The Con 

Though just outside the law the law they stray,

the con men more than fleece their prey.

For when the leach upon man sups

good will and trust they often slay. 

From the book, Rubai by James E. Cox

Senryu-Vows to God 

Vows, when made to God,

though said by an atheist,

his words shan’t be flawed.

Moscow Mitch, The Grim Reaper

Moscow Mitch McConnell

disparages our Republic...

he likes to hear his favored knell

when bills are blocked, his preferred trick.

 

Mitch worked for the crooked Nixon

and probably learned how to cheat.

And then he met The Don

and his corruption was complete.

 

He worked to get his wife a post...

found Russian money for his state.

He hated Democrats the most

and signs no bills until too late.

{To Trump, Mitch proved his loyalty...

but never would aid our country.}

The Jan 6th Trump Fix 

When reading what Trump tells the world

about his Jan 6th uprising,

his lies have but to all unfurled

nothing we would call surprising.

The Don implies it was a lark...

much like a stroll within a park.

Of deaths, he lost a heroine...

                                                  the rest of them he tends to shun.

{What would you expect from a liar,

the truth to Trump is but a blur}

Trump Pulpit Unlit

Some Red pols morphed into bullies

and think they are king of the hill.

Others shake like there’s a quake

if they are asked to use freewill.

The first group has kissed The Don’s ring,

and for him they’ll do anything.

The others live in constant fear...

Trump’s anger will end their career.

They all must know The Don has failed

and very close to being jailed.

Trump has lost his bully pulpit

they all can tell The Don to stuff it.

Pen The Perps

When the perps try to make you buy

a story that is just a lie...

When perps steal your name

and all your assets claim...

When perps kill because they’re mad...

and become latest fad.

When any pols, to win the vote,

pass dreadful laws of note...

‘Tis time to put the perps in jail

and let our laws prevail.

There’s No Replay

Behold the sky as clouds display

the entrails of a dying day.

The aura flow from rose to gray

augurs to all “There’s No Replay!”
