Poem 291: Various Thoughts

I’ve been slacking off, what else can I say?

I decided to finally write a poem today

It’s been more than a month since I put one out

There’s been so much happening, I don’t know what to write about

Some may have noticed my absence and were not aware

Others might have missed them or just don’t care

I’ve been spending time with my family and watching lots of sports

Just a note to let you know that I appreciate your support

I have jumped on the “Blue Jays” bandwagon and I am watching them play

I never really followed them way back in the day

I was a diehard “Expo” fan and am still a defender

Still can’t believe they folded when they were a serious contender

It has taken me twenty one years to get over that plight

I was actually excited when they “Jays” came back  to beat Texas on Friday night

It has been a crazy summer and the heat has been intense

“Trump” denying “global warming” continues to make no sense

He’s got a lot of heat on him and he is trying to deflect

In the “Jeffrey Epstein” case he is a major suspect

He is trying to prove he is a shrewd negotiator and is getting nowhere fast

He has so many schemes going to hide his skeletons from the past

The “Nobel Peace Prize” is the jewel he wants the most

As far as stopping wars, he hasn’t even come close

He’s met with all the leaders and says he will bring peace

The wars just continue in “Ukraine” and the “Middle East”

As for events in our country, here’s some news you might not like

Air Canada’s flight attendants are officially on strike

Looks like they are digging in hard to get what they deserve

They want to get paid for the actual time that they serve

Lots of duties that they perform are now being done for free

Will they be successful? I guess we will have to wait and see

As they often say, the timing couldn’t be worse

It’s now time to hop in your car and go see “Canada” first!
