American Plaint

I’m tired of news of COVID.

It’s just all so Yesterday.

I want to go to bars and games….

see my pals and play.

I’m tired of talk of migrants

and mayhem at the border.

I’m tired of shooting violence

with the threat to law and order.

I’m tired of all this climate change…

crazy weather gone astray.

And the bridges, buildings, streets’ collapse –

that plague us ev’ry day.

I’m tired of talk of voter fraud

with corruption far and near.

I want to sit and watch TV

and drink a nice, cold beer.
