Bedlam & Brilliance

Protests continue to roil nationwide
Prez brushes 105,000 dead aside
Peaceful protesters attacked by cops
Prez dreams of ways it all stops
But, no empathy, no plan, no clue
Virus, racism, no idea what to do
Change subject, someone to blame
Never my fault, always his claim
Just ask, I'll give military a call
Start to loot, lets shoot them all
Fat Bill Barr, blaming the far left
Of any evidence, he is bereft
Currently his life is so hard
No aid to fetch him bucket of lard
Cries for president to lead
Sadly, a 3 1/2 year need
I don't think that's likely to change
With a sociopath this deranged
While..all white cops in riot gear
Stoke a country rife with fear
And, the virus deaths still rise
Is bedlam a real surprise
Today on Earth

There was good news yesterday
Saw a rocket fly away
Two astronauts were on board
From Russia, finally cut the cord
About to dock with space station
Some good news in divided nation
Coolest part of the flight
First stage back on deck, so light
Elon, SpaceX, way to go
We all needed positive show
Today On Earth

At least a lovely close to May
Cool, dry air has come our way
Lots of clouds but little rain
Weather trends, hard to explain
After mild winter & lovely spring
What will this summer bring
Long term, this we know
Rising temps, less ice & snow
And, cutting trees, a disgrace
To put solar panels in place
Current trend, local greed
Yes, solar panels we all need
But, should be on our roof
With a meter, we'd see the proof
That we could use less power
Don't really need 1/2 hour shower
But, not Dominion's greedy plan
Want all the power in their hand
For ever
Panels on roofs take that away
That's what we all need today
On Earth

Pretty standard day of quakes
No big waves or breaks
Mag. 6.0 in Peru
5.6 in Japan, too
Mid-Atlantic ridge lava quake
Just off Haiti, 4.7 shake
Oklahoma, the fracking blues
Use less oil, we must choose
Will we learn, will we change
Not that tricky to rearrange
But, first we need a leader
Still only got a moron tweeter

Draining The Swamp...Here, Anyway!

Still a nasty quagmire in ole DeeCee
Here, finally, clearish skies I see
Humidity is on a steep decline
Cooler air, feeling mighty fine
With cooler, drier air & 1/4 moon
It must be, almost summer, June
Another black man killed by cops
Hard to say when protesting stops
As usual, prez with an idiot tweet
Sending more folks out into street
And, with no real leadership
Civility will continue to slip
Farther away
Every day
Virus death count still on the rise
Still, prez don't care, no surprise
Least, twitter callin' him on his lies
And, rants of all he does despise
Closing in on 2 million cases
Yet, assholes, no masks on faces
Another fun fact for you
More dead, than all wars since WWII
Yet, prez claiming again
Great job, for him, a win!

Planet a little shaky today
This next to last day O May
5.6 along Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Lava moving rock a smidge?
Aussie/Pacific plate boundary
Still acting very shaky
Indian plate also in on action
Himalaya mountains, the reaction
Aftershocks usual US locales
PR, Nevada, Idaho, quake pals
Time to get out & about
To the neighbors a shout
And, a dog retrieval
He is a retriever
But, I'm constantly retrieving
Him

Wet, Dry, Wet, Dry..Months Go By!

A roller coaster of dry then rain
In a year, so far, quite insane
Without leadership, 103,000+ dead
Tweeting lies, prez Punk'n Head
Seems all rain forecast of late
..We'll just have to wait
Still cloudy with swampy feel
Humidity that you can almost peel
Off your damp skin
Tropical air is in
Hope: a cold front on the morrow
Will end early humidity horror
Yet, it's not early, it's end o' May
And, still not had a 90 degree day
On this piece
Of Earth

Other than usual US aftershocks
Not a bunch of moving rocks
Meso-America, little shake action
With subduction, normal reaction
Tonga, Japan & Vanuatu
Normal stuff, shaky, too
Sun still at sunspot minimum
But, new blast about to come
Likely a new cycle storm
Galactic-ally, is there really a norm?
Today, On or Off Earth

For humans, there certainly is
It's all about greed & big biz
Locally, solar panel farms
Cut those nasty tree swarms
Who needs trees?
When it's cash they sees
Sadly, what big power behoves
Solar panels on roofs
We might use less power
Alas, their profits wouldn't tower
We'd each have more control
Not how BigBiz wants to roll
They want us all on their hook
Energy, fat & sugar all it took
Hard to let go of your bone
They got ya, stuck to your phone
First way out of the trap
Stop buying so much crap
Slow down the money flow
Seen what it takes to lay low
Will we learn our lesson
Better realize Earth ain't messin'
Exponential growth at some point
Gets toooo far out of joint
 And, boom, big collapse
Like a nasty viral relapse
Sure it won't be long to see
What tomorrow will be
Stay safe
Be smart
Mask Up😷
Stay apart
(Got a better idea?
None too clear)

Bertha Comes, Bertha Goes

I watch no TV during the day
So, little attention I pay
But, sometimes I don't see
What's coming right at me
Like yesterday, a disorganized Low
Poof: Tropical Storm Bertha show
Mostly slid just west of here
Big rain was oh so near
But, just humid, tropical air
A day of the muggies we'll bear
Still Cold Front headed this way
Sunday before a really dry day
With May such a cloudy scene
Less than 2" of rain we've seen
Hurricane season's early start
Doesn't make forecasts smart
Maybe, it's Earth, getting hot
And, the reality we've got
We'll see
Got no where to flee
Today On Earth

Aussi/Pacific boundary
Is the shaky place I see
Over half non-US quakes today
Indonesia over to Tonga way
Subduction!!
Rude plate introduction
Speaking of rude: Guatemala
3 volcanoes with a holler
Fuego, Pacaya & Santa Maria
Explosions & lava for all to seeya
Costa Rica's Rincon
+Popo still blasting along
Kamchatka, Indonesia & Japan
4, 3 & 2 on list again
Hong Kong eruption not the same
Just China, playing oppression game
Against yellow horde you speak out
Arrested, dragged off, dead, no doubt
For China, got a soft heart?
Just go shopping at walmart
Fall into China's trap
Buy cheap plastic crap
China knows they'll get away
With crackdown today
With no US leadership in play
Tweets & bluster holds no sway
With Punk'n Head called on lies
Twitter with a reality surprise
Ain't nothing but proof
Prez has trouble with truth
Everyday
Lies fly away
From his fat face
At a scary pace
If he spent less time on the fox
Be a lot less Americans in a box
Over 102,000 now dead
Open up, says Punk'n Head
What'd be great for all of us
He & Pence dead from virus
Wooooooo
Put Nancy in charge
Then we'd be living large

Slow Moving Weather

Temp/pressure differences
Makes the wind blow
Jet stream winds
Get storms on the go
On a warming world
Less differences exist
So, weather systems
Linger, hang-out, persist
Headed up the SE coast
Big ole humid Low
Dumping more rain
On a region, saying, NO!
My goal today
Get more grass cut
Before we enter into
The next rainy rut
To pull that off
Will have to get off my ass
Finish blog, walk a dog
We'll see what comes to pass:)
Today On Earth

USA, over 100,000 dead
All good say prez Punk'n Head
We all know he don't care
Try & put the blame somewhere
But, this ain't Obama's fault
This is on Donny, emptying vault
Tax breaks to the rich
Leave government without a stitch
Obama did it, I want it shut
Then Donny'll find him a slut
Tweet out a few more lies
Deny what we see with our eyes
Unless you're locked in racist box
And, only have eyes for the fox
Then you should get on out
Pool party, no doubt
Shoot your gun
Overeat for fun
Just keep the virus spreading
Prez voters we'll be shedding
Be good for us all
If you give heaven a call
Go on, go mask free
Then, I guess we'll seeeee
Ya
Today On Earth

Vanuatu subducting big today
Magnitude 6.1 seafloor sway
Shakes Mediterranean, off Japan
Lava pushing through again
Along East Pacific Rise
A mid-ocean ridge, no surprise
Nevada & Puerto Rico
Minor aftershock show
West Texas fracking quakes
Exxon doing whatever it takes
To suck the planet dry
Add more CO2 to the sky
Got insurance "refund" yesterday
It was small, but heh..
Retired, don't drive much anyway
But, no virus, who can say
Maybe, been some road-tripping
Now, thru the woods slipping
With a big brown dog
So, need to wrap this blog
Got clear skies, check it out
Give crescent moon a shout
Take a peek at Mercury
Venus'll be hard to see
Up late
Jupiter & Saturn await
Today On Earth
Wild flowers - always nice!!

June COVID Surge

After an irresponsible Memorial Day
A June viral surge is headed our way
No distance on any beaches
Ozark viral cure, apply leeches
Prez is tweeting out new lies
Ignore reality, no big surprise
We'll hit 100,000 dead later today
Prez big concern, got golf to play
With his swing, should wear a mask
Deny he was out, should anyone ask
He doesn't drink & cheats at golf
That alone's enough to cut him off
If you need another reason
Well, how about treason?
Election help, Russia & Ukraine
To vote for him, must be insane
Or just really stupid..
50 million believe a stupid thing
It's still just a stupid thing
Lu Xun
"Lies written in ink can never 
disguise facts written in blood"
100,000 dead
Nice job Punk'n Head

Meanwhile..
On Earth today
Lot of quakes, rock a'sway
Kurils, Japan, Philippine plate
A bunch, but none too great
Looked close at Nevada quakes
Seeing strike-slip trend takes
Little imagination
To spot rock relocation
Atacama desert & New Zealand
More quakes, none really grand
More subduction
Pacific plate reduction
Today On Earth

Here in Old VA
Hints of sun today
NE wedge beginning to slide
Down to the southern side
Bringing heat & humidity
And..more rain we'll see
Tonight might be my last chance
To see Venus, Mercury, Moon dance
Before clouds & storms
Get us back to VA norms
For now, time to shut down blog
Go track down a wayward dog
Have a delightful Tuesday
Staying safe in the USA
Not so easy to do..

A Cool Memorial Day

The cool air wedge dominates
The Summer season hesitates
While the virus just devastates
For leadership, we still wait
More dead than Vietnam & Korea
Responsibility? Prez says seeeeya
Heads out for some golf cheating
While economy takes a beating
Ozark hillbillies frolic in a pool
Science nor logic required in school
Beaches packed, masks not seen
Latest in viral spreading scene
Northam taking selfies at the beach
With no mask in his reach
Worried it might smear black face
Common sense, we see not a trace
On a day to remember war dead
Focus on "me" & greed instead
Brazil & US, epicenters of stupidity
Both with "leaders" ignoring reality
While the bodies pile higher
Earth don't care if you're a liar
Earth don't care what you believe
Doesn't care who you deceive
Will just keep on spinning
So the economy isn't winning
Play it smart, be a fool
Still got a basic rule
Adapt, Migrate or Die
Adapt, we gave it a try
Migrate, we've been laying low
Now doesn't seem good time to go
Yet, fat Americans all about
Waddling with bellies stuck out
Sadly, lifestyle will kill more
In 2020 than virus at the door
And, no one seems to care
"Give me a pill, I declare"
Sit on their lard ass & eat KFC
"Not my fault, can't blame me
I know what I'll do
Hire a lawyer, I'm gonna sue"
So, were all those war deaths in vain
If we just deny, blame & complain
Sure feeling that way
On this Memorial Day
Life is feeling pretty cheap
As lies are allowed to creep
Into every corner of the USA
Solutions slip further away
Earth isn't going to cooperate
Global warming will not wait
While on beaches, fools having fun
No escaping the damage done
Just as surely
As hurricane season starting early
10 years from now, what'll we see
Wonder where that beach will be
In hotel lobbies at low tide
Be a lot fewer places to hide
Current slow down has shown
A way we could be goin'
Use less oil & gas
Chinese crap, take a pass
Air will clear, animals roam
If we spend more time at home
For me, no pool party, no beach
I'm staying out of dumbass reach
When warnings are ignored
More bodies will be stored
That is not the way
To remember Memorial Day
1,000's didn't make ultimate sacrifice
So, fools could ignore good advice
And, do what we're all dreading
Keep the virus spreading
So, remember those who gave it all
Be smart, stay apart, y'all

The Wedge Cools Us Back

Another Cold Front has slid thru
Backdoor style from northern view
With a ruling NE wind flow
Clouds & cool our Sunday show
A High & Low working in combo
Giving summer a one day blow
Moving into the coming week
Temps will rise but not go freak..
Caught a peek of Mercury last night
Venus, too, moon still out of sight
Moon, tonight, will be above the two
We'll see if clouds allow my view

(Mercury is to upper left-dim)

Rift zone lava still moving rock
Results: 5.6 & 5.9 quaking shock
Mag. 5.1 in southern Iran
5+ offshore of Crete & Japan
5.5 quake also off Mexico
Nevada & PR, aftershocks a'go
In fracking OK, 4.0 sway
But, really pretty average day
 On shaky Earth

Virus still spreading nationwide
Real numbers, prez trying to hide
Punk'n Head golfs while more die
Both score card & tweets, a lie
Still over 1,000/day dead
Up the Mississippi it does spread
Dumbassess shopping with a gun
But, mask wearing they shun
But, if you watch the fox all day
Your brain will quickly rot away
Screaming, open the economy
While the wise stay away
Listening to Wyndumb CEO
"Get out, travel, 'Merica on the go
Our hotels are finally clean"
Guess we know what that mean..
Previously that was not the case?
What was on that pillowcase?
What non-fox viewers know
We got a long way to go
Thanks to all on front lines
Working thru these tough times
None of you being paid enough
Nor have plenty of safety stuff
Latest presidential lie
Mail in ballot fraud, his new cry
Lie & lie & lie 'til fools believe
Setting up for election deceive
So, when he loses he will claim
Mail in ballots are to blame
Instead of the reality
Thru his lies, most can see
We will get through this curse
W was bad, now so much worse
Still need but got no leader
Just a fat, lying tweeter
So, stay safe & be smart
Mute the prez, stay apart

The Warm Is On

The rain is gone, heat is here
Summer is tilting o so near
Stalled out Low
Finally on the go
Up the coast
A New England toast
Bird activity in a lull
Nesting, the new bird pull
In USA, 96,000+ dead
Thanks, prez Punk'n Head
Success would be 12 a day
Not 1,200 passing away
Another day, another pack of lies
At white house no one even tries
Or pretends to care
About the chaos out there
Lot of dumbasses without mask
But, need gun for daily task
Troubled times will remain
'Til we remove Donny the inane

At least weather brings a smile
A lovely day in the summer style
Aftershocks Nevada & Puerto Rico
Few 5-ish quakes making a show
Mostly seafloor, no real damage
And, no tsunami slammage
Mercury & Venus, viewing delight
Maybe tonight they'll be in sight
Clouds thin but still blocked view
Tonight crescent joins planet crew
Tanager family lingers around
Don't much eat off the ground
But, trouble landing on the suet
Now, red-bellied going to it
Another day of watching birds
Sipping coffee, rhyming words
In a world full of pain
Personally, I can't complain
Be nice to get out & see
Visit, hug, have a beer or three
But, I sure ain't rushing out
With so many idiots about
Picking up lunch from da O
Had to watch this mo-ron show
Saw mom & daughter yesterday
Mom looked old, in a bad way
Neither a mask, wondering when
Obrigado would be open again
Told, going cautious & slow
"Well, Richmond is open, ya know"
With no mask & no clue
Mom be gone 'fore June is thru?
Here's hoping non-science crew
Gets Natural Selection review
Today On Earth
But, to you I say
Get out on this lovely day
Hope for clear viewing skies
May it bring delight to your eyes
But, be careful & safe & smart
Mute the prez & stay apart

Never noticed these tiny flowers
Can you ID the tree
The leaves you should know

By golly
It's Holly!!

Torrential Rain, Now Just Clouds

Drizzle turned into a deluge late
Now sun trying to infiltrate
Through the ever-present cloud
SUNSHINE, have to shout out loud
The sun has actually broken thru
It was still there; who knew!
Perhaps we'll get a planet peek
Planet conjunction I still seek
At least the air is warming up
Seems it wiped out my napping pup
Short-lived, clouds are back
Perhaps new rain attack
From the system that won't go
No one wants this cut-off Low
At least forecast offers hope
A week without weather mope
Nevada still aftershocks of 5
Gulf of Cali, rock much alive
6.1 'tween Mazatlan & Cabo
Still a few up in Idaho
Mediterranean still with shifts
Planet with continents adrift
Whoa, sun just popped out again
We all know that star will win
Stirs up things, moves air along
Human control, that is so wrong
Human influence & folly?
Is why things are not so jolly
If you won't admit mistakes
Then don't have what it takes
To fix problem-power hungry men
Greed, control, oppression
Overpopulation woes
On & on & on it goes
Cuz we human fools
Don't think the Earth's rules
To us apply
Adapt, Migrate or Die
Then virus came along
We'd better listen to Earth song
Can almost hear planet smile
As we float along river, Da Nile
Earth just ain't watchin' the fox
So, 90,000+ Americans in a box
Like the prez, Earth don't care
About any Earthlings out there
Hope you care & stay safe
Make sure your mask don't chafe
Don't be dumbass, put it on
Then things can move along
Back to our new reality
Safety over the economy
Keep this thought in your head
No economy on a world that's dead
Be smart
Stay apart
Enjoy the sun when it appears
Then later on, some beers!!

Venus Mercury Conjunction; Clouds:(

Another day of clouds, no rain
Another day of sky viewing pain
As is pretty standard for VA
Good show; clouds in the way
With flooding in SW & on the Bay
Days of rain & wind at play
We are stuck in between
With no sun to be seen
And, really no rain falling
Yet, still they are calling
For 2 more days
Of this cloud/rain daze
If you have clear skies
Tonight, turn your eyes
To the northwest
Viewing will be the best
Venus & Mercury, side by side
With a finger you can hide
The two
From view
Whoa!!
Tomorrow another delight for eyes
As Venus drops Mercury will rise
Saturday moon joins the show
Sunday higher it will go
Maybe by then
Clouds will be thin
And, this mess will be gone
Finally, movin' on
Speaking of moving: rock
Nevada still heavy with aftershock
Subtract out Alaska & Idaho
Then remove Puerto Rico
Less than 10 quakes worldwide
And, with very little lava slide
Planet is fairly quiet
Well, 'cept for human viral riot
And, about that, Earth don't care
If we are or are not here
Just a'spinning, doing its thing
Unconcerned if leaders are lying
Unconcerned if humans are dying
Kinda like prez, still trying
To say what a great job he's done
Open up for economic fun
Poll: 30+ million think
We're back to normal in a blink
How soon?
End of June!
30+ million are that stupid
No doubt, they think prez did
A great job
Sitting like a blob
Watchin' the fox
On the idiot box
Alas, reality will rear its ugly head
And, thousands more will be dead
Don't be one of those
Snubbing your nose
At science & reality
Or virus will see you out the door
And, you'll be no more
Today On Earth
Stay safe
Be smart
Ignore prez
Stay apart
Happy sky viewing

More Clouds, Another Bear

Clouds & wind but so far, no rain
And, another bear cruisin' the scene
A large blurry Bear
But, not the big guy!
Suet feeders are full again & busy
Colorful birds getting wild & fussy
Tonopah still with shaky times
And, me still writin' silly rhymes
Hunkered down in a viral world
Watchin' trees get wind swirled
Sucks with clouds this whole week
As Venus & Mercury seek
Togetherness, in west, post-sunset
Waiting for moon to get
Into the photo; by the weekend
Maybe we can finally send
This cut-off Low on it's way
'Til then we're stuck, cool & grey
Monster High & tropical Low
Massive NE wind is gonna blow
It's actually keeping us out of rain
But, just south & west, no refrain
Rivers rising to flood
Roiling with mud
While tidal water in the Bay
Will wash waaay up on land today
2 to 3 feet above normal hi-tide
Little more sediment will slide
Out the Bay, to the sea
Where soon it will be
Sediment, turning to Shale
Earth & rock will prevail

Baby salamanders will crawl about
Laurel blooms will burst out

Spring continues unconcerned
If we humans have learned
Anything
From history
Anything
From reality
Anything
From science
Anything
From cancer
About unbridled growth
And selfish greed
Seems to me
We haven't learned much

More Gloom & Drizzle

Trop Storm Arthur has slipped away
With a move putting Bermuda in play
We are once again on the edge
Of big Low putting down rain sledge
Now centered over Tennessee
Cut off from jet, no where to be
Bird show a little frantic today
All the suet is eaten away:(
Pair of Summer Tanagers hanging out
Male & windows, having some doubt
Most of rain staying south & west
Clouds not helping the shut-in test
Week ten now underway
I'm doing ok with the stay
It was already my lifestyle
Retirement, always brings a smile
Everyday On Earth

Nevada, Japan, Mediterranean Sea
Is where today's earthquakes be
Speaking of big brown dogs
Interrupting blogs
The Breyer monster is home
From his 3 hour morning roam
Refill his hump
Then take a slump
Into nap mode
Awaiting the walk code..
Average quake day, no big damage
And, certainly no tsunami slammage
Plate boundaries on the move
Subducting into trenchy groove
What a crazy notion
Planet constantly in motion
While we think we're in charge
Reality continues to barge
Into our dream of control
Ubiquitous warming on a roll
We cause issues, but can we fix
Sure won't happen with greedy dicks
Tell us shopping is the way
To solve our problems today
Jebuddahommed saying, "breed"
More followers we need
But, just more mouths to feed
Unplanned/loved kids, like a weed
Sure, more sex, but fewer kids
Put on population lids
Buy, eat, use less
Only way to fix this mess
Go out & check the stars
Order take-out, stay out of bars
(Never thought I'd say that
But, today, it's where we're at)
Let the idiots congregate
Tell themselves prez is great
Whine, "open up this here town"
Don't care if it takes granny down
While Punk'n Head self medicates
We all just hope & wait
For the warned against reaction
A heart stopping transaction
Firing squad is what's deserved
But for democracy to be preserved
I'd be A-OK
With a prez heart attack, today
Seeeeeya Donny
Byebye Jonny
Today On Earth

Low in east, Comet SWAN
Need binocs, before dawn
Low in the west, Mercury
After sunset, you can see
Rising up for Venus conjunction
For me, major cloud injunction
Hope you have clear skies
Will be a treat for your eyes

Tropical Storm Arthur On A Shaky World

What could be the reason
2 weeks ahead of season
There's a Tropical Storm
Could it be, Earth is warm?
Or that there really are no rules
Just guidelines, human tools
Cuz Earth will do what it does
Adjusting excesses, just because
It longs to be pressure free
Just like you & me:)
Heat builds, storms form
Rock release, earthquake swarm
And, we got a quakin' Earth today
Entire Ring is a'shifting away
5+ off California, Fiji & Japan
In China & Mar de Mediterranean
And, more big moves from rocks..
Nevada, still dozens of aftershocks
Here, drizzle from outer bands
OBX, Arthur likely shifting sands
Minimal storm gone later today
And, we wait for our next play
Big Low over Great Lakes
We'll see how much time it takes
To get here & how long to stay
How many rain inches our way
Models vary from little to a lot
Saturday, we'll know what we got
Til then prepare to be wet
Nor planet view will we get:(
If clear skies you see
Enjoy Venus nearing Mercury
For now, what bird's up in the tree?
The wettest Dove you'll ever see
Poor soggy thing
Has he been swimming?
Seems too wet to even eat
Or maybe sees me in my seat
Doves are jumpy, quick to fly
But, it finally drops by
For a bite of seed
Hunger, a driving need
Many Americans lined up for food
While prez claims all is good
Clueless, lying fat dumbass
No worries, virus will pass
Followers, "need'a get my hair done"
Fascists still shooting their gun
Me, I think virus is getting the urge
To make a big red state surge
Who will they blame for that
Big trouble if it targets the fat
Sedentary pigs viewing the fox
We'll have to supersize their box
At least their hair will look nice

Cool Week Begins

A little shower overnight
Nothing but clouds in sight
Temps back to Spring cool
Change still the basic rule
Nevada rock still readjusting
Lots of dumbasses still trusting
Prez, facebook & conspiracy
Head up ass, it's tough to see
Anything close to reality
Earth, just continues to be..
Unconcerned, a rock in space
Doesn't care about covered face
Unconcerned about viral woes
If humanity stays or goes
If economy shrinks or grows
If & when a vaccine shows
I just know, ain't no doubt
There's no way I'm going out
Without a mask for some time
Or knowing who has viral slime
So, you fools, keep going out
Help spread virus all about
Just hope your partying justifies
When your grandma dies
Cheers!!
I know I'll be home
Staying smart
Muting lying prez
Staying apart

Earth Is Hot! Storms & Aftershocks

We're still on the warm side
Of a Front, trying to slide
From the North, backdoor
Then heat will be no more
We begin a stormy, rainy week
Actually, Front is rather meek
It's going to stall
Bringing rain for all
But, for now, sun & heat
Is your atmospheric greet
Today On Earth

Wrapping up week 9, Shutdown
I get folks want to wander round
Unconcerned with viral spread
How many'll end up dead?
How many others will they kill?
Instead of staying home to chill
But, in a time of no leadership
Social niceties continue to slip
When prez is a lying pig
Other douches will act big
Waving guns, screaming tyranny
When all the rest of us see
Ignorant racists looking to blame
shame, scare & defame
Anyone that's not white & fat
Can't see where real problem's at
It's not an outside terror
It staring at them in the mirror
Da Nile
Been cruisin' that river awhile
On their alternative Earth..

W. Nevada, over 200 aftershocks
Stuck 'tween two zones of rocks
Sierras west; east, Basin & Range
Fault needed a pressure change
Still seeking pressure relief
Not causing too much grief
Cuz Tonopah
Is very far
From anywhere
So few to share
Their pain, aftershock fear
I know, we felt it here
And, don't want to go back
To local earthquake attack
Elsewhere
NE edge of Aussie plate
Doing a subduction mate
At S. Pacific boundary
Where other big quakes be
Today On Earth

Again, only Venus did I see
Trees in the way of Mercury
Tonight likely storms/clouds
Could be a week of sky shrouds
Throw in a pending storm
Ahead of hurricane 6/1 norm
Arthur about to form
Florida/Bahamian alarm
Earth
It just don't care
About us out here
Heat removal is the show
For storm, quake or volcano
Everyday
On Earth
