Gay Marriage
The Prez sez let the Gays be wed…
that’s not a direct quote.
He seems care not who shares a bed…
if they give him their vote.

In The News-Underwear Bombs
Airport Security
Security said take off my shoes,
they checked for no holes in my socks.
Now with the underwear news,
I must prove shorts make no tick-tocks

In The News-To The Media
To the media
If you would serve all those who vote,
don’t just print contender’s words.
Present to us that which they tote...
voting and attendance records.

In The News-Cinco De Mayo
Cinco De Mayo
(Mexico)
“Cinco de Mayo!” you
shout with glee.
You say this day you
were set free.
Set free...to what...for
thousands flee
...you never slew your
enemy.
Some salved their pain
but hurt lives on.
And though you shout the
foe is wan,
he lives and he will
never die
until your Nation’s ills
are gone.
You would not need to
move your bed
to other lands that you
be fed,
if you’d stand tall and
claim the spoils
brave others won through
blood once shed.
Your land can feed your
ev’ry need
if others dare not sate
their greed.
So solve your problem
there, your home,
...for only then will all
be freed.

In The News-Political Candidates
Political
Candidates
When each declares
the other lies,
and both of them
are right.
You’ll probably
find they’re party bound,
and but mere party
acolyte.

In The News-May Day
Free Speech
Some lay on tracks or
hug a tree...
they march for “cause
celebrity.”
They merely want to
strut some stage
and boast their name
shares the marquee.
But, we must vow defend "free speech"...
pledge time and ear be
granted each.
Yet, know our chore is to
deduce
if good or
ill does prod or preach.
It’s sad a cause on
May Day
too often leads to
melee.

In The News-Afghanistan etal
Afghanistan etal
Why do we endorse a war
where foe or friend are hard to bare…
where leaders and civilians
say go, but leave our money there?
How many more brave soldiers
must die on foreign soil,
when those who pledge to kill us,
when hurt, merely recoil?
It’s our land that we must defend,
so here, let’s make our stand.
Malevolence pervades this world…
secure our borderland.
