The Laureate-Someone Blink!

When Blues lived high upon the Hill,

they cried Red pols defiled the Will.

Now Reds control the power base

and Prez, who’s Blue, makes growth standstill.

The Laureate-Malfeasance?

Malfeasance or inanity...

when pols just waste our hard-earned tax.

It’s time we find the truth, my friends,

are they all crooks...or but gimcracks?

The Laureate-Lobbyists

I hear the news, probe Internet,

and oft must weigh what they beget.

Our pols it seems ignore all taint

that does abound from their foul sweat.

The Laureate-Nature

Why do we call it mother,

she oft acts like a nut?

What mother would take sustenance

and mete out till it glut,

while others in her aegis

find doors to needs long shut.

Before you choose this “Mom” to pray,

ponder the rules all must obey.

To live there is no right or wrong

for either hunter or the prey.

{and peace on earth would fade away.}

The Laureate-Politicaians

With beards of gray they often say

they fight our foes near ev’ry day.

If so, they need to hone their skills...

few fears, if any, fade away.

The Laureate-My Valentine

Oh Eros, your arrows must fly to her true,

and thoughts of love contain.

The first sight she sees as barb breaks through

must will her this ardent swain.

A shaft sent awry, if someone’s nearby,

could send her love off to another.

A gaze at a mirror with someone else near her

and she just might bed her half-brother.

This worry, I think, could drive me to drink…

I question the skill of your aim.

The stupid doubt Cupid, but I tend to think,

I’ll pray this terse verse fans a flame.

The Laureate-College Sports

College Sports

(ASU vs U of A et al)

When I watch the student’s ploys

to obfuscate through flak or noise,

I feel they need a special course

to teach them to control their poise.
(not graduate as nasty boys)

The Laureate-Food Safety

                                               Dear Prez:

We now have agencies galore

to keep food safe...and much, much more.

Our problem is tasks overlap

‘cause lobbyists perturbed their chore.

Make lobbyists stay in the wings,

and barred from stressing biased things.

Surround yourself with learned men,

and see what good noesis brings.
