Rhymes and the occasional pun As a way to have some fun.
Trying to give the Dems a chance
Plausible, at least at first glance.
Members of the professional class must step up to the plate
If they did that it really would be great.

Kenesaw Mountain Landis
Is turning over in his grave
For the prevalence of sports gambling
Shows how the nation is depraved.

While idealism may be dead
It seems to have gone to my head
For when extraordinary ideas feel
As if they are real
Then a sense of optimism can spread.
This post might confound the expectations articulated in Klein's piece:

Not knowing the day of the week
A sign that I'm well past my peak
While old memories seem clear
It's the recent past that I fear
After not paying attention I freak.

This author must be a comedian
Confounding the mean with the median
Then with classic works juggle
To ignore others' struggle
Arrogance and hubris indeed again.

Assuming convexity
Reduces the complexity
Demonstrating that decreasing returns
Are easier to discern.
Immense frustration
For the crustacean
As it didn't go well
Coming out of its shell.
The coming of the next market bubble
As excess cash needs to down and double
Predicting that is not much trouble
But then we're left with only rubble.
Oh what a riot
A Mediterranean diet
So now I must try it
Then about it keep quiet.
Getting bent out of joint
While making his point
Because he was misunderstood
And that is no good.
Sitting on the can
When coming up with a plan
Helps for ideas that are less dapper
Indeed they've come a crapper.
Why do we evade
The gains from trade?
Is it a masquerade
For something in the shade?
Do not foment
A senior moment
By being distracted
And then mentally subtracted.
My sacro and my iliac
Were giving me a pain in the back
Then there was the lumbar spine
Which also was treating me less than fine.
Atlas shrugged
After he had been drugged
And from that terrible potion
Came a horrible notion.
Keynesian stimulus in reverse
It will become known as "Putin's Curse"
But why deliberately make the economy worse?
To understand that there is much to traverse.
There once was a group of knaves
Who decided all others should be slaves
So they began to revile
By spewing their bile
And finding other acts which depraves.
Going in the wrong direction
Illinois basketball causes fan dejection
Whether the flu or some other reason
It's already time to focus on next season.
The homonym and the synonym were leaving the party
The other guests were still drinking Bacardi
While watching them including pants-smarty
As they exited they heard a hale and hearty.
#WordPlay
Aberration within the human phylum
Lunatics are running the asylum
Is the current craze
Just a passing phase
Or forever purgatory by them?
Earlier in life
With a tendency to indulge
Explains this latter day remake
In the battle of the bulge.
That river in Egypt ---
Denial.
Vichy 8
It's too bad a person isn't a word
For a homonym is okay
Instead we have this theater of the absurd
Which seems to last forever and a day.
@chrislhayes.bsky.social
I wrote a blog post
lanny-on-learn-tech.blogspot.com/2025/01/masl...
which among other things takes the NYT opinion piece on boredom to task for omitting ideas I thought were important to include.
Try to be inventive
Rather than argumentative
Though if you're anal retentive
There may be no preventative.
#ManagingSocialInteractions
When the dictionary says it's a word
But the puzzle doesn't allow it
Frustration with this theater of the absurd
Then wanting to kerpow it.
The ability
To express humility
Without futility
Would be of great utility.
Feeling a bit bumfuzzled
Stuck on another word puzzle
Hoping the key
Is more coffee
My third cup I start to guzzle.
Trying not to snooze
And yet avoid the news
Taking some latitude
To achieve a decent attitude
For it's way too early for booze.
