Things are getting way too serious up in here lately. I’m trying to lighten the mood, so here’s a goofy short poem I wrote back in my NoVa days. (For those outside this fair Commonwealth, “NoVa” is slang for “Northern Virginia.”)
Hot Cop
protects the Pentagon.
She’s the Lovely Blue Line, people.
You sure can’t call it
“Homely Security.”
If glances were misdemeanors
I’d be a suspect.

I picture a lot of defense lawyers out there mulling over a “Donald Trump defense” for drug dealers.
If I recommend to you that you inject yourself with an illegal narcotic, can I exonerate myself afterward by claiming that I was only “being sarcastic?”
Anyway, the below meme information, if you haven’t seen it already, was put out by the makers of the makes of Lysol, following the president’s comments.
Soooooo … y’know …
Donald Trump tweeted three times today about the Nobel prize, in a confusing diatribe about news reporters.
Except he is consistently misspelling it as the “Noble Prize” in every tweet. Seriously, go look.
[Update:] Somebody should set up a “Noble Prize” system for Trump’s following.
They’d be superlative awards for the most spelling errors, the most attacks on a free press, the most disinfectants ingested, etc.
They could make the little trophies out of fool’s gold.

Writing sustains me. But wouldn’t it be more accurate to say that it sustains this kind of life? Which does not, of course, mean that my life is any better when I don’t write. On the contrary, at such times it is far worse, wholly unbearable, and inevitably ends in madness. This is, of course, only on the assumption that I am a writer even when I don’t write — which is indeed the case; and a non-writing writer is, in fact, a monster courting insanity.
— Franz Kafka, in a letter to Max Brod, 1922

It’s Norwegian for “goofball.”
Or at least that’s what you tell your friend when you call her a goofball in a text but make the above typo.
