One More Time

One more time to see your face
To hear your laughter fill this space
One more chance to hear your voice
To try to change that fateful choice
A few more words to let you know
How all my life I loved you so
One more night to wonder why
The last time was our last goodbye

Trumpty Dumpty

Trumpty Dumpty wanted a wall

Saying it was the best thing for us all

A thinly veiled ruse to cover his plan

To make rich folks richer as fast as he can

Trumpty Dumpty, the combover kid

A con man who lied about all that he did

He scorns all our allies, makes friends with our foes

Arrogantly lying where ever he goes

Ignoring subpoenas for crime after crime

Believing a leader could never do time

Paying off porn stars and hiding his taxes

While secretly building his own evil axis

But election day's coming and bringing its tolls

The guilty will pay if we all pack the polls

I hope that his sentence ranks up with the worst 

Unless Nancy Pelosi impeaches him first

Trumpty Dumpty, your time is at hand

To pay for the damage you've done to our land

And history will tell of your treasonous crimes

Recording the truth of these difficult times

For no one is bigger than the people, you see

No room for tyrants in the land of the free

For Philip

Sweet little boy with those yellow-green eyes

Blonde hair and that cute dimpled chin

I've got a half-century of memories to share

But I'm not sure just where to begin

I didn't know what I was missing

Until I laid eyes on your face

Part son and part brother, a part of my soul

That nothing can ever replace

So, I'm looking for rhymes with some reasons

Not sure where to start or to end

Love never dies, but I know in this life

That I'll never see you again

All around me the world doesn't notice

That everything's been rearranged

But they can't see the pain or the hole in my heart

That my world is forever changed
