As you sit down today sipping your coffee,

Be glad we can all say good-bye to Gadhafi.

As the rebels took Tripoli and wiped off their brow,

They all looked around and said, “What happens now?”

–

It looks like the case of Strauss-Kahn is dismissed;

It seems there were problems with the hotel help Miss.

She was good with white sheets and white towells, but alas,

Her work with white lies is what foiled her ass.

–

All sports fans are grinning and we know the reason;

It’s because it’s the end and the start of two seasons.

In baseball the teams that are best are convening

And games on the gridiron will finally have meaning.

–

Kris Humphries doesn’t realize the bash he is in

Becoming the ‘next’ husband of a Kardashian;

The New Jersey Net somehow just didn’t know

That the wedding was just a reality show.

Joe Biden’s off to China just to court this favored nation,

But their currency’s devalued due to their own manipulation.

As the bombing in Iraq takes on a darker tone,

We wonder if by year’s end if our troops are coming home.

–

The market still is shaky, see the French and Germans squirm

As they try to get their Euro mates to make their budgets firm.

Rupert and James Murdoch keep denying they knew much;

Can it be these media magnets are that far out of touch?

–

And then there’s poor Chris Johnson, he’s really got it tough,

To be the top paid running back is simply not enough.

Verlander, the Tiger’s ace, put number 18 on the board;

It looks like he is on his way to his first Cy Young Award.

–

The name of Casey Anthony still brings a shuttered chill,

Now her parents are the opening act for the premier of Dr. Phil.

American’s  Got Talent is number one which helps explain the reason

That we’ve had enough of reruns,  let’s start the new fall season.

The GOP’s on the move, thrown in hats it is raining;

Only 18 more months of no holds barred campaigning.

We’ll all be confused about who we should blame;

While the prez says it’s time to stop all the games.

–

Google buys a cell phone ‘cuz they have a lot of cash.

Is the market coming back or is it going to crash?

The electric car, once popular, is now running out of juice,

And S & P got downgraded, seems we’ve killed the golden goose.

–

Jim Thome intimidates most pitchers when he steps up to the plate

He’s just hit number six oh oh and joins a group of eight.

But the season’s winding down for those who hit the ball;

We’re ready for the spotlight on those gutsy boys of fall.

–

Unbroken and A Stolen Life inspire those who read them,

And drugs are not made fast enough for all of those that need them.

The ‘monkeys’ top the ‘maids’ at the movies for the week;

And it seems that 1960 styles have all become quite Sheik.
