IT’S A MAD MAD WORLD 1

I’ve said it before, and I’m sure to feel need to say it, again—
The question is not what’s wrong with our president’s brain
(The answer to that riddle is as clear as clear can be) but rather
What’s wrong with the brains of our legislators, whose
Zombied-like state of mind continues to empower
A mad man to run our nation amuck—stimulating
My processor to ask:  What can we do to change
The sinking nature of our nation’s collective
Spirit for the better before two additional years
Under trump’s boarish lack of skillful leadership sees
The USA slinking ever more deeply into
Political sludge, bringing this frightening reality
To the forefront of my mind: The lengthy nature of
Our nation’s legislative stagnation offers our volatile
Economic situation sound reason to sink ever more
Blindly into quicksand, and—to the grave consternation of
Our collective well being—no rope to pull the mental state
Of our legislators out of denial is seen dangling within
Reach of our grasp—Oy gevalt!

During recent weeks
I’ve felt need to lift my spirit’s jolly
To soar past the blues toward
The heights of ho ho ho
Sooo, these next few posts will
Reflect that which
The positively focused
Side of my processor
Chose to do in order to detour
The retroactive portion of
My brain from
Raining on my holiday parade
Hhmm ...
