Barack in Wonderland

Berry and Ben

There's a nuke conference next week
but Netanyahu won't come and sit
completely understandable since
Obama treated him like shit!

Obama -- what a maroon!
Thinks that kow-towing to terrorists
Will save our sorry asses
from the wrath of religious misfits.

Sure hope there's a plan B
and Obama's not dumb as he acts
he needs an advisor who's not afraid
to feed him some hard facts.

Life's Lessons: Pragmatism

success

Haiku (non-traditional)

focus on a goal
consider reality
success will be yours

-----------------------------

Pragmatism
How easily lost
in seething ambition
and burning desire

A confluence
of goal and reality
is the water needed
to douse that fire

To The Victor . . .

shred Constitution

savor your victory
it is the sweet dessert
at the end of a long meal
digest it well
so later
when you recall the taste
you remember
the costs of that victory

trust abused
friendships misused
your reputation bruised

be thankful
you
your family
your circle of friends
will, for now,
remain untouched
by what your victory
will bring to the rest of us

Pretenders to the Throne

King Obama

The radical Left,
pretentious saviors of the poor
now control healthcare
so expect the IRS at your door

Got health insurance?
they don't care
you'll have it soon
you don't have a prayer

If you try avoidance
you'll soon have an audience
with a Federal judge
demanding your assistance

But no need to be stressed
help is on the way
eleven Attorneys General
just may save the day

"Our pretend government
can't do this" they say
"it's unconstitutional
NOT the American way"

those on the Left scoff:
"what is this Constitution thing
people better start to realize
it's Obama who is King!"

and so it goes
as it always has:

the extreme Left takes your soul
the extreme Right prays for your soul
but it's those who avoid extremes
who rely on the Constitution, not dreams
who will return what's yours to you
in . . .

. . . The End

Shame On Us

The Liars Club

Can you feel the shame
same as I do?

Senators and Congressmen selling their votes
Lies and tricks to get things done
what's this country coming to

Apologizing for being the best
Borrowing money 'till we're overdrawn
Spending it like there's no tomorrow
where the hell's our country gone

Turning our backs on allies
Giving our rights to the terrorists
prosecuting soldiers for doing their jobs
America used to be the best

Hope is dead while the change goes on
placing shame on all our backs
we who voted these people in
we who tolerate intolerable acts

He promised to "Remake America"
it's a work in progress
that must be stopped!

10 Questions -- 10 Minutes

Big Government

Census Forms are here again
but think before you leap
now we're governed from the Left
can we trust Congress, the Prez or Veep
with info about home, life and more
You have to wonder
what they want it for

It wasn't a problem in the past
with a government you could trust
back before we changed direction
when Government FOR THE PEOPLE was the thrust,
Now with Government for Government's sake
and the People be damned . . .
You have to wonder
what they have planned

"we cant move forward till you mail it back"
that's their latest plea
but where is "forward" from the Left
that's not hard to forsee
if that's a place you want to rush
you're throwing yourself under the bus

And you just HAVE to wonder
what's next

The Fickle Finger of Fate

ALT TITLE

How easily nature
turns a dark day to light
then back again

How amazingly luck
makes the future seem bright
then dim again

How quickly fate
sets wrong things right
then wrong again

How fickle the finger of fate
as it wiggles under our nose
as it chases us through life
and catches us in final repose
