POEMS for 2010
When worries beset me, extracting a toll, I press pen to paper, and spill out my soul.

Poems Shirley Sherrod
Posted here for 7-26-10.

At first it was said she must go.
But then, moments later: Oh, no!
- - - She would be rehired;
- - - Should not have been fired.
Incompetence maybe? Hello!





Poems Vacation Was Great!
Posted here for 7-12-10.

I'm back from vacation -- 'tis true,
From beaches of sand, skies of blue,
- - - To face consternation
- - - With Obamanation,
And worry, and dread all anew!





Poems What's to Become of Us?
Posted here for 6-21-10.

I worry about our great nation.
I worry about subjugation.
- - - Our freedoms are fading.
- - - Our money they're raiding.
I think that I need a vacation!

(I'll be on vacation until July 11th.)






Poems Hope and Change
Posted here for 6-7-10.

Once, "Change" was a wish and the prayer
Obama would often declare.
- - - But to our dismay
- - - "Change" leads us astray,
And "Hope" has now turned to despair.





Poems Total Overthrow
Posted here for 5-24-10.

Could one man dismantle our country,
Transform it throughout -- A to Z,
- - - Take freedoms away,
- - - Spread debt and decay?
Could one man do that? Well, we'll see.





Poems The U.S. Economy
Posted here for 5-10-10.

Obama says everything's fine.
We're no longer in a decline.
- - - I think he's dead wrong:
- - - We're limping along.
Recovery is here? Asinine!





Poems I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud (with apologies to William Wordsworth)
Posted here for 4-26-10.

I wandered lonely as a cloud. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Obama's minions dance, but they
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,. . . . . . . . . Should moderate their waves of glee:
When all at once I saw a crowd,. . . . . . . . . . . . . Tea-party goers will not stray
A host of gory Congress bills.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . From vanquishing each bold decree.
Continuous as stars that shine. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Now oft, when on my couch I lie
and twinkle on the Milky Way,. . . . . . . . . . . . . . In vacant or in pensive mood,
They stretched in never-ending line. . . . . . . . . . . I wonder how we went awry
To signal socialistic sway.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . And put in office such a dude.





Poems Things I Think I'll Never See (with apologies to Joyce Kilmer)
Posted here for 4-12-10.

I think that I shall never see . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Obama stop his spending spree,
Or politician -- honest, brave, . . . . . . . . . . . . Or push for legislation which
Who's not corrupt, and will behave . . . . . . . . Will harm the middle class and rich,
With honor, honesty; indeed, . . . . . . . . . . . .. Or advocate to take away
Someone deprived of ego, greed, . . . . . . . . . Our freedoms nearly every day.
A statesman with a passion strong . . . . . . . . . I wish that I would never see
To legislate and do no wrong. . . . . . . . . . . . . So dangerous a man as he.





Poems Obama's Fundamental Change
Posted here for 3-29-10.

The change, "fundamental," he said,
Is change, "fundamental," to dread!
- - - This country, once great,
- - - Now stares at a fate
Where all we hold dear will be dead.





Poems Politicians and Your Money
Posted here for 3-22-10.

The government spends every day,
In an irresponsible way,
- - - Vast, mountainous sums
- - - (Those dastardly bums),
Our grandkids will have to repay.





Poems So Much for a Democratic Republic
Posted here for 3-15-10.

Indeed, we should be represented
In all legislation presented.

- - - Now running the land,
We clearly are greatly resented.





Poems Health Care

With laws neatly hidden by stealth,
It surely will deplete our wealth.
- - - The folks understand
- - - The bill's badly planned.
Moreover, it's bad for our health!





Poems Global Warming
Posted here for 2-22-10.

It's been but a hoax and a lie,
Pulled off by a liberal guy,
- - - Whose primary aim
- - - Was riches and fame
And power. Al is quite a guy!





Poems U.S. Economic Policy
Posted here for 2-15-10.

To borrow, and borrow, and borrow
Each day and for each new tomorrow,
- - - Will bring our demise --
- - - That is no surprise --
And with it much hardship and sorrow.





Poems Barack Obama: Bla, Bla, Bla!
Posted here for 2-1-10.

He preaches and prattles all day.
With teleprompters he holds sway.
- - - Each promise he makes
- - - He soon after breaks.
So why hear what he has to say?





Poems Implications of the Election of Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown
Posted here for 1-25-10.

The voters have simply said, "Whoa!"
The spending in DC must slow.
- - - They want Cap/Trade dead,
- - - No socialized med.
Will Obama listen? Hell no!





Poems Global Warming
Posted here for 1-18-10.

It now has been proven a hoax,
Thought up by some scurrilous folks.
- - - So stop the charade --
- - - Don't pass "cap and trade."
We've had quite enough of your "jokes."





Poems Obama Demands Justice for Some Terrorists
Posted here for 1-11-10.

The Gitmo jailees he bemoans
In indignant, so-rightous tones.

Except those he kills with our drones.





Poems New Year's Resolutions
Posted here for 1-4-10.

I won't get mad with the health bill,
Or Cap and Trade passed on the hill,
- - - Or government's size,
- - - Or Obama's lies.
Well, honestly: of course I will!
