It Would Be Fun
To think
We are all undergoing
A sense of humor test
And God
In this case
The Word Laughter
Is testing us, both
Individually and collectively
To realize
We are supposed to be filled
With (God) aka Laughter
That our surroundings
Practically demand it
Pssst. Look around
If you look
It is funny
Laughter (God)
Is throwing everything at us
To laugh at
Unfortunately we
The royal We
Are not laughing
So that, when and not if
We die and are still not laughing
We have to come back again
To pass the test
Going on to the next tests
Love and truth
“You have to find the funny in things, Our culture right now is on the brink of so many things, and one of those things is losing our sense of humor. We can laugh — it doesn’t mean we’re irreverent or don’t care.
We just need to laugh.”
– Tammy Pescatelli

Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

Where this should have stopped
Nope….
The bonus buffoon
We are supposed to all be
Laughing at and with is
None other than 45
Also known as
Society’s “straight” man
Individual one
Four times indicted
Social spectacle
Narcissistic nincompoop
(Ha! Made you say…..poop)
The funny thing is
His most fanatical followers
Are not laughing
Which means
The show will go on
Till we are all either
Guffawing
Chortling
Giggling
Smirking
Side splitting
Busting a gut
At the ridiculousness
Of the constant contradictions
Especially when 45 says
He is telling the truth*
Bwahahaha
Help, I can’t stop
(Arms smacking table, head bobbing uncontrollably)
Quick, take a commercial break…..please!!

When The Washington Post Fact Checker team first started cataloguing President Donald Trump’s false or misleading claims, we recorded 492 suspect claims in the first 100 days of his presidency. On Nov. 2 alone, the day before the 2020 vote, Trump made 503 false or misleading claims as he barnstormed across the country in a desperate effort to win reelection.
This astonishing jump in falsehoods is the story of Trump’s tumultuous reign. By the end of his term, Trump had accumulated 30,573 untruths during his presidency — averaging about 21 erroneous claims a day.
What is especially striking is how the tsunami of untruths kept rising the longer he served as president and became increasingly unmoored from the truth.
Trump averaged about six claims a day in his first year as president, 16 claims day in his second year, 22 claims day in this third year — and 39 claims a day in his final year. Put another way, it took him 27 months to reach 10,000 claims and an additional 14 months to reach 20,000. He then exceeded the 30,000 mark less than five months later.

Instead of the focused distraction society is satiated with, a simple questionable characterization would put this to rest. If it was presented that 44 had done and was doing the same, would he have received or be receiving the same treatment?
My guess is….not.
But at least we could recognize we lost our sense of humor.
