Commentary on the world around us in simple Mother Goose type rhymes to be shared among people from all walks of life. I may be contacted at: Skittyman1@gmail.com or twitter @KevinSkittyman1.
The young boy sat at his Master’s knee and asked. “Master, what is the truth?”
“Grasshopper, why do you ask? Is the truth not what it should be?” the elder inquired of the youth
“Master, I am puzzled. The truth used to be obvious. Now it seems the truth is elusive”
“Lawmakers from the village continuously make new laws in a way that sounds collusive”
“Grasshopper, the explanation is simple” The wizened one stated. “The truth only exists if you agree with them”
“And if you don’t agree the lawmakers are quick in your beliefs, condemn”
“But Master, what is the truth? Why do these lawmakers get to change the rules?”
“Because young son, these leaders are elected by us and then with their new power, treat us as fools”
“They want us to understand since we voted them into power they must be superior”
They sing the common folk song about helping fellow man, but filling their treasure chests is their motive ulterior”
“But Master how does this help us in our quest for a fulfilled life?”
“Wouldn’t these people just add to unhappiness in a world already filled with strife”
The old man held out out both hands. One held a tiny pebble, one did not
“Young son take the subsidy pebble from my hand now or you won’t be left with squat”
“But Master,” asked the youth. “That is only a tiny pebble in your hand. Will there be anymore?”
“No my son, but one small pebble is better than nothing so you will be able to survive but remain poor”
“Just remember you are only here to serve the lawmakers and in turn they will supply your basic needs”
“You are not to question their devious plans and blindly follow where all this leads”
“But Master, I’m poor now, feeling hopeless and living in poverty conditions”
“Not to worry young son. The lawmakers have told us all we are all in a period of transitions”
“But Master, how long will these transitions last?”
“They’ll last until we are forced into Washington worship, no one owns property and all is gone that was once gassed”
The pastries remained untouched in the center of the table. Sweat stain were rapidly spreading in all the armpits
The director looked around at the assembled group of agents and snapped. “People, this is as bad as it gets”
“The press has turned on us, and we need to pull off a big story to make us out as heroes and put us back in the country’s good graces”
Suddenly an agent from across the table spoke. “Let’s take down a major politician as that’s the kind of story America embraces”
Peering closely at the agent the director asked, “ That idea has potential. Just who do you suggest?”
“Well Mr. Director, it needs to be someone to make the front page news. Someone we can drag out of the house half dressed”
“Sounds good” stated the director. “But I need names to obtain the necessary warrant”
“What about Hillary?” asked the agent. “Her behavior has always been considered abhorrent”
“Hmmm, I’m thinking that a news video of Hillary in her night gown in the middle of the night might cause viewer projectile up-chucks”
“Beside to transport all the potential illegal documents from her residence would be difficult as we only have two hand trucks”
“Okay what about Hunter?” asked the agent determined to contribute to a major arrest
“Look, we can’t touch this guy” stated the director. “Besides, we have his laptop and right now its on loan to a senior agent’s bachelor party for a drug and hooker fest”
“Well,” said the agent “We can’t go after Pelosi and her drunken husband for her insider trading because to remove all the documentation would take more than two hand trucks”
“And Zelensky is out as he is currently hiding behind a huge wall of money built by American taxpayer bucks”
“So it looks like we’ll have to go after Trump again as we know half of America hates him”
“And while we’re at it, we can rifle through Melania’s wardrobe to see if she has any help in looking so slim”
“That sound like a plan,” stated the director. My only concern is this surprise raid might leave America in a tiff”
“Not to worry,” stated the agent. “Besides if we can pocket some of Melania’s delicates it would give the big guy something else to sniff”
“And it would demonstrate to all of America that no one is safe from us”
“Our power is absolute we don’t care if in the FBI, America distrusts”
The onslaught of American democracy continues. This is happening in spite of the top three lawmakers not appearing to be on the same page
Barely appears only partially conscious and doesn’t seem to move well anymore. Could it be that mental acuity is linked to old age
These days Barely has trouble with stairs, reading teleprompters, and snarls at any unscripted question
His leadership has the United States struggling through inflation and is now denying the country is in a recession
Apparently he looking past the country’s general malaise and is hanging his hat on the price of gas
We’re supposed to be throwing confetti as the price of gas has fallen below five dollars just as he forecast
We can now celebrate the new normal of four dollars a gallon fill-ups and hope we’ll have enough in the tank to hunt for baby formula on empty store shelves
Perhaps Barely can call up old bedtime stories and flying in on moonbeams the formula can be created by elves
Rarely once again was not seen with her boss the President. She was busy searching the on-line hiring sites trying to find an office staff
Then, according to her schedule, she is registered for speech therapy in an effort to do something about that annoying laugh
Time is getting tight for number two as she only has a short time to stab her boss in the back
As her eyes are on the highest office, and she needs to let the world know she has the inside track
Merlot knows her time as leader is limited. After her Asian trip of kicking hornets nests she is going to sit back and realize she is low a quart
She’ll have make a concentrated effort with several bottles to rehydrate on the flight before returning to port
All the hand gesturing in the world isn’t going to save her from the tar and feathers if something goes south
America sits and waits for the retaliation from her well armed enemies due to one gaffe from her mouth
Unsupported by Barely and Rarely she worked hard to get the enemy’s sabers rattling with this trip
But all can sleep well knowing she met with semiconductor chip makers to support her stock portfolio before the November pink slip
The infighting, hatred and incompetency has left us an eighty-year old botox queen, a gibberish talking Vice President and a decrepit lame duck.
Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck
The chest thumping had ceased as the man caved like a sand castle at high tide
He agreed to his thirty pieces of silver and figured the shallow citizens to take it all in stride
The ridiculously named, Inflation Reduction Act is now just a single vote from passing
The payola feeding trough must be filled before mid terms and the spend heavy policies start collapsing
Like explaining this concept to two year olds, this bill isn’t at all about spending its about investing
What’s not explained in the very small print is all about making the rich richer, increasing taxes on the middle class while hiding behind closed doors to eliminate Republican contesting
Trumpets are blaring and announcements made that the wealthy and richest businesses will now pay their fair share
That load of farm yard fertilizer will be served up warm and steamy as no one has yet to figure how to get blood from a turnip or a billionaire
That will not change as now Mr. Manchin’s West Virginians will have their mountain tops dotted with windmills from Canada and Mexico
Allegedly, a deal was struck to increase gas and oil production by the same administration that hates all things Texaco
They’ve lied before, and they’re lying now. Gas prices will remain high and ever poorer citizens once again have been hoodwinked
There is no inflation reduction, it’s only about controlling and fleecing citizens as the elites running the New World Order are all interlinked
With a tiny nod to some Medicare recipients, this bill is all about spending for the New Green Deal and will continue to squash America’s dream
So thank you, Mr Manchin, we appreciate you shedding your wolf costume exposing your party’s jersey as a true member of socialist team
The reports are out and in spite of the economy’s downward trend and gloomy outlook, there is no recession
To acknowledge the President’s policies were failures would require an upright person to give an honest confession
Touting the fact the price of gas was down 50 cents at the pump the Press Secretary was waving the victory banner
She had to shout loudly as the calls for police officers to handle the current lawless outbreak were non-stop on the police scanner
Ukrainian President Zelensky was demanding more money from US taxpayers as he needed to equip new troops to be used for Soviet target practice
He needs to teach his troops the use of available camouflage lessons practiced by the migrants streaming across the SW border by hiding behind cactus
That way Americans can continue to fund the survival of Ukrainian troops and citizens and half a million southern border got-aways
Rather than border closure, we need to endure paying the costs of transportation, education and room and board to save them from camping next to the railways
Inasmuch as this group of experts has proclaimed there is no recession, there is no need to worry about an unchecked rise in healthcare expense
Now that people have caught on to the covid payola scam, the administration is grasping at straws with the monkey pox red herring defense
But fear not, the climate change czar has parked his pollution spewing private jet after multiple transcontinental flights to fight carbon emission
Ensuring that people will shiver and starve worldwide as common folk struggle with this ridiculous and unnecessary transition
This administration cannot admit to a recession. They’ll just rewrite the definition to suit their needs
They have no problem lying, spying, and obstructing the American people. This vile form of vermin continues in power by the blood of the American citizens on which it feeds
That groping feeling in your pants are the self-appointed elites of this world feeling for your last dime
All this is planned to distract the public from corrupt members of congress and the vipers living in the White House, all partners in crime
So, two bits four bits six bits a dollar
We’re not satisfied with your misery until you holler
As we want you poor, ignorant and living in squalor
Dinner was hours ago and all homework had been completed. It was time for a little TV and a pan of Swifty Pop
The kids were beside themselves as they watched the foil covering expand and steam escape through its top
The popping sound only increased the anticipation because in three short minutes the kids would all be crunching down on bugs
Mom and Dad, with heads together, looked happily on this family moment feeling the heart string tugs
The TV volume has to be increased as the crunching sound became really loud
A good time was had by all, but unfortunately due to inflation only one bowl per kid was allowed
Yes sir, the New Green Deal was working as planned. Americans everywhere were becoming amateur chefs and entomologists
The current administration was gleefully claiming success and promoters of climate change had no apologists
Not surprisingly, new You Tube videos were appearing showing the proper way to saute grubs
Various accompaniments were debuting on grocery shelves including sauces, dips and rubs
Harvesting backyard bugs had become a phenomenon with countless internet articles and DIY’s
Showing various traps, digging tools for worms and specialty plates to place under the bug zapper to securely hold flies
Of course, for the ruling elite, the cuts of beef, pork and chicken are offered daily on the menus
As the dining areas offered no bugs for consumption in any of the restaurant venues
But take heart America, the Washington elites might consider bug-fare gross and only suitable for all those whose social standing from theirs are considered beneath
But scientists are hard at work to get that dung taste out of worms and creating legless crickets so the body parts don’t get caught in your teeth
The weather forecast once again was calling for no relief from the current heat wave
And the local Bijou is showing the summer blockbuster movie featuring a star who’s always been a fave
The film had been released four weeks ago so the lines to get in have dwindled
Figuring we could catch the first showing at reduced ticket prices, we wouldn’t feel swindled
So to speed up the ticket process we decided to purchase on-line, so we could breeze right in to our seat
Swallowing hard when the ticket prices showed up in the click to buy box the afternoon reduced price was way more when it was printed on the receipt
Checking back on the fine print, the amount charged was an add-on for a processing and handling fee
It seems a surcharge of four fifty was considered a small price to pay to get into a movie hassle-free
But this was early afternoon and an escape from the heat with an enjoyable film seemed like winner
Slowly advancing to the pick up ticket window as the the old folks shuffle was in full swing, they too were figuring on a movie and an early bird dinner
So we took our place behind three blue-hairs who spent the next ten minutes looking through old Kleenexes, pill boxes, and breath mints for exact change
While the seductive smell of fresh popcorn wafted over everyone standing downrange
It was at this point where we realized a Brinks truck was necessary if we needed popcorn and a drink to enjoy the showing
The best value deal on the menu board consisted of a reusable five gallon bucket of popcorn and a half gallon of soda to keep the type II diabetes growing and the bladder flowing
All for $49.95 with free refills and if one brings the bucket back to a future showing your popcorn will only be two bucks
So a lesson was learned, it would be cheaper to have a early lunch at a four star restaurant before the movie and you won’t have to buy your snacks with sacks of money protected by armed guards from the Brinks trucks
Once again he looked into the camera and whispered as he read, “It’s not my fault”
The fact America wakes up everyday poorer than the day before is due to the Ukrainian assault
Take no responsibility for any of your actions has become the new mantra for weak kneed Americans everywhere
Do something wrong, fail to pay off a debt, break a promise and there’s no longer a need to despair
Promise to unite America and end the hateful division and in less than two years you’ve managed to increase the parties’ separation
Blame all that on the republicans and the previous administration
Appoint your Vice President to take control of the border crisis and the unchecked immigration
After a 45-minute visit she offered up word salad about root causes and nothing at all about the Constitutional law desecration
Offer the manufacturers of the covid “vaccines” total immunity to any tragic side effects and any subsequent lawsuits
Continue to issue government mandates to effectively control the citizens without any fear of legal disputes
Forgive college loans that were willingly signed and now the $125,000 liberal arts degree isn’t providing enough to survive
One just didn’t think that a huge monthly note for the next thirty years would be hard to honor at twenty-eight five
Criminals can openly shop lift, attack the weak, and shoot at will but that’s not about behavior it’s all about their upbringing
As Congress stays obsessed with the January 6th keg party gone bad causing six weeks of taxpayer funded hand wringing
When you take no responsibility for any of your decisions it’s easy to stomp on the flag, written laws and citizens’ rights
Then claim its everyone elses’ fault when every decision fails and no one unites
Much has been written lately about America’s drug induced mental illness. The hand wringing has now become front and center
Lawlessness and drug zombies are filmed daily as this administration allows massive quantities of drugs from other countries to the USA to enter
Everyone is looking for their next high and willing to do anything to find chemical paradise
Sell their possessions, their bodies, or theft becomes their only occupation as their brain screams to feed it’s vice
The gutless media has taken up this cause under the dumping ground label of mental illness
Videos of tent encampments and countless people with fixed pupils and rampant drug issues are shown nightly as evidence of this sickness
The White House seems to not understand that a new czar that can fully appreciate this problem occasionally lives right under their roof
The Biden family of low lives has it’s own drug expert with a laptop as proof
Unlike appointing his incompetent Vice President to fix the border
The assignment for this individual was made to order
The President could appoint his own son as the new White House drug lord
And for just 10% to the big guy, his son will think this time he really scored
His advice could prove invaluable as he would be quick to know where the good drugs are coming from
And to protect the American citizens he would personally try them all to see which ones give the glorious high and which just make you numb
So take heart America, there’s hope on the horizon for America’s drug issue
The Bidens own the solution that can ride to the rescue
Sleeping had been difficult. The previous twenty years of hard work had been wiped away in eighteen months by one failed administration
401, savings and a somewhat comfortable life had all been eradicated with the inflation taxation
Finally, drifting off, this individual had a new dream, and not the ongoing nightmare of demons chasing him down a narrow pathway
This vision came like a lightning bolt. The sequence, though somewhat blurry had a solution for Washington’s disarray
The nations’ citizens had been calling for deliverance from the left wing’s agenda disguised as climate change
The farce of blaming all things bad on Russia had become old hat. The dream image of fast resolution now didn’t seem at all strange
Washington has become united only by their childish behavior on both sides of the aisle
Demonstrated daily on all subjects such as Ukraine spending, the pandemic hoax, abortion rights, immigration, and the January 6th monkey trial
There is one sure bet however, these congressional people will all think with their wallet first and how to keep the money flowing to themselves
While America’s suffering and needs are reflected in higher prices and empty store shelves
It seems that neither house of congress can operate before 10am, so wait until the executive branch has it’s morning briefing with a side of prune juice and congress gavels to order
Then ring the west side of the congressional hill with 650 bulldozers like immigrants charging the southern border
Just remember to keep the elected officials rooted in place by waving an idea of more payola under their noses
And let the dozers push east until all that’s left is blacktop and a garden of roses
Burning that vilified diesel fuel, keep those big treads crashing through the congressional halls like a steer in a china shop
And keep pushing east until all the bull shit disappears and the bubbles stop
The Federal Government has always been quick to enforce what is best for its citizens. Pick any subject and these professional politicians are very proficient
The everyday citizen should accept these decisions and what you are left with should be more than sufficient
This government appointed themselves as experts in medicine deciding that all should wear a mask and load up your body with untested vaccines
But move along, there’s nothing to see hear, as these formulas were causing a massive number of side effects and changes to a person’s genes
Furthermore, let’s lock down the schools and create a class of children permanently behind the eight ball
And to further muddy the waters the profit crazed drug manufacturers are now recommending the shots to the very small
Ensuring today’s children will be genetically modified and a good chance of being dead before realizing it’s all been a big lie
The Federal Government is counting on this cash windfall from drug manufacturers to fund their own money supply
With their dirty hands in all things climate change, the future of their gilded lily hangs with electric cars and wind mills
The funding for these fundamentally flawed New Green Deal projects will be funded with drug money and hidden in their 1000 page bills
Yet no one is screaming about the fact that America has hit its own proverbial iceberg and is rapidly taking on water
This uniparty government is playing American citizens, with their cleverly placed social media bots, like the shallow fools they are while being led like lambs to the slaughter
Interestingly, the one time a branch of the Federal Government backed out of a ruling that put the rights of citizens back to the states
Is the ruling that sent the uninformed screaming into the streets with their posters, violence and the vulgar shouts of their hates
