Trump said most recently,
Congress must see reality…
Force their spending
Like ours–unending,
Without taxpayer subsidy!
–
Republicans want to give up,
Business as usual stuff…
THEIR coffers full–
Why should they pull
For anyone when they’re ensured enough?
–
Check what I said earlier*
FEW POLITICIANS are pure…
Blind to our needs
While their guarantees,
Set them up royally for sure!

*See my poem FIRESSTORM MATERIAL–POLITICAL, posted earlier today.
A mythical griffin is true
To its nature blue…
Made of rock–
Sturdy stock=–
It never no never boo-hoos!
–
Unlike the “comedienne,
Who’s turned herself into “victim”…
Self responsibility
Is unconscionably,
Denied by her or him!
–
Now a lawyer she seeks,
Someone else must pay her lost “ekes”
She did the act–
No one “made her”, in fact–
Most of us see through her pitiful squeaks!
–
It’s time for this child to grow up,
As one wag said–MAN UP!…
You’ve gone too far
With behavior bizarre,
With morals you’ve proven corrupt.

On my way to work an entrance lane
So often becomes a pain…
What do folks intend
When the KNOW it must end,
Clear signage they’re ignoring again!
–
One or two actually try passing,
One tells by the speed they’re amassing…
Sneaking by on the right
Close enough to cause fright,
From the car model, they are typecasting.
–
Some act like it’s the exit ahead,
Common sense in this world appears dead…
Several car-lengths along
Do the realize they were wrong?
I don’t think it enters their heads!
–
Speaking of turn signals going,
Today a driver was slowing…
Ignored the exit ramp
SPED UP with winking lamp,
Merged into traffic not knowing?
–
One is tempted to make wisecracks,
Driver’s iicenses in Cracker Jacks…?
In the box as a prize–
Do they not see with eyes–
Thank the Lord the route has no railroad tracks!

–
Via local channels,
Little plots sprout solar panels…
Habitat
Is gone like that,
In woodland creature annals!
–
Every old gravel pit
And lots of the newer ones fit…
Being filled with arrays
To catch sun rays,
For energy profit.
–
Producing energy costs,
Much higher the birds lost…
Killed by spinning
Blades thinning,
Out enormous flocks!
–
But who needs all that dead wood,
Just “trash”–no good–
People vote
The almighty volt,
But never have understood.

(An opinion piece)
Some observations please,
In the midst of all the sleaze…
Republicans say
“Trump…AWAY.”
Wanting to bring him to his knees.
–
Last I heard an report,
Democratic campaigners were FOUR…
Obama, his wife,
Bill, Hillary and V.P. strive,
All on the campaign tour.
–
Other than Gov. Pence,
Trump has no supporting defence…
Mean-spirit guys
Won’t lift their eyes,
Or do anything for Trump hence!
–
Your Convention really meant naught,
In selfish cruelty caught…
You’re saying “Go to Hell,”
To the people as well,
Acting like you’re Hillary bought!
–
It’s the hissy-fit people I implore,
FOR ONCE..put your egos out the door…
He’s not from your camps
But give him a chance,
In taxes we’ll always pay more!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
(An Opinionated Poem)
Sleeping in an office cubicle,
And not saying I did…
Motion sensors keep the lights on–
The sleeper is never hid!
–
Now is it from restless legs,
Moving so lights don’t dim down…
Or is it when waking up
Movement brings the lights on?
–
Suffice to say the sleeper
Never quite could decide…
Enough that nobody caught him
The few hours he had to abide!
–
–J.E.C.
Security is sober,
Maybe until October…
Gate motor’s fried
It can’t be denied,
And only one camera can cover!
–
–J. E. Caswell
PLEASE NOTE…Gate illustrated is not necessarily the style referred to.
Ricky was right,
Explosions in the breeze…
But most of the “works”
Were hidden by trees!
–
Some were bright enough
To show right through…
Occasionally one
Over the top blew.
–
Nearing July Fourth,
Fireworks in most towns…
If I want to see some clearly
We’ll have to make the rounds!
–

GRATITUDE FOR “MY” WOMEN
–
I would have come on my own,
But she said to bring the wife…
Can’t get away with “nothing”
But that’s how I prefer my life.
–
Even joking is dangerous
For what, in an instant, he’ll do…
Reminded of certain realities.
Makes his heart remain true.
–
What’s in a fertile imagination
I’m told in a man is okay….
But when he strikes out for “freedom”
He mustn’t slip away!
–
He loves his wife, but excitement
Of another woman looks fun…
Sometimes a loving reminder
Confirms you’re the only one!
–
He may not like his dreams dashed,
By the targets of his urge….
But he needs to face it–
Betrayal is not a loving word!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
GOLDEN AVENUES
–
Driving home this afternoon,
My “baby” in the car…
Sunlit wonder all around
From a burning orange star,
Trees ablaze in glory
Shielded those trees bare…
Formed a perfect backdrop
For sunlight-scented air!
–
But I had to hurry
Against the blinding sun…
Didn’t due to worry,
I had to make that run
To get her home and safe…
Would I get to work on time–
I had to keep faith!
–
Golden avenues along which
We traveled by car…
Lit with welcome light
From a friendly star;
Got the Missus home again
And then off I flew…
Arrived only an hour late–
WHEW!!!!
