55 and gloomy-just the kind of weather the spooks around here like...
It was chilly here in the alcove, so I had put a throw I had on the chair over my legs and feet. Titus jumped up onto the chair with me, curled up under the throw and started purring-he is still there, not paying any attention to the fact that I’m typing within inches of him...
The scandals on Obama’s watch
Are creating quite a mess-
He wants to enjoin more taxes
And even avoid “his” press
He called out two senators,
Both vets who won’t play nice
And disparaged the veracity
Of his little puppet, Rice
None of this seems to be working-
If he can’t find a better trick
He will become more irrational
And paranoid like tricky Dick
Does Mr. Hyde prowl around there at night? Have a great time!
I think he is already completely irrational. A+ for you!
Thank you! I think you are right...
