Lost Our Way

 Do I even have a gender? Do I even have a race?
Will anybody anybody anyone at all extend a little grace?
That I might not be simple I might be hard to know
As noisy as a kettle, as lonely as the snow

Has it become so wrong these days to care for more than I?
When everyone needs recognition the L the G and the B T Q and I?
When everyday there's something else that you just need to buy?
When life takes all you have each day just so you can get by?

There was a time when boys and girls would play and play outside
There was a time when it was enough to just go run and hide
And then seek out the hidden, exploring every day
Now everything is Trump Putin Musk, and we've so lost our way

MADA

 MADA!

I must run for office I'm seizing my chance
I have my own platform where I'll take a stance
And say to all gentlemen, children and wives
That we all need to bring dorkiness into our lives

As true as a bird that flies up to the north
As real as a principle that must be put forth
Just like the founders with paper and pen
We must "Make America Dorky Again (MADA)!"

Identity politics they've had their go
Some think their great but some others think no
America's ready for change don't you see?
And the change that we need is a change that's dorky

So fellow Americans put down your loads
Don't worry 'bout inflation or immigration or those
Don't worry about Trump 'cause he's just got to go
It's a shining new era when the dorks run the show

Follow The Rules (Or Else)

 Rules are real important they really must be just
And we must all agree (you see) that we must build up trust
So on our email mailing list there's rules you must abide
'Cause if you don't I'm telling you then we will send a chide

We'll chide you for your insolence or for your lack of depth
We'll chide you for your manners, and for your foul breath
We'll chide you for not thinking 'bout the others on this list
We'll chide and chide and chide and chide... you get the gist

You're advised you should be wary of what you think you'd post
'Cause some of us may love it but if it offends your toast
So maybe you'd be best of to just discuss the weather
For after all (if you appall) we'll wrap you up in pleather

Course

 I would like to take a course
That I can do while on a horse
I would ride off here and there
While learning 'bout my savoir faire

I would like a five course meal
especially if there is a deal
I'd really like if it was norse
even if it is kind of coarse

I've a project I endorse
To fund it I think I'll crowdsource
To rhyme all day upon a horse
While I love it? Yes, of course!
