Voter Control

I Wonder Why I Voted?

Two Kennedy’s and Lincoln
Were all, shot fatally dead
Edwards and Spitzer were
Quickly removed, from our head

By embarrassing publicity
That has happened, just by chance
For not thinking, with their heads
But following an urge, in their pants

Were they set up
For a political cause
Or were they just victims
Of their own applause

Their messages were alarming
To the status quo
Was that a reason
Of why, they had to go

Were all the bankers
And those big CO’s
Extremely worried
Of what might be exposed?

The Nasty Weed

The city council has decided
That they must interced
To stop the dispensing
Of this dangerous, illegal weed

For a city license
The clinic did apply
Which the council
Did quickly deny

Followed by on order
Of "Cease & Desists'"
For a permit
That didn't exsist

And why was that
You might want to question
Your local politics
Would be my suggestion

We all know how
Sometimes it's hard
To express your compassion
When it's in, your back yard!

A Well Deserved Discount

While working at the Garlic Fest
Which I did just last year
I was selling tickets
And checking ID’s for beer

At the ticket booth
There was a recurring question
Of which I’ll share with you
And propose my own suggestion

I was asked by many families
Of those who proudly serve
In our various Armed Forces
For something, they truly deserve

A family discount was what
They asked for my reply
And I felt so deeply sorry
When their request, we then did deny

For those in the service
Who are risking life and limb
It seemed so very wrong
To be denying, all of them

So maybe in the future
We must change the fee
For our valiant heroes
Who are protecting you and me

I don’t know who to ask
At the “Garlic Festival Association”
To take, on this noble task
To show, our true appreciation

But I’m sure, they’ll figure it out
By the end of next July
When this question is asked
A new price, will surely apply

Movie Review

Movie Review

My wife and I just went to see
The show “This Is It”
A new documentary
The Micheal Jackson flick

You will love this movie
If you’re a Micheal Jackson fan
Or if you happen to be
A VERY Gay Man

The dancing is fabulous
The dancer’s are delicious
But the music
Is a little too repetitious

On a scale of 1 to 10
A 5 would be my choice
But I’m not that crazy
About Micheal’s voice

What impressed me the most
Was all the preparation
To arrive at the final
Full concert presentation

Conservatives?

Conservatives?

Would someone please?
Give me an explanation
Why the “Conservatives”
Are all so opposed to conservation

Doesn’t their name
Seem somehow to apply
To try conserving
Or at least, give it a try

Conserving our natural resources
That are now, in short supply
But when we say, there’s a problem
All they do, is strongly deny

They are said to be on the “Right”
This loud and vocal throng
But from where I stand
They usually seem, to be in the “Wrong”

So it’s only likely
Neither of us will ever change
But if they won’t conserve
Then pick a different name

Shopping

Shopping

My wife takes me to Costco
On her shopping days
I go, somewhat to look
But mostly, just to graze

They have those little samples
Which are tasty and quite fun
But you’d better, be real quick
If you hope, to get one

For all the people gather
And they are extremely rude
When they’re all competing
For some easy, free food

But I just follow the wife
And lean on the shopping cart
Which is the same thing I do
When we go to, Wal-Mart

She sometimes has me help her
And gives me a little chore
Like going around and fetching
Something in the back of the store

Years ago when I was working
I never envisioned my retired life
Was spending all my days
Going shopping, with my wife

What's On TV

What's On TV

Obama’s on Letterman
McCain is on C-Span
Dick Cheney’s on “Fox News”
Trying to spin his evil plan

Do we have to listen?
To the former 2nd in command
He’s always spewing lies
This evil little man

On the inauguration day
We all saw him there
This evil little man
In his rolling chair

He is always frowning
And his only source of fun
Is going hunting with his fiends
But Watch Out for His Gun

We have all those pundits
All over the electronic tube
Are they really experts?
Or just a bunch of boobs

They say they have the answers
To the problems of our land
But are they just blowing smoke
Pretending we don’t understand
