Mangoes . . .

. . . etc. 

Dancing, I've heard, is good exercise,
And I'm sure that it's true, still I try and I try.
But my feet, I can tell you just don't follow through.
The music, as always, makes the party - like glue.
On occasions, which rare, 
It works fairly well.
My score may be 'FAIR'
Still it's early to tell.
But, assured, may you rest,
Though I may not be graceful,
I think music's the best,
And the better when tasteful.
It's pure joy, I would posit,
Like eating a mango,
Please excuse these bad rhymes
Here's my song called T-Tango.

True . . .

. . . colors, and some serious issues


(from The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021, by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser)
". . . (Lindsay) Graham seemed intoxicated. "He let me into his world," he enthused. The access and constant consultations thrilled him. "I have never been called by a president this much in my life," he said.  His fealty flipped, he now expressed outrage that anyone would have the effrontery to denigrate Trump, even going on CNN to berate the media for labeling the president "some kind of kook not fit to be president" - the same words Graham himself had once used. . . McCain was disgusted and let Graham know it. . . Graham's main contribution to the day of (MaCain's) mourning was to invite Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. McCain's grieving daughter Meghan said)  . . . "Funeral crashers . . . 'I hope this is the most uncomfortable moment of your life.' " . . . "We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness," Meghan said as Graham sat stone-faced in the audience, "the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served." . . . "The American of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great." . . . "


Ya Got Trouble

Nearness . . .

 

As long as you are near me,
I can get along.
As long as you are near me,
I am very strong.
Definitively able to withstand
So many adversities,
And quite underhand;
From the cloudy sky or ocean blue
I fail to anticipate,
Yet sometimes I do.
As long as you are near me,
All and everything are good.
I have little to fear;
Certainty now and clearly understood.


The Nearness of You
- Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstron

Happy . . .


I like to think of happy stuff
When I hear so much bad news
It really all becomes too much
Promoting growth of blues.
So here's to you and here's to me!
Let's concentrate on that, 
And celebrate with friends we love 
Before another coup d'erat.


Happy Stuff

Care . . .


Cowboy commando; conspiracy fantasists just are no good to me. 
Libertarians imagine that they’re self-made heroes entirely.
Greed is good. Greed is great in my own hands.
Better in mine than yours.
Can we just care for each other?
Why do we need bigger boats?
All the square footage in this whole world
Can’t save one life, can’t bring hope.
Disadvantages just don’t exist
If our share’s bigger than his.
Cunning and shrewdly calculating masterfully manipulative.
Never afflicted by conscience or guilt, keeping the prize in full view.
Never say never. Never say die 
Unless you mean someone else.
Bigotry, high crimes, paranoia, cynics and primitives mystical.
Cultural warriors in their own heads. Mythical anarchist hierarchy.
Seeking some golden age now long-gone,
Blind to the fact things change.

Doubles . . .


The week was a good one.
The weather was nice.
Many hours did I practice
Wanted to be precise 
In performance of the pieces
We'd agreed upon for that night.

On arrival, just one hour ahead
Of the one at which we would start,
Something strange, seemed was brewing.
Our mere presence surprising, 
Was causing a real disconcert.

The appearance of a fellow troubadour
Brought the feeling of sickness inside.
He was there, just like us, to play music tonight.
At the sight of each other, we sighed.
It's got to the point it's mundane, with this place,
A routine like a supper that's cooked.
You see now, once again, for whatever the reason,
She most certainly has double-booked.
