Congratulations Team USA

To the chants of U.S.A. our women's soccer team

Celebrated on the field, achievement of their dream:

FIFA World Cup Champions...  Again! That's number 3,

But the most exciting plays were ones I didn't see.

We were stuck at traffic lights that I could not avoid.

Only 15 minutes late.  Already, Carli Lloyd

Scored 2 goals...  We barely made it home to see her third!

Had to wait until the half to see what else occured.

It was clear before the game was more than halfway done

That Japan could not catch up...  That we'd already won.

'though I'm disappointed that I missed it, I'll survive.

After all, I got to see the celebrations live.

Across the Pond - North Korean Missile Launch

If you believe that North Korea's missile program is for peaceful purposes, then Kim Jong-un has some unicorns he wants to sell you.  (Photo/Hypervocal.com)

After years of trying, North Korea's  had success;

Launched a missile into space - a diplomatic mess.

Kim Jong-un has claimed the missile launch is not a threat.

South Korea and Japan aren't comforted, I bet.

Neither is America, 'cause he can reach us here, 

And he's just as crazy as his father was, I fear.

All the offers meant to help his people out, he scorns.

Now he says his scientists discovered unicorns.

Can those be the scientists who got him into space?

Helped a lunatic to threaten all the human race.

Or, are they the guys who helped enrich uranium?

Either way, it seems to me, those scientists are dumb.

There is not a nation in the region which is thrilled;

Nor impressed that North Korea's scientists are skilled.

I think that, despite his word that Kim Jong-un means well,

If they're buying that, he's got some unicorns to sell.
