By now, we've said:

             FAREWELL & BYE-BYE

                         TO THE 8TH MONTH 


                           
   Don't tell me it's over,

Thick dew clutches clover;

      Cicadas still spook passersby...     



Pale oceans spill over

 Those white cliffs of Dover;

Bright monarchs

Fling mist toward

The sky...

Smoke-stacks

Toss ashes about

The limed grasses;

Gray pigeons in eaves launch this coo:

 Adieu, sweetest August !

You're one in a million !

  Oh my, how we EVER loved you !!

  Come again soon !!!

Channeling Lewis Carroll, (perhaps ??)

                                                                                 


SING A SONG OF SILLY

  A pocket full of wry...

               -written by L.P.-G.






Wasps cannot

Craft noble jelly;

Pigs never graze

 Temperate skies...


Neither have I

Seen a cow

Shoot the moon,

But nursery rhymes

Still warm

  My eyes...

The butcher

(With baker),

And candlestick maker,

Had set out to prove

Tubs were sound:

Their luck faltered early,

They entered gates,'pearly';

'Tis rather a pity

They drowned!



Those three

Little kitties

Toured multiple cities

Before gulping down

Minced-mouse pie;

Three piglets, quite plump,

Gave 'wolfie' the dump;

 That bad boy waved houses

BYE-BYE



And gander (with gosling)

Enjoyed a good Riesling:

One that's

  Remarkably dry...

Yet, cats

Cannot strum

On a fiddle;

And Humpty's great

Fall was a bore;

The dish and the spoon

Staged their shoot-out

At noon;

(But)

Mother Goose is the

Gal we adore !!

HOW DO YOU NOT GET THAT

                                                       He's Play-acting ??

 



Loutish, arrogant, revengeful  leadership can demoralize a country and should not be allowed to happen... Moreover, individuals who possess those characteristics should never, ever occupy the White House. Their erratic, vindictive, rancorous spirit acts to deplete the positive energy of those around them and the consequential 'spiritual exhaustion' that ensues affects multitudes in a very negative way. Manipulative leaders "play-act"; they are not authentic by any standard and frequently use religion as a pretext. 

        Please do not elect them to office!

AN EXCEPTIONAL SOCIOPATHIC DELIGHT!

                                                                  



Dance of the Damned


It's much like

A two-step;

[ This fact is

   quite plain ]...


For it seeks

Willing partners;

Thus, let me

 EXPLAIN ...

Not 'much'

Would be added

To one's

Private gain,

If doing a salsa

Sans two

  Shifty brains...


Slick actors

Needs 'members',

Especially those

'CUNNING';

Their plan

To deceive

Is remarkably

  STUNNING...


**[CASE  IN  POINT]**


Soon after

His 'grandeur'

Was fading to dusk;

Trump placed a

Brief call to

This cad, Elon Musk.

 

The latter

Cares nothing

For others (it's simple!);

He and D. Trump are

   The ass and its pimple...



Together they sway

To the beat of

Dark lucre;

Building their riches

  Brings bliss and vast succor.



Beware, should they ask,

"Will you join us in dance ?"

Sadly, such madness

Has ensnared

J. D. Vance !!!

LET MY WORDS BECOME A WORTHY 'QUOTE'

                                                                 


Should crowds

GATHER

'In delusion',

Their numbers

    Don't count ...

No matter

What statements,

Or lies,

One doth mount...

WHEN SOMEONE SHOWS YOU WHO THEY REALLY ARE,

 

TAKE THEM AT THEIR WORD!!!


 

Trump had a huge

Senile moment:

TODAY,

 At the NABJ...

His words were offensive;

His hands flailed away*;

He's an asshole:

What more can we say?

*Why the constant accordion hands?

[I'm] Channeling R. L. Stevenson today

 

THAT MAN IS A SUCCESS

by Robert Louis Stevenson


That man is a success who has lived well,

 Laughed often, and loved much;

Who has gained the respect of intelligent men

And the love of children;

Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;

Who leaves the world better than he found it,

Whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem,

Or rescued soul;

Who has never lacked appreciation

Of Earth’s beauty or failed to express it;

Who looked for the best in others,

   And gave the best he had...

R.I.P. [Dad]  5-1-1929 __ 7-24-2009

WHETHER J.R.B. STEPS ASIDE, or does not...

                                                         

Stuttering and stammering

Are NOT worse than Trump-lies;

Discharged by the millions,

From the T.V. to OUR eyes!!


Trump's frank sociopathy

Was well on display:

But NOT just last-night;

No! Each and every day!

The falsehoods

He spews

Fool gullible people;

[ Including those souls

Seeking 'grace'

Neath some steeple]

Perhaps the ignorant masses should carefully read the following [that is, IF they even read]: Donald Trump has re-branded himself as an elderly Bible-book salesman. Trump is running for president as a divinely chosen champion of White Christians, promising to sanctify their grievances, destroy their perceived enemies, bolster their social status, and grant them the power to impose an anti-feminist, anti-LGBTQ, highly militant, White-centric Christian nationalism. The fact that Trump doesn’t attend church and has obviously never read the book that he hawks for $59.99, seems of little interest to his followers, only to his more educated political opponents.

Can you spell "DIRGE", anyone?

                    *CON ARTIST ELEGY*

                       














So typically

'CHARMING'

[Which is]

All the more

ALARMING!


Yet, what does

A con-artist

Look like??

Some may look

WEIRD,

And thus grow

A beard;

Others just stay

  As a creep...

[Please, remember this]:


He can alter

His 'spots'

Without making a peep;

Adapting, quite flawlessly,

While the innocent

SLEEP !



There's also 'this' on X:

 James M. Thomas (JT) @Insurgent_Prof

Vance grew up in a 4 bedroom suburban home in Ohio, in a family that earned a little over $175k/year in today's dollars and paid for his golf lessons. 

My note: Is he a grifter like the Trump family ???

Oh, Oh, Oh! IT'S MAGIC ?

                                                                       


"MAGICAL THINKING"

[A potent pastime for many]

Just toss them an amulet;

 Or, pitch them a penny...

A 'most lucky one'

(Pretty please);

Yet, here lies the query:

Are some things

NOT coincidence?

   But of 'THIS' I stay leery !!

 


"Magical thinking ithe belief that unrelated events

are causally connected, often due to supernatural forces" ...

*************************


Regrettably, one principal truism definitely bears emphasizing in light of recent events, as well: Those who were bullied may, in the future, single out an individual they perceive as exhibiting  pugilistic traits they would like to see annihilated.  Hence, do you risk allowing a gun to be placed in the hands of the one who suffered severe bullying? Amnesia regarding  the past behavior of flagrant bullies is not helpful either. When one [i.e., the bully] is "hung by his own petard" through some boomerang effect of aggression, who is to blame? 

Please think about this...



Bottom line: Bullying damages the brain
