#ShePersisted

Jeff Sessions won't do, Liz insisted.
Admonished, still Warren persisted.
She got the word out.
By wielding their clout
The GOP Leaders assisted.

Amateur Hour in Washington

"Silencing" Liz Warren had the opposite effect;
Just another reason I'm beginning to suspect
That the folks in Washington who hold the reins of power
Run our government like some bad amateur hour.

I said I'd give Donald Trump's Administration time
And I've kept my promise... Not a single snarky rhyme.
Although we're just two weeks in - to me, it feels like years -
And, already, Donald Trump's the sum of my worst fears.

I have tried to understand...  I'm watching Fox and Friends,
Where they breathlessly report each tweet the Donald sends.
But I've started having trouble telling what is true.
Scary knowing it's where Trump gets Daily Briefings, too.

Haters Gonna Hate

There is great rejoicing here in each New England town;
Breathing's almost back to normal, heart rate's slowing down.
Soon the rally will be rolling through the Boston streets
Filled with fans who do not care if you think our team cheats.

We get why the fans of other teams must hate our Pats,
Celebrating (yet again) in new tee-shirts and hats.
If we knew there's nothing that our team will ever do
That could match the Patriots, I guess we'd hate them, too.

Sports gods' First Commandment is that fans ought not to gloat
But that rule's suspended when your quarterback's the GOAT.
And real fans of football, even those who curse our name,
Must admit the Patriots delivered quite a game...

Possibly the most amazing game I've ever seen
Since I started watching back at Super Bowl XIX.
We love Belichick and Brady - not for politics -
But because we want Lombardi trophy number 6.
