Art the Official

 

Art the official was quite intelligent

Into meaningful musings he’d put a large dent

His time in research was awfully well spent

And his aspirations indicated serious intent

 

He rightly predicted the rise of machines

The designer holes in knees of new jeans

Making tasty hamburgers using just beans

The dangers associated with trampolines

Too many people living beyond their means

And the benefits of eating your greens

 

But yet no solution to eliminating disease

Or reducing excessive pressure on world fisheries

Or stopping developers from cutting down trees

Including politicians that seem to do as they please

You're putting me out of business with your snappy mono-rhymes here! *wink! wink!* I'm impressed by your choice of well-stated examples in making your point -- the meaning of "show instead of tell"! Somehow your poem feels vaguely like progress, but still with a lingering sense that we're actually floundering. How can I resist reading something political into this? (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Just got over a prolonged power outage as a result of the most damaging wind storm to ever visit our area, so yes, I think that we are floundering, supposedly because of human activity, and that certainly has a connection to politics.
Same same for the fires in your area
Weather is slowly becoming more nasty IMO
Thanks for visit

Hopefully, he'll keep putting dents in things, including the heads of politicians, until all the serious stuff is fixed. Now, where do I get one of those bean burgers?

[john l smith]

I would look to A&W
Do you have such a beast in your vicinity?

A quarter would bounce off their properly made bed
The latrine routine concluded with each shinny head
Designer meals ensured each crewman was well fed
And to each sailor rules of conduct were all read

With no important duty ever being set aside
One duty strangely has been left to let slide
This situation should have ignited a buzz, because
No one’s been assigned to handle the Navals fuzz

[Samuel Dickens]

Heh, heh, well, since there are a lot of females on navy ships now, I will volunteer to manage their belly-button fuzz. The guys... I suggest they be issued tiny vacuums. (Too small to insert their gooey ducks)

[Samuel Dickens]

I forgot to say yes, we have A&W's nearby. I'll order a double-decker with extra yak cheese.
