1) Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
When people don't vote,
This happens to you.

2) I would bigly like them
Here or there
I would bigly like them
Anywhere
I do bigly like
Mean cons and scams,
I do bigly like them,
Drumpf I am.

4) Don and Jr. went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of Kool-Aid,
Don fell down and broke his crown,
And blamed it on Obama.

5) Hickory, dickory, dock,
The man has the mind of a sock,
The sock was offended,
At the White House it protested,
Hickory, dickory, dock.

6) Trumpty Dumpty built an invisible wall,
Trumpty Dumpty could see it all.
All of Trumpty's enemies, AKA all of the Mexicans,
Walked through Trumpty's wall again and again.

Eating his extinct steaks,
Along came a fact who tapped on his back,
And made little hands Trump freak!

8) Old Mother Hubbard,
Went to her cupboard,
To fetch Donny's tax returns.

When she got there,
Donny was there,
And said, "Burn, baby, burn!"

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
