Keeping track of the queers? I don’t try!
Didn’t Even Investigate why
they were once known as Gay.
That was back in the day
long before the far-left’s pious cry.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.

They are crying for left-over pie
as they walk through the streets far and nigh
but the bakers can't hear
any voice that's not near
so the far-away people can't buy

When the far-away folks who can’t buy
things the U.S. A. makes, tell them why.
It’s your tariffs; they stink
and you drove us to drink
but old Uncle Sam’s teats have run dry.

If your Auntie Sam's teats have run dry
find a surrogate cow pastured nigh
so her baby can drink
while she's dressed in cute pink
and there'll not be a cloud in the sky

If there’s never a cloud in the sky
will the rivers to lakes all run dry
or will folks with big brains
bring back showers and rains
with strange chemicals they will apply.

If with comical words you reply
who'll take serious things that you sigh?
So be serious some,
though you needn't be glum
Then the things that you share, who'll decry?
