Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

 

I have got a cookie recipe that's quite a hit.

Only problem I've encountered is I'm writing it

With this rhyming bug of mine so, do excuse me, please...

Seussilitis ain't ideal for sharing recipes:

Place 2 sticks of softened butter in a mixing bowl.

Add a cup of packed brown sugar. Crack in 2 eggs (whole)

Plus another cup of  sugar (granulated, white)

And 1 cup of peanut butter.  Blend 'til smooth and light.

1 and one half teaspoons baking soda. Then add 1

Teaspoon baking powder, half of salt (You're almost done.)

2 and one half cups of flour; bag of chocolate chips.

Mix, then chill the cookie dough (and wave good-bye to hips.)

Roll the dough into a ball and then in sugar, too.

Place the balls on cookie sheets and grab a fork, then you

Press down. Put them in the oven (350) to bake

For 10 minutes... Couldn't be much easier to make.

I Can't Look

I'm afraid to look and see what Michael Cohen's tape

Causes Donald Trump to tweet about his latest scrape

With the law...  I wonder if he'll tweet it all in CAPS?

Or, if he will start a war the next time that he snaps.

Or, is this new scandal meant to cover up his last?

And, which one was that, exactly?  They go by so fast.

Were we still on Putin?  Hell...  I'll have to check my list;

It's the one with reasons I continue to #RESIST.

It's a pretty lengthy list and, 'though I've written small,

I've required several pages just to hold it all.

Guess my list is not the same as those inside Trump's camp.

If it were, then they - like me - would all have writer's cramp.

What's Happening? Part 3

Donald Trump did everything except bestow a smooch

Right on Putin's Russian ass - completely screwed the pooch.

Dancing like a puppet to the tune that Russia sings...

Makes me wonder why Trump's letting Putin pull his strings.

Trump said that he couldn't understand why Russia would

Meddle in U.S. elections and that Mueller should

End the witch hunt... Never mind that everyone agrees

Presidents leave politics behind when overseas.

Presidents don't disregard the briefings from their staff,

Don't ignore indictments, then explain it as a gaff.

They trust their intelligence reports and don't agree

With the word of former members of the KGB. 

I don't know what's happening or how we reassure

NATO allies in the region, but one thing's for sure

Putin got the guy he wanted - Trump as president -

And he's proving more than worth the rubles Russia spent.

The Celebrity President

 

I don't watch Big Brother; I don't watch The Bachelorette.

There are no Real Housewives fighting on my TV set.

I can't stand the kind of shows they call "reality."

I don't find them entertaining; not my cup of tea.

I do not like any shows where judges make a choice -

If someone is talented, can dance, or has a voice.

Not the target audience at which the Networks aim;

I don't want to see somebody's dreams go down in flame.

It's the kind of TV genre that the president

Loves the way that he loves FOX & Friends, because he spent

Years when his own program, The Apprentice, was the rage.

Sadly, he has brought this genre to a larger stage.

Tune in for his big reveal, tonight at 9 PM,

When Trump names his SCOTUS pick; his second one of them.

'though I'm a Survivor, I feel Naked and Afraid...

Sure that I'm not gonna like whatever choice he's made.

Choosing Sides in the Culture War

 

I am almost 60 now, but I have never seen

Anything like this before; the differences between

Those who like the way that Donald Trump has done his job

And the folks, like me, who look at him and want to sob.

'though I've tried, I cannot understand the people who

Still believe the president says anything that's true.

Any time his lips are moving or he's typing tweets

He lies (or insults the global leaders whom he meets.)

I find that disqualifying; Trump supporters cheer.

Think "elites" are only weeping in our craft-brewed beer.

Claiming "incivility" when someone argues back,

Screaming there's a "culture war" and they're under attack.

I can't see how they feel threatened; aren't they the ones

Who hold all the power now (and almost all the guns)?

I can't wrap my head around it, though I've really tried...

Last time that I thought too hard about it all, I cried.
