Twenty years in Afghanistan.
The last plane flew away.
Twenty years in Afghanistan.
A sad and somber day.
Twenty years in Afghanistan.
The country’s not at peace.
Twenty years in Afghanistan.
The killing doesn’t cease.
Today’s News
It’s a sad and sober world today.
There’s not much cause for laughter.
It’s hard to read the news
and think of “happy ever after.”
COVID Deaths
Yesterday, two thousand died.
Overall: six-thirty-five K.
The anti-vaxxers give a shrug
and look the other way.
Seattle Middle School Shooting
Kids get up in the morning
and head for the killing ground.
When they near the playground…
…just pop in another round.
The Candle
The candle burns.
Its light is steady.
The path shows clear and true.
The candle’s light
is always ready
to mark the path for you.
Spiders in the Bathtub
I don’t need Farmer’s Alamac
to note when Summer’s gone.
Spiders in the bathtub?
It’s my sign that time’s moved on.
COVID Roulette
One of the things about COVID Roulette
is that I don’t want to play.
The actions of those who are
willing to play impact me ev’ry day.
Spider in the Bathtub
There’s a spider in the bathtub.
That’s a certain sign of Fall.
You know that summer’s over
when the spiders come to call.
Soft Rain
We got a little bit of rain.
So light, it was hard to tell.
My garden welcomed ev’ry drop—
soaked ev’ry bit that fell.
“Talk to Your Doctor about…..”
We hope you’ll find
this Ad compelling.
We hope you’ll want
this drug we’re selling.
Don ‘t worry that Death’s a side effect….
not too many died when last we checked.
We hope you’ll act on this sales pitch.
If enough folks do, it’ll make us rich.
