Getting an important prediction right
By someone who early saw the light
In 1965 he gave us the tip.
All those transistors on a single chip.

Heads down....thumbs up?
Can we please make some room
For other than doom and gloom?
As the pessimism mushrooms
Pray that a glint of hope blooms.

Dandy Lions
Nobody's cryin'
For dandy lions.
They come and they go
Putting on a show.
There's no stopping them.
There's just more mayhem.
All over the park
Their effect is stark.
For then they do fawn
An imperfect lawn.
What will neighbors think?
Will home values sink?
Though it's rather crass
I prefer crabgrass.
If you must have weeds.
That will fill your needs.

Rubbing me the wrong way
Worse then dimples
Are new pimples.
They're rather sly
One's on the thigh.
I now regret
After I sweat
Taking an hour
Before the shower.

For Whom The Polls Toll
The move to the left
Leaves Labour bereft
While Cameron's Tories
Tell troublesome stories.

The Addiction of Being a Candidate
Running for the Presidency must be a rush
With all the shaking of hands among the throngs crush.
Reading your name in the paper or watching yourself on TV
Enough of an ego reward that you care not about victory.

Report on Micro Agressions
Spending the entire day in a stew
About racism on campus, what to do?
Really it has been more of a fog
Like the aftermath from too much grog.
Most kids do want to get along
At least, that's always been my song.
Though I also should be forthright and confess.
The White Conservative cultures causes me distress.

All Thumbs
Composing a rhyme on your phone
Is something to postpone.
Though to be fair
When you do err
For that sin you need not atone.

UK Elections
The Brits
In fits
The electorate split
EU ties unknit.
As capitalism benefits only the few
What else is there actually to do?
Arguing that markets should be free
Will get a pol pilloried.

Glued to the Tube for the National Pastime
Sunday night baseball on ESPN
The Yankees and Red Sox at it again.
Barring a rainout I will be watching
Hoping the Yankees another win notching.

Who comes up with thes?
Citation and Man o' War
Those were names you could adore.
Look at the ones in the Derby now.
Remember these names? I wonder how.

Mainly like our parents
When the income distribution is sticky
The social implications are icky.
It's not a question of merit.
Rather it's what you inherit.
Thinking that the reverse is true
Most people see no need to undo
A system that is inherently unfair
Their beliefs are why they do not care.

Paying Attention
Going to a wokrshop
First time this semester
Attention please be nonstop
Though it's time for my siesta.

Admitting Error
Saying that you're wrong
In prose, not in sing-song
Is very difficult to do
Which is why it we eschew.
