An Alternative Nursery Rhyme

Old Trumpty Dumpty demanded a wall,
government shutdowns, when Dems came to call.
His mania caused bear markets to fall.
The generals, chiefs? He fired them all.

With tweets so outrageous, out of control,
his staff was in chaos, fear took its toll.
Scrambling to bolster his fragile ego,
hiding the truth, off to rallies they go.

Those who are woke wonder when it will end,
the self-serving greed of privileged old men,
the lying, colluding, ruthless revenge.
Justice may come with the stroke of a pen!

Counting the Ways

clearing my windshield at dawn
coffee for two, fixing things,
you don’t have to say a word
or three, I hear you

gospel

the gospel
of intuition
assumes a
certainty
that bliss may be found when we
trust our convictions

Fine

Fine

I’m doing just fine
I wake up each day; I’m living, breathing
I’m doing just fine
sometimes I let myself think of the times
we still talked, and I give in to grieving
smile on my face, it’s me I’m deceiving
I’m doing just fine

what need have I for flowers,
fancy gifts or dinners out,
they’re just things, silly, really,
and they are not you
