients stir,

and one blog reaches everywhere.

The Poet-The Vote

The Vote

Some are party bound...

their choice is Red or Blue.

The sage gives heed to all

and votes for who...not hue.

The Poet-Justice (Phil Falcone )

Justice

(Phil Falcone) 

If you’d truly punish crooks,

give them more than dirty looks.

The Poet-To Congress

To Congress

(Egypt, Syria, Afghanistan...et al)

Don’t give our money freely,

when known not who receives.

You could give to honest men,

and it end up with thieves.

How many lessens do you need

before the truth sinks in?

You may just succor enemies

regardless who may win.

The Poet- Paparazzi

Paparazzi!  Pictures

of those who earn acclaim

are socially accepted

as fee due for their fame.

But their children, friends or kin

are morally exempt...

and, if one pic disrupts their lives,

you’ve earned from all contempt.

The Poet-Overcrowded Jails

Overcrowded Jails

(Eric Holder, Attorney General)

Too many druggies fill our jails,

we’re running out of space.

If we let some go, he rails,

it lessens that disgrace.

Since some don’t really use that much,

and should not bed with crooks,

it would be a tender touch

to modify the legal books.

But, many oft repeat the act...

if freed, they’ll search for funds.

If no one gives them what they lack,

I fear they’ll morph to perps with guns.

The Poet-The Weather

The Weather

What’s wrong with Mother Nature...

seems She is in a snit.

Her earthquakes, storms and lightning bolts

make us survive on innate grit.

These are Her tools to warn us

that Man Her plan must help maintain...

and, show She can, with careless pique,

expunge all that Man can attain.

The Poet-A-Rod...et al

A-Rod...et al

Is your sentence too extreme

for violating rules?

Performance enhancing drugs

are known illegal tools.

Too many athletes use them,

and from their use excel.

They become rich, then sit and bitch

when record books their names expel.

The Poet-The Polls

The Polls

Politicos!  The polls now show

we think you sham this nation.

And don’t you know, you worried so,

you booked a long vacation.

The Poet-August

August

August has no holidays,

the only month without.

I guess we’ve had so many

all fireworks were blown out.

But, that is when I lounge or play

in forests, peaks or beaches.

I’m careful though, to stay away

from skeeters, bears or leeches.
