They’re saying that Bloomberg is lacking
In stature, his shortness attacking.
…But better short man
…Than shortness of plan
For that, we should all send him packing.

The maiden by Count Dracula was bitten
And though lacking much blood she was smitten.
…She thought, “What the heck!”
…And offered her neck.
Her autobiography’s ghost-written.

Political! Impeach him, they’re saying
Including four senators staying
…To vote to remove
…The one they reprove,
Against whom they’re running and naying.
Hypocrisy much? More than a mere touch.
For Dems, though, their politics is such.
…For three years they plotted,
…By their hate besotted.
Their anger at losing remains much.

I think that I’ve now lost a dear friend
Who’s now past the point where he can mend.
…They took him away
…All feeble and gray
For young folks to care for till the end.

The Brown Shirts, the Klu Klux – both losers,
And so is Antifa, the bruisers.
…They’re wearing a hood;
…They’re up to no good.
The Left is for those thugs excusers.

Kim rules as an evil harsh master
Which will, in the end, bring disaster.
…His yes men must say,
…“We’ll beat USA.”
And lies will flow bigger and faster.

Iran, are your brains even there?
Did you seize two ships on a dare?
…We’d blow you away
…Like wind blows the spray
Except that behind’s you a bear.

George Washington And Smallpox by Dennis Allen Lange

Of vaccinate, Washington said, “No!”
Emphatic he was. “Out you go
…If as soldiers you do,
…Then as soldiers you’re through!”
But he changed his mind, ending woe.
————————————————————-
Vaccination was primitive in Washington’s time. Pus from
a smallpox victim was put into a wound to inoculate
another, giving them (for the most part) a slight case of
smallpox and immunity, though a few even died. When
Washington changed his mind and had his army inoculated,
the death rate in his army associated with smallpox went
from 160 out of 1000 to 3 of 1000.

A bump on the head caused confusion,
An inner and outer contusion.
…The outer was minor,
…Not more than a shiner.
The inner brought life to conclusion.

We worry about broken bones from falls and the bruises we can
see, but it is what we cannot see that may prove to be the worst.

His height made him great ’round the basket.
But sadly, poor Wilt blew a gasket.
…Dismayed by his death,
…We all held our breath –
Would Chamberlain fit in a casket?
