The Laureate-Tonight's Midnight

Tonight’s Midnight

When the ball drops at midnight,

it brings another year.

When you raise your glass tonight

remember it does not quell fear.

It just starts another day...

pray your kiss keeps your love near!

The Laureate-New Year's Eve Toast

New Year’s Eve Toast

I will welcome 2020

but pray the babe that’s new

will be better parented,

and those this year are through.

Who tended babe and planet

made very big mistakes.

They argued all the time,

and now our whole world shakes.

To teach the baby what is right,

let’s practice peace from day of birth,

and let him share the value of

how much Man’s peace is worth.

The Laureate-As The Don Breaks

As the Don Breaks

Trump tends to brag about the DOW...

says it is highest ever now.

It aids the rich,

yet poor still bitch...

he’s morphed every Christian vow.

{The Don breaks, and he forsakes!}

The Laureate-The You Year!

The You Year!

What to deep six, or follow through...

when red or blue attack your hue,

but now must choose

to render bruise,

to those that lie to deceive you.

{It matters not what their lies begot...

it matters but what you sense in gut.}.

The Laureate-Polar Melt Fini {7}

Polar Melt Fini {7}

The Polar poems to waken pols

were mostly planned to bare their scowls...

not aimed at me,

but Trump you see,

for his ripostes... now branded fouls.

The Laureate-Polar Melt {6}

Polar Melt {6}

Carbon must be our biggest foe

but find it has a deadly bro.

Plastics can take a thousand years

to know what microplastics stow.

It’s in our salt and ocean fish...

it could be spice on your dish.

We must not wait to learn our fate...

best sequester and abolish.

   { Pols: Now you best take on these two...

before things really go askew!}

The Laureate-Polar Melt {5}

Polar Melt {5}

Hydrocarbons form our plastic...

from water pails to a chopstick.

It fills our oceans, lakes and streams

and pols must best do something quick.

{When they deemed to pass a law,

they chose to blame the lowly straw.}

The Laureate-Polar Melt {4}

Polar Melt {4}

Greenhouse gases absorb sun’s rays,

a blanket forms and weather faze.

Hence, come the storms and fires from winds...

yet pols just watch as world decays.

{You cannot merely watch...

you’re beyond what fools may botch!}

The Laureate-Polar Melt {3}

Polar Melt {3}

Pols heard the problem o’er the years

but scoffed and said, “Do not waste tears...

the money from coal and natural gas

helps energy quell all your fears.”

{Those words said strong

are now found wrong!}

The Laureate-Polar Melt {2}

Polar Melt {2}

What is happening in the sea

on land and air...Man is guilty!

Flora and fauna already die

and humankind now lags blindly.

(We must form a useful plan,

or this may be the end of Man.)

The Laureate-Impeachment 121819

The Impeachment 121819

The RNC says there’s no proof

that the Prez has broken the law...

and, I guess, therein lies truth,

while Dem witnesses they stonewall!

{An oath cannot be modified

for God cannot be set aside!}

The Laureate-The Polar Melt

The Polar Melt

It is time that our pols awake

and take the controls for Man’s sake.

The ocean’s rise just lessens land,

but as it heats less fish at hand.

{Men get mumbly when hungry!}

The Laureate-Fifteen Thousand Trump Lies

Fifteen Thousand Trump Lies

O’er fifteen thousand lies Trump’s told...

red pols and base on him still sold.

If they don’t know what is fake news,

they have been bilked a thousandfold.

{They are enrapt by Trump’s hoodoos.}

The Laureate-Moscow Mitch and Trump

Moscow Mitch and Trump

Seems Moscow Mitch and Trump are one,

and both could be a Putin son.

Putin is their puppet master,

and that trio bodes disaster.

The Laureate-Impeachment 121219

Impeachment 

After over seventy days,

I am by red pols quite amazed.

When they say witnesses are wrong...

I guess by facts they are not fazed.

Over and over red pols say

that what Trump says all must obey.

Trump never, ever makes mistakes...

that we can’t always flush away.

{Soon voter’s hours will test your powers!}

The Laureate-Trump 121119

Trump

As Dems impeach, Trump tweets angry

malice he calls diplomacy.

Red pols and base

should sense disgrace,

but comfort him and just ante.

{You flip your coin high in the air...

but all may lose if Trump’s still there!}

The Laureate-Impeachment Articles

Impeachment Articles

Dems let Trump off easy...

they only cited two.

His crimes encompass more

from voter’s point of view.

He failed his pledge to drain the swamp...

replaced the crocs with all his crooks.

He cajoled money for a wall,

and Congress let him cook their books.

He pledged to all he’d keep them safe...

then decreased rules that sheltered us.

He’s angered good friends in NATO,

but to Putin rare makes a fuss.

{Consider to add what I’ve said

and applause may be widespread.}

Impeachment 12919

The Ship of State is mired in muck

and throw them out if they are loath!}

The Laureate-December 7, 1941

December 7, 1941

Though young I still remember

how on that fateful day,

the look of shock in mother’s eyes

said that our world had just turned gray.

Then came the deprivation...

rationing for our army’s needs.

The radio and the cinema

swelled our hearts with their brave deeds.

Resolve and toil helped win that war...

near eighty years our land stands free,

but those who bore that world war

know we must watch foes constantly.

The Laureate-NATO Meeting

NATO Meeting

Trump blustered at the NATO meet.

He must think that he rules the earth.

Normally, friends you don’t browbeat...

best pause to consider their worth.

Trump, when you bluster...foes may muster.}

The Laureate-Impeachment Hearing 12419

Impeachment Hearing 

I watched new hearing on TV,

the outcome was the same for me.

Sages deciphered all known facts....

Red’s logic never seems to wax.

For them, the Prez can do no wrong,

and feel Trump’s reign they must prolong.

{Too bad the fools chose a ding-dong.}

The Laureate-Trump Crows...Our Woes.

Trump Crows...Our Woes

Trump brags about stock market highs,

The Laureate-GOP Sanity

GOP Sanity

Are red pols just obtuse,

or does Trump so deceive,

that the crimes he has spun

seem blue pol make-believe.

To you, are his lies facts?

If so, you bought his con...

voters should send you now

to donkey-world beyond.

The Laureate-Thankgiving

Thanksgiving

For what can I be thankful

when I peruse the news?

Our world is filled with suffering

and terrorism brews.

I’m thankful I’m American,

where freedoms are assured.

I’m thankful for my kith and kin,

whose love o’er time endured.

I’m thankful for my health...

regardless how I ache.

I’m thankful God grants me a wife

who ever will our true-love slake.

The Laureate-Trump's Power

Trump’s Power

Power corrupts...it has been said,

but money was fed where czars had led.

Now billionaires embrace that goal

and seek that force from oil and coal.

Our prez oft aids such who aspire

and cares not for the earth entire.

He only wants to be a czar

and join elite where e’er they are.

{Remember if voters lose control

the Don will have reached his goal.}

Trump Mauls the Law

The Don won’t let his staff

The Laureate-Strand Trump's Band

Strand Trump’s Band

Trump does not fear impeachment.

He is protected by his pawns...

Fed judges and the GOP

and an affluent base that fawns.

He’s like the Don that bought the cops,

then redefines the law.

The only way that our noose drops

is votes must make him fall.

Party Platforms

Both the Red and Blue have platforms

that tend to draw their base’s vote,

but states have pols that bypass norms...

we should no longer on them dote.

Reject bad pols at Primaries...

only vote for whom you trust.

If those who vie give you unease

don’t change hue...voice your disgust.

{...for therein lies the must!}

Trump and Russia

Mueller found that Russia

meddled in the Prez election.

Trump has blamed the Ukraine...

helps Vlad with that selection.

When Trump met with Putin

they acted like good friends

but talks were clandestine

and useful info ends.

Seems much of what Trump does

helps Russia in some way.

But Trump ignores our buzz

and merely acts blasé. 

{Our Don thinks we are asleep,

but anger may soon curse words heap.}

Just like the Don that we well know...

he tells same lies that now fall low.

He tells the world he never said

what biased media now has spread...

the witch hunt has just now begat.

Though many times blared on TV,

now blames it on bad memory.

also forgot all of their cons!}

The Laureate-Witness Testimonies

Witness Testimonies

The witnesses presented facts,

which red pols said were second-hand.

Red pols implied Trump can relax...

they won the day when they’d grandstand.

They mostly blared, “No Quid Pro Quo.”

Trump has the right to hold back arms.

Trump has the right to foe info,

and that should not set Dem alarms. 

{But what, in truth, those red pols say,

“Trump need not rules of law obey!”}
