A One Hundred Day Fund Filled Play-Cation

The Majority Leader, the Speaker and the Prez walk into a deadline.....

A turtle like Senate buffoon,

A gym rat, and a business tycoon,

Can they find a way

To keep critics at bay

And fund the Government soon?

This hundred day benchmark's a farce

Though his record has been off the charts

He has done more

Than any President before

Although the evidence is sparse.

Diversity On Wall Street

He wants his power to be absolute.

Several tons of unbridled masculinity

Meets stylized juvenile femininity 

They stand face to face

She's invaded his space

And he gripes of her threatening proximity.

Notice how the woman gets blamed.

'Charging Bull' was quite happy alone

Tons of bronze testosterone

'Fearless Girl' gets the blame

For a vixen like game

Exploiting him in a scheme of her own.

Wanted; A Bit of Alright

Recent articles in The NY Times cite studies that show the benefits of a positive outlook.

This blog's not a heavy endeavor,
And I know it won't go on forever
Lately at times
I struggle with rhymes
That don't seem amusing or clever.

Research says optimism will give
You a better life and longer to live,
But the world situation
Gives scant inspiration
For thoughts that I call positive.

Representative Democracy

Or should I say democrazy?

He said he would 'drain the swamp' promptly

Because it is fetid and pongy 

He's altered it some

So it has become

More cat boxy than it is swampy.

The cabinet choices say so much.

Wilber Ross and Tillerson; plutocracy

Rick Perry and DeVos; idiocracy

Jeff Sessions and Flynn

Kelly Conway, Mnuchin

Steve Bannon and Trump; hypocracy.
