Stuck on the Tarmac

A winter weather system took a dump,

Began its trek east with a blast of arctic air.

The crusty ends, right behind, came hard.

Cuban political prisoners thawed cigars,

Conceived an evolved star, a stunning nebula.

They reshaped the nation’s obesity

By starting a flu epidemic.

 

Three officers flew to Utah after attending the funeral of

A black kitten, 3 months old, who enjoyed chemical weapons.

Ideological invention, dirty clothes, and a hot idea

Former chief justice Robert issued a formal opinion

Fifty years after the victim was beheaded.

 

A fierce debate raged within the military because

Soldiers illegally remembered the holocaust.

Do you believe passengers, stuck on the tarmac

For 12 hours, should swim in the Mediterranean Sea?

Western Asia was sentenced to two years for corruption.

The first of Virginia’s 72 governors wore a rug on his head.

Obama endured great pain to explain

Taliban is not terrorist, the Afghan-based

Organization claimed an attack on contract

A fighter infiltrated security forces

The U.S. spent $65 billion to build details

Refused to buy war rugs with overt designs

For fear they would put off strong Pharisees

They would not acknowledge their faith

Put out of the synagogue, a rabbi

Peeped at mikveh and refused to move

An e-mail sent to congregants encouraged

Energetic and highly musical worship

A passionate audience collaborated quickly

On the toughest ex-wife’s new husband

In a syndicated series during the latter half

The 80s were sold to local want ads

Reruns and unusual programming debuted

On non-network channels any who

Mostly crappy where I grew up and watched

Each weekend pass without friends

Paying the Rent

He threw his daughter off a bridge

Joyfully left God’s hands reaching

Trusting the Lord to cleanse his questions

 

Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends on

Becoming frail, your death coming suddenly

Listen carefully to the nurses, they may suggest

Struggling to sell sandwiches instead

 

Reshaping goodbye, these big names

Find a way to speak to you

If your sentences are correct

 

This is my thank you to the world

Not everything is abounding in corn

Trite and mawkishly sentimental

A soap opera for film

 

Television can teach, not just act

The objective is to record images

Drawn from my museum collection

 

Fundraising generates additional investment

The Chinese make things people actually want

And spend as little as possible on rent

Muhammad Survives Satirical Staffers

A pair of angered publication penchants

Images of might and majesty

Inspired receivers of divine revelation only imparted

To these few, unique prophets

Yahweh had given them His spirit through baptism,

L'Assemblée nationale rend hommage aux 17 victimes

Killed in the attack, Charb pictured his fist aloft

Forgot to Feed the Cat

As apocalypse authorities worried about zombies

Artificial intelligence like Skynet

They worried about the evil in the world

They had moved to live off the grid

In a veteran RV like third-generation ranchers

They wrote letters to an inmate who slayed in the name

Of God under the banner of Heaven

With a literary reputation conducted at the outer limits

His focus shifted to isolated communities of fundamentalists

Polygamy in civil establishment, Taliban theocracies and zealots

 

In September, in a locked bedroom, all five in the family

Tucked into bed and concluded their probe

Died from drug toxicity - methadone, heroin, pseudoephedrine

Used in the treatment of mental congestion

 

They left a goodbye letter, a to-do list,

And a common question: whose turn is it?

Disjointed

Suicide of a transgender teen pleading

Fix society before walking

The path of a truck struck someone remembering

 

The woman in the portrait, a spirited young American

Full of energy, enthusiasm, determination

Involve an induced weather bomb

Commonly Consumed

We re-released propaganda

Urging murder, serious rampages in Paris.

Police killed three Islamists before they

Paralyzed hostages, killed innocents.

 

In recent years, we explained ideas well.

We included examples, concrete, practical

Comprehensible theories. Look at people

Who need to believe. No one can physically touch

God. Science cannot prove existence.

 

Doubt is even less likely to visit Moscow.

Russia’s decision, one of the myriad reasons,

Published a decree. We now ban descriptions.

A retaliatory tool publicly opposes dubious activities.

 

I’d like to say a few words. We made a commitment to

Reduce food commonly consumed by children.

Including fruit juices, canned fruit and fruit byproducts.
