Nightmare

Sleepy

Creepy

Down winding stairs

Murky

Stinky

Silhouette of strange man appears

Shouting

Pleading

You must beware!

Tingling

Tensing

Sensing mine rising hairs!

Turn the corner

To expansive dim-lit square

Sudden movement

Red-eyed black cat stares

Mom peering through kitchen window

Weird!

Her hazy gaze certainly says

She is blissfully unaware

Rustling noise

Garbage-can eating hungry bears

Best friend Bobby’s voice

Echoing

Encouraging baseball cheers!

Running fast

Loud blast!

Must get out of here!

Sky turns dark

Loud funnel cloud moves near

Unique metallic orb

Lands in the clear

Trap door opens

Alien beings leer

Co-worker Stan the Man eyes

Implies you should not be here!

Trapped inside

My mind’s

Nocturnal

Sleep

Induced

Sentience

Nightmare!

Manufacturing Proper Gander Back to the Future

Nixon shock

China blocked

Free Market Frankenstein now

Declines to shop

After years of closing down manufacturing factories

Up and down the American block

Moving overseas

Years later

Finally!

Temu and Tik Tok goods prices

Neoliberally please

Alas aghast currently

Trade War sticker prices up!

Job market down

Trump Tariffs

Creating more middle class and poor frowns

A tax pox on your Exceptional American

Income Inequality Crown

Bring back the manufacturing plants!

How many years will it take?

As we perform the higher cost

Spiraling to company loss

Laying off workers

Hedge funds shorting

Proclaiming to protesting Citizens

Eat your digital cake!

Never question the orders from The Boss!

Ertswhile gullible Consumers

Spend their time

With their heads in the creative bland

Watching Netflix

The Super Bowl

The Grammys

Hip Hop crass vulgar slop

As their Oligarch and Techno-Feudal Lords

Expand!

Musing on Old Media

Spending trillions of dollars

Buying up data farming land

Government gifted money!

Taking trips into Space

Cultural American positive thinking decorum/ MAGA Movement

Dictates!

All in the Nazi fall

is Making America Great

Once again!

A Bear In a China Market

As the day grew darker

There appeared a bear

In a China market

Raging the owner must pay up!

The bruin determined to wreck and disrupt

Commenced destroying

All the delectable goods in the international shop!

When asked how his Jungle mates would shop?

The wily grizzly proclaimed!

All the creatures must henceforth forward

Be tariff shamed!

Via placing all of their honey in my pots!

Pop Goes the Weasel!

Imposing blanket tariffs

Raises across the board prices

Does that benefit poor and working class people?

Or the wealthy corporations and elites

You know the ones’ buying the first-class political seats

Way way way up!

Can you smell the cents of Musk

On the American

Rising Income Inequality!

Fuhrer-esque volatility!

Captained Chaos!

Free Market Frankenstein

Christian Nationalist

Oligarchic Billionaires

Amid the vaunted USA Celebrity

Evangelical steeple

Masked fascist goons rounding up icily

Hard-working

Family-oriented

Tax-paying

“illegal” immigrants

To satisfy the MAGA sheeple

Sending in to California

Federal troops and the deadly Marines!

Against the People

Minneapolis cold-blooded murder!

Pop goes the weasel!

Good Morning

Good morning!

Your yawning

The moonlight is dawning

Good morning

Good morning to you!

Good morning

Stop snoring

The daylight’s imploring!

Good morning

Good morning to you!

Good morning

Birds cawing

Swooping and soaring!

They are stating

Good morning!

Good morning to you!

Good morning

Rest restoring

Onward!

Keep exploring!

May Providence grant more

Good mornings to you!

Fun

Chores

The World

And yours!

Good Morning!
