Numb. 1126 Quelle Différence (plus Finis?)

HAD EAST vanquished WEST

had SOUTH conquered NORTH

what would be different?

Not much. Of course.

Winner or loser? It doesn't matter.

The result is ever the same.

Virtue prevails and evil's defeated.

Just ask the winners with skin in the game.

(NOT, mind, The BYSTANDER who stands aside,

cynically smirking, commenting snidely.)

Victors assure us, whatever their sins,

they are where they are because right always wins.

            FINIS?                    

TIME, we believe, to call it a day.           

At least, that is, for the moment.            

Will we return? That's hard to say.           

Depends, in a way, on who foments             

what, who loses the plot,                     

whether or not we go further to pot.          

Near daily near rhyming we can all do without.

Ergo, for now, BYSTANDER out …                

The Proprietor.         

 —30—                                         

Numb. 1125 Who Done It?

THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOMEONE behind it

whenever something goes wrong,

when it rains on your birthday,

when somebody sings THAT horrible song,

when your team — or your party! — loses (again!),

when the love of your life says, “Let's just be friends.”

For you to lose fairly is clearly impossible.

So when that happens, someone's responsible.

Someone's to blame. Perhaps even Adam.

It's a conspiracy. It DID NOT “just happen”.

Numb. 1124 Why Us?

WHY IS humanity such a calamity?

Why should our species persist?

We are the damnation of all creation,

It would be best if we ceased to exist.

Yes, children are cute.

As are lion cubs.

But both grow up.

Aye, there's the rub.

Lions, like us, gobble up grazers and kill other predators.

Aside from that, they don't do much harm.

We kill, we pollute … we do what suits us,

smarmily saying it's part of our charm.

Could it be (locally) we are Catch-22?

Our whole purpose is to destroy?

Were we deployed to end it all?

Or is it destroying is what we enjoy?

If we disappeared

would we be missed?

That's asked and answered.

Case dismissed with prejudice.

Numb. 1123 A Question

WILL WE EVER get over magical thinking in re economics and God?

Conceiving conceits, at best, inconceivable, believing them true however odd —

at odds with fact and mathematics (which are not acknowledged by unlatched fanatics)?

Numb. 1122 Heavin's Gaetz

What do the Fates have in store for Matt Gaetz

while all the while he anticipates

further encounters with girls half his age?

(In Epsteinean circles, such things are the rage.)

If they are in high school, juniors or seniors,

it clearly falls under le vieux droit du seigneur.

And if they are younger? Well, what of that?

Mattie's a Trumper, no prevert Democrat

that sucks baby blood to keep itself young.

Mattie's a reptile Republican.

One of us lizards from outer space

who know we are THE MASTER RACE,

madcap, irrational lying machines.

And, yes, by by all means this includes Taylor Greene.

Mattie, along with our Little Marjie —

the present and future of Honest Abe's Party.
