The Laureate-Rio Nuevo

Was tax monies wisely spent?

If so, please show us where it went.

What can we see, or touch...or use?

Seems all you build is discontent.

The Laureate-Publishers

Most who write their poems or prose

will rarely dine on escargots.

It’s publishers and media

that grant who bodes all wealth, kudos.

The Laureate-Compliments

One should accept a compliment...

even if thought insincere.

No need to delve on the intent...

most smooth-talk rarely will adhere.

The Laureate-Deflate-gate

Obey the pledge that you once swore,

for it’s a game, and not foul war.

Find your edge with honor bound...

or prize belongs in cuspidor.

The Laureate-MLK Digested

(Worth saying again.)

But fools would judge on the hue of skin,

in lieu of what's contained within.

If souls were bared to common view,

how few would bid you 'Enter In'.

by: James E. Cox, 1957

The Laureate-Bulls and Bears

Stay in the Market sages say,

even though your hair turns gray.

But Markets fall when countless sell...

are they the sages and you but prey?

The Laureate-Lobbyists

Pols:

Those that have an axe to grind

should not advise you where to find

the answers for our country’s ills.

They back their masters...not mankind.
