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.

 Wherein Lies the Truth?

Prevarication, mendacity, falsehood, untruth, spin, dishonesty, deceit, fraudulent, fallacious, perfidious, and BS all were well established before anyone started talking about alternative reality, alternative facts and post truth.  Blunt language is not telling it like it is when it’s a LIE.

This is the year truth may die

It’s truly the year of the lie.

Lies barefaced, not subtle

Immune to rebuttal

With fact checkers ceasing to try.

Here’s where I stand.

Lying is not my forté

Somehow I give it away

When something’s not true.

So I’ll never lie to you

(As every good liar would say).

Fires and Floods

Here are two sides to the argument about Global Warming, Climate Change, Natural Cycle, Hoax, or End of Days.

The havoc is all aftermath

Of straying too far from God’s path

He’s punishing us

For lasciviousness

The storms are a sign of God’s wrath.

Many have said that Katrina, Hugo, Harvey, Jose and Maria are God’s punishment for the LGBT lifestyles.  Odd, but that sounds to me as though Man’s behavior is the cause of the Fires and Floods.

Burning fossil fuels year after year

Polluted the earth’s atmosphere

The earth warms - we’ll fry it

With our high carbon diet

The science behind it is clear.

The science says it IS Man’s behavior that is the cause of the Fires and Floods.  The solutions are very different, but there is some common ground.
