№ 442: The Problem

With all our differences
our difference IS
NOT in skin tone embedded —
it's not geographic or ethnic.
It is not religious — and this is critical 
despite what you think, it isn't political. 
It's not genetic and it isn't sexual.
(And it's for dead certain, it ain't intellectual.)
It's not favorite comics or economics,
it isn't the language we speak,
the songs we sing,
the flag we salute,
our favorite pursuit, 
if we pollute,
who's more hirsute.
None of these is really to blame.
Withal these differences,
we're all the same.

We can't get along
because I'm-right-you're-wrong
is always the name of the game.
THAT is THE problem!
(It's a GDF! shame.)

All the way back
to Pandora's jar,
our problem, as always,
is, sadly, WE ARE.

№ 441.1: EXTRA! I Need A Favor (another one)

My Dearest Vlad,

It makes me SAD
but sadly I can't interfere.
My pals the Saudi's
botched making
some guy disappear.

Perhaps, you could whisper
a word in their ear?

Please, do it for me.
Your friend,
DJT

№ 441: The Natural Odor

If there's a truth which always prevails,
it is this: alpha males cheat.
Mafia bosses, presidents, Princes of Wales
are alpha males. And they cheat.
You men who tell me, “You're off the rails!
I'm not like that. Your thumb's on the scales.”
Whether in rags or top hat and tails,
YOU are, decidedly, NOT alpha males.

№ 440: I Like Beer!

(with apologies to Cole Porter.)

I like beer!
Believe me I am honestly sincere!
As a boy I did enjoy my daily dose of lager.
I downed whole kegs and drained the dregs till I was in a fog or
passed out on the floor atop a fifteen-year-old jogger.        
Oh I like beer!
Among the brews I cannot choose a single one I favor.
After three or four (or more) the world begins to waver.
And come the dawn, the early morn I taste this sickish flavor.
But I like beer!

№ 439: The Constitution, Unmaking Amends

Democrats failed our Brett K. to derail
so he's safe to cavort on the Kangaroo Court
where he'll curtail Liberal distortion
by ending forever the wrong of abortion.
Once we dispatch that legal miscarriage,
we stick to our guns and “Bye-bye, gay marriage!”
Then we'll reveal our Scalia intendments:
our zeal to repeal inconvenient amendments.

— Wikipedia
Thirteen through fifteen?
Gone, in a flash.
Seventeen? Nineteen?
Succumb to backlash.
As for twenty-four?
Stomped on the floor,
kicked out the door
forever more
with all it stands for.

Benjamin Franklin is said to have said,
A republic. . .if it'll keep.
“OF”, “FOR” and/or “BY  THE PEOPLE”?!
Get those unsown, then we really reap!

We're true Libertarians and Fundamentalists,
GOP buddies — and friends with benefits.

№ 438.1: EXTRA! Donald Says ‘Sorry’

WaPo: Trump apologizes to Kavanaugh for ‘terrible pain and suffering’
At a swearing in ceremony hosted by the White House Oct. 8, President Trump began by apologizing to Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.


Oh, pity the hardship, bewail the travail
that is the lot of a superior male, 
who whether white, yellow or black 
finds himself constantly under attack
by packs of deranged hormonal witches
who really need swift kicks in their britches.
