Ballad of the Suez Canal: Verse Four

Cargo ships are moving

on the Suez Canal.

But, things are getting testy, and

I’m telling you, Pal,

that Someone made a Boo Boo,

and Someone has to Pay.

The Port Authority is clear:

That “Someone” isn’t They.

They’re sending bills …

Yikes!  Yowie!!  Yes, Sirree…

it cost almost a billion bucks

to set that big ship free.

Nine hundred million dollars to

correct that big mistake…

If I had to pay it,

it would make my stomach ache.

So the story isn’t over, and

I’m telling you, Pal,

it costs a lot of money

for the Suez Canal.

Dr. Fauci Would Go to a Baseball Game

I’m wallowing in a Sea of Confusion.

I don’t know what to think.

I don’t know whether to wring my hands

or to feel plain Tickled Pink.

I don’t know whether the Virus Curse

is going from Bad to Even Worse

or if it’s doing as vaccines should

and changing its course from Bad to Good.

No matter what graphs or charts I see

some expert’s been ahead of me.

And the only constant that I see

is that the experts don’t agree.

You can hug your kids.

You can leave the house.

You can pet the cat.

You can kiss your spouse.

But Don’t Do This and Don’t Do That

And Never Let Down your Guard.

Who knew that living with COVID

would turn out to be so hard.

Standing Guard at Buckingham Palace

They’re Standing Guard at Buckingham Palace

to serve and honor their Queen.

Their handsome, deep-red uniforms are as

Spiffy as you’ve ever seen!

The guards are a famous tourist attraction.

They can handle any Crowd Reaction.

(It’s mainly tourists with their camera action).

And the public gets viewing satisfaction.

Their feet must find it terribly hard

to stand all day as the Palace Guard.
