The Year of the Wandering Hand


Is it really unbridled libido or is it just a naked power grab?  

If you wonder what grabbing her ass meant
If you did not get hands on her assent
There’s no possible way
She’d call it foreplay
But consider it sexual harassment.

Franken and Conyers are under investigation and being pressured to resign.  Bill Cosby denied everything and has gotten off.  Moore and Trump just lie and nobody seems to care enough to investigate, or even vote against them.  It’s that power thing.

Those who admit what they’ve done
Are pressured for their resignation
So please tell me why
Those who deny
Aren’t subject to investigation?

To the Best of My Recollection


… I haven’t published these before.

At the last session Jeff Sessions swore
As he did at each session before
That he’d tell Congress all
That he could recall
And at each session he recalled more.

With a memory like that how did he make it through Law School?  Coincidentally the same Law School attended by another memory challenged politician currently making headlines - Roy Moore.

Sessions recall had several omissions
And was subject to frequent revisions
Is his memory defective
Or just more selective
Than Alabama Law School admissions?

The Cream of the Crap



These limericks I hope make you smile
So I’ve left politics alone for a while
“Cause it hampers my wit
When I’m neck deep in it
And Trump’s at the top of the pile.

He hates the elite’s arrogance
And elevates rank ignorance
He knows what he’s doing
He knows who he’s screwing
By appointing incompetents.

We’re serving a multi-year sentence
Imposed with venom and vengeance
By a corrupt regime
That has as its dream
Aggrandizement at our expense.

Is Collusion the Conclusion?


My blog gets infrequent visits from all over the world; Ukraine, Bangladesh, India, Thailand and Russia.  I now assume they are just trolls on some automated search, but for what?


About once in each month my small blog site
Gets 22 hits in one night
From some Russian source,
So I wonder of course
Why would they read what I write?

We keep hearing more and more that another IRA (Internet Research Agency) is trying to foment turmoil using provocative social media content.  But from my blog?  Give me a break.

These hits aren’t for literary critiquing 
So what is it that they are seeking
My posts at my best
Don’t stir up unrest
And they’re nothing that’s worth Wikileaking.
