We live in a time,
Filled with opinion not fact,
Filled with fantasy not news,
Where WordPress depresses,
And claims to be views.
***
We are closer to war,
Believing alternative facts,
Believing alternative news,
The rumour mill,
And the next daily sleuth.
***
Where are we going,
When alternative news becomes fact,
When alternative fact becomes news,
Are we lining our destruction,
Pulling the pin, lightning the fuse.
***
Is it not our right,
To believe alternative facts,
To believe alternative news,
Spreading our world,
Sharing our views.
***
Rights have responsibility,
Like teaching real facts,
Like dispelling fake news,
So be responsible and teach,
But not just your views.

Whisper
There’s a whisper under my bed,
Right beneath where I lay my head,
It talks to me as I sleep,
And whispers things when I wake.
***
There’s a whisper silent and still,
Right now talking within my skull,
It gives me ideas to write,
And helps me share for you to read.
***
There’s a whisper inside of me,
Right where no one can see,
It speaks with my tongue,
And writes for me in my hand.
***
There’s a whisper on this page,
Right in these lines I’ve laid,
It speaks to you,
And was placed by me.
Facebook, oh Facebook,
Where art thou Facebook,
On the web, hidden away,
Does this link work?
Let us see,
With a short jokey poem,
To test the sharing,
And the new page.

Spend Spend Spend
Happy thanksgiving,
Let’s all give thanks,
And spend spend spend.
***
Remember to thank,
The busy bank,
And spend spend spend.
***
And why not some more,
You wanted it for sure,
Go out and spend spend spend.
***
Did you see that pen,
I’m sure the budget can bend,
Go on spend spend spend.
An Apple A Day
An apple a day,
Keeps the doctor away.
A banana a night,
Takes care of the fright,
A squash an evening,
Keeps you breathing,
A tangerine a week,
Keeps you sheak,
But ten beans a day,
Will blow you away.
