The Poet-Obamacare (redux)

Obamacare (redux)

O’er forty percent are on the dole,

which means they have but little dough...

which means someone must pay their way...

which means the middle class, you know.

My provider sent its plans

to meet Obamacare.

I’ve used this business sixteen years

and always found it fair.

But now its prices double...

that you may give my half away

The middle class has trouble...

when we can’t trust a word you say.

The Poet-November

November

Be thankful for November,

a month filled for reflection.

It barely starts, and we must pick

our choices for election.

Soon we pause to recognize

the vets who served to keep us free...

and those who died on foreign soils

deserve acclaim eternally.

He who guides us on our path

is honored on Thanksgiving Day.

Our Mores and more were sent by Him

and from His side we must not stray.

The Poet-Halloween

Halloween

It is that time, All Hallows Eve…

when minds run free to make believe.

But pause, that mask you choose to wear

may hide, or bare, what you’d achieve.

The Poet-The Boomerang Cold?

The Boomerang Cold?

The coldest in the universe...

the boffins bode is Boomerang...

a nebula quite far away

where temps will freeze both Yin and Yang  

But I would say ‘twas felt one day

when I had asked a girl to dance.

Her response was, “go away”...

there’s nothing colder than her glance.

The Poet-Modus Vivendi (Way of Life)

Modus Vivendi (Way of Life) 

The Red and Blue seem satisfied

the closed door is ajar.

They hope we think we’re past the brink

and they have left no scar.

The only thing they’ve done for us,

their modus operandi,

is wait once more to near that door...

for their modus vivendi.

The Poet-Congress Needs Less Lawyers

Congress Needs Less Lawyers.

Congress needs less lawyers...

it needs more CFOs.

A lawyer’s trait is prate debate...

and, as they do, our debt still grows.

Our Prez, who guides our Nation,

deems raising ceilings of the debt

is how you balance budgets...

or, as close as you need get.

Tell that to a CFO,

he’ll state, in time, there’s no more dough.

The Poet-The Color of States

The Color of States

Democrats were Blue.

Republicans were Red...

until Tea Party idiots      

climbed into their bed.

Now Democrats are gray,

because they have no say.

The Prez says what they think,

and makes them vote in sync.

The GOP may color lack...

it’s tainted by a Tea that’s black.
