Who You Gonna Believe?

Alright it was Finland not Denmark, but doesn't this sound familiar?

Would it or wouldn't it be

Is this week's controversy

Whether it's best

To reality test

Or live in your own fantasy?

The bald guy was smiling, but the big guy with the hair looked glum.

The flames that pass for his hair

Suck the oxygen out of the air

So none can remain

To operate his brain,

Assuming he's got one in there.

The Theater of the Absurd

It’s on.  Kim and Trump meet in a Ego Stroke of Diplomacy.  But before that it was off, but through Trump’s mythical skill as a negotiator, it’s on again.  I knew I’d seen a similar act before.

Remember the singer James Brown

From exhaustion he’d collapse on the ground

Fans feared for the worst

But with a high energy burst

He’d continue and bring the house down.

And before the worst hair day ever, Trump showed his strength by running away from the G7 meeting.  Securely ensconced in Air Force 1, surrounded by intimidated sycophants, he disavowed his agreement with the meeting results.  Safe from the real world of international relations and intelligent reasonable leaders, he resumed his lying, insulting and bullying.  

How does this make America Greater?

The Self Proclaimed Master Deal Maker

Agrees with the way

They draft the communique

Then reneges just a few hours later.

The Continuing #SAGA

It’s a case of too much evidence.

Trump bitches some more every day

Giuliani has joined the affray

But Counsel Bob Mueller

Thank God has stayed cooler -

A Bob Cat just stalking his prey.

I’m waiting for Mueller to strike

Since we know what Donald is like -

All bile and attack -

For that lying sack

A perp walk is too short a hike. 

A Penny for My Thoughts?

Highly overpriced.

My brain cells may not follow the norm

When they’re active and gather a quorum

Thoughts may find their ways

Through the cerebral maze

Their various blunders to perform.

Expectations are often harsh critics.  How much Practice does it take to make Perfect?  I certainly don’t know.

Practice is an unpleasant chore

My mistakes are too hard to ignore

I don’t like what I hear

But they won’t disappear

Unless I endure them some more.
