The line between juvenile and senile is razor-thin.

Still waters run deep, so I'm told
but political waters are turbid
'cuz shallows pick up all the flotsam
with shouting about what some turd did*

They curse and they turn like a whirlwind
while stirring up hatred and ire
the fog of confusion well suits them
their mem'ries are short, like a liar's.

A deeper-cut channel of thinking
would render a river of blessing
the garbage could then begin sinking
just like Teddy's car, I am guessing.



(*yeah, yeah. Like it's easy to find a rhyme for turbid.)

Ugh.

It's really hard to get Jean out of turbed in the da morning, especially when she's prone to staying up past 2:00 in the am.

Even though your link is non-functional, Dingy Harry should be simultaneously investigated by the Ethics Committee and the FBI for his apparent tampering with confidential documents.

Then a nice long hiatus in Leavenworth would do him good.
