It came as no surprise to anyone when he entered the arena and found it inhabited by winged predators. It was the new world order’s collection of robotic spyware on display at the convention. There were several makes and models, including a red white and blue emblazoned bald eagle. The man puffed out his chest to make sure his “Trump Wins” t-shirt could be fully seen.
They parade around no masks worn
Holding a religious “exempt” form
They spread disease without a care
Refusing a mask to wear
A dangerous precedent
Following the president’s
Example of idiot ways
Zombies—lemmings on the ledge
Making others fall over the edge.

People you need to wear masks!
Listening to Cole Porter this morning reminded me of how many lyrics and rhythms I miss hearing. He was a genius with words and dancing to his music was always fun. This is “Begin the Beguine” sung by Jo Stafford, a classic in her own right.

Lyrics:
Entering the bar, Jake hummed “Dancing in the Dark”, not the Bruce Springsteen version but the Cole Porter classic. Approaching the dance floor his song became louder. Looking for a dance partner, and finding none, Jake swayed alone, remembering his late wife and their last dance there.
The crowd stopped, the band hesitated and then the older members started playing the song.

Her entrance at the church was awesome
Anxious again to be married
Unfortunately her divorced husband came
And to the exit she was carried.

He thought it would work, his colorful display
Only got him arrested on that sorry day
Trump was jealous. . .as usual.

Cloudy morning, weather watch
Sun late rising, autumn has dropped
A frugal brightness seen today
Hazy fire smoke on display
Soccer fields have a few puddles
The rain is brief causing huddles
Dark hued leaves drip from the shower
While pine cones are worn paths’ bower.

COVID BLUES
It’s small but suits me, the way I am
Sometimes feels like I’m in a jar of jam
No trees, no grass, no lovely view
And I miss my friends like you
When I first lived here thought it was great
Now it’s like living in a crate.
