We went looking for some good news as the paper we perused,
Determined we could make a happy rhyme.
We looked in every section from the headlines to Op/Ed
And here’s the best of all that we could I find.
–
We found that household income reached its lowest point in years
We thought perhaps the figures were corrupt,
But after sifting through the numbers we determined with a smile
That the only place for us to go is up.
–
The Cubs are twenty games behind, their losing streak’s intact,
But they keep on filling Wrigley Field with cheer.
One hundred three years pass, without a Series win,
But they keep saying, “Wait until next year.”
–
Debates and White House speeches fill TV’s prime time slots;
They help us choose who we should be approving.
Sometimes they’re fast and loose with facts, but the good thing we found out
Is they tell the truth . . . unless their lips are moving.

I have just read your verse comments and have found them interesting. I am going to try to follow this blog of yours “Moe”, but I must say that I am just learning new form of comment. My grandkids are still too young to teach me how this all works.

Thanks Bobbie O – welcome, hope you enjoy it – we all are now learning from our kids – it’s kind of cool. Great to see you last week – if you get down this way, please let me know.
I love your last line…’unless their lips are moving.’
