The Poet-April Fools

April Fools

Be not, like most, but April Fools,

plodding through Life's maze like mules,

while parasites, with sham, display

the course they’d have you trip this day?

The Poet-Amateur Athlete Unions

Amateur Athlete Unions?

So athletes can form unions

even while in school.

I think the judge who granted this

is our world’s biggest fool.

What can they negotiate

and be an amateur?

I’d like to see the contracts

when lawyers get their say.

The athletes will get fancy perks

and they will get the pay.

The Poet-Spring

Spring

The birds and bees and youth now sing...

the winter grouch should now relax.

That’s true, but there’s just one more thing...

he has to pay his income tax.

The Poet-March Madness

March Madness

Few can count, as pressures mount,

what force Luck blends this judgment day.

The bound of ball can skill surmount

your choice to play in future fray.

The Poet-Beware St. Paddy's Day

Beware St Paddy’s Day!

{The keg’s dregs.}

I loved to be an Irishman

for one day of the year,

until I woke next morning

with wife as souvenir.

The Poet-No Call List

No Call List

The politicians passed a law

which told the leeches not to call.

But shyster lawyers found some holes

through which the perps can crawl.

As usual politicos

can only pass fiascos.

(and why we call them...)

The Poet-Basketball Playoffs

Basketball Playoffs

The team for which I rooted

unfortunately lost.

Though refs should now be booted,

and all bad fouls be tossed.

Watch my tv and you will see

the game much more objectively.
