Ode to 2020

If you’re sensitive about politics,Don’t read this; it will probably make you sick.That’s my warning about this diatribe in verse,I don’t want you to feel any worse. Almost half of the U.S. leans towards the right,The rest veers left, most … Continue reading

Fat Cats and Politicians

Week twenty-five of the pandemic is upon us. That’s roughly over six months with no clear end in sight. Can’t believe we’ve gone this far so fast; or should that be fastly? The latter’s an actual adverb. So is bigly, … Continue reading

La Plume De Ma Tante

Guess I didn’t learn my lesson from last week’s entry, so here I am again, pen in hand; no, not literally with la plume de ma tante—that’s French for “my aunt’s pen”—but tapping away on a keyboard. One of my … Continue reading

Ode to Whatever
