distorting their facts
is Democrats' fatal end
anti-Trump is all
that their words have to offer
They have no policy thoughts

No policy thought
is given to our futures.
The far left is caught
being a bunch of moochers
and excised without sutures.

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.

take any shoes that you like
as long as they fit
you have a long walk ahead
so best be comfortable

Be comfortable
with yourself in your own skin.
Though you think it’s dull,
don’t look on life with chagrin;
unique is where you’d begin.

out of the new cookie jar
oatmeal chocolate chip
at least there's some nutrition

A guilty conscious
is foreign to O’Bama.
His ilk would launch us
into national trauma.
Shame on him and his mama!

for wearing pink underwear;
made transparent shorts
which he didn't realize
were showing what's underneath

Shown what’s underneath
your crooked quest for power;
you’re a petty thief.
When you and Clintons cower,
watch your ass in the shower!

always turn into the slide

Turning into slide
is serious while skiing.
It can’t be denied
that bouldering and treeing
is harmful to well-being.

Kicking the bucket
will hurt your metatarsals
if your foot struck it
but a big shark with dorsals
thinks toes are merely morsels.

only make shark hungrier;
best high-tail it out
of the water onto sand
and get first aid attention

First aid attention
is something we can all use
but I don’t mention
things that are more than a bruise
or require more than tissues.

Washed head in the creek
upstream from the nude swimmers
who might take a leak.
Watch out if water shimmers
or you need the pool skimmers.

so no one can even tell

No one ever tells
what may happen tomorrow.
The very thought quells
each hope and dream or sorrow
that more time you can’t borrow.

from a certain tomorrow
makes day uncertain
who knows what a day may bring
