NOTE: I worry that my constant posting may be overwhelming thetvolution.com with short post after post after post. So I’ll continue rhyming just as often, but post it all just once a week, on Monday. Happy New Year! (maybe)

Send Elon to Mars, that’s my hope
…a throne for this wanna-be pope!
I frequently wish
he’s a bug we could squish…
and he’d fade like an old kinescope.

Trump’s speeches bounce between bragging of the changes thinks he’ll make and brushing aside the promises he knows he can’t keep.

Trump thinks he’s gonna kill “woke”
and his promises sound like a joke.
It’s MAGA or bust
but remember he’s just
a fat asshole who’s morally broke.

There’s two “Civil Wars” in the news.
This MAGA B.S. makes me snooze.
Supporters are fuming!
…the question that’s looming
is how many voters he screws.

He’s already backing away
from pledges he’d like to un-say.
The latest report
is it all comes up short
when reality gets in the way.

Nightly flights of lights over New Jersey draw ineffective reassurances from authorities, and trash talk from the internet. 

The drones of New Jersey are scary—
who knows what malfeasance they carry?
“We have no idea
but there’s nothing to fear”
…announces the constabulary.

But who buys what government tells you
or B.S. some hinky jerk sells you?
The crap folks are talking
descends into squawking
if paranoid worry propels you.

The web is the real-life offender…
it’s dissing the Garden State’s splendor.
“Let’s trash dumb-ass locals,
compare them to yokels,”
opine all those hearsay pretenders.

The truth can be rumors or guesses;
whatever the internet blesses.
hysteria generates,
influencers venerate
all those imagined excesses.
