The Bournelli Principal

This is a subtitle for your new post

The Bernoulli Principal

She was almost as old as me, 
but she was tiny as could be and was
Pushing her umbrella thought a gale.

She struggled away with determination 
but still it was a bad situation
It was plain that she was doomed to fail

I beckonedher into this nice warm bus stop, this
New York oasis where busses must stop, and I 
Showed her how to hold an umbrella in winds so strong.

I said like an old wisened weatherman swami, don’t
Don’t face your umbrella into the tsunami,
Trying to force your way through is totally wrong

If you 
Face your umbrella dead into the gale
Most of the time you are going to fail and get
Mercilessly ravaged but the wind and the rain.

Do not use your umbrella as a battering ram
As the forces of nature batter and slam, you must
Turn your umbrella into the wing of a plane.

In winds so strong an weather unruly you must
Use the principals of Bernoulli
Hold you umbrella up and make it a wing.

The wind speeding over your little umbrella
Will tend to lift up the little fella
Just hold it steady and you will not fight a thing.

As the gale rushes by in one frantic scoot
It pulls on the top of your bumbershoot
High pressure above, low pressure below.

Do what I’m saying and you will be thrilled as you
Feel the lifting start to build
Just like an airplane wing you’ll be happy to know.

Please listen to me I mean what I say
Hold your umbrella the Bernoulli way
Hold it up straight and merrily off you go.

Joe Biden Joe Biden and I have a lot in common We are both white and growing old Both of us are reasonably intelligent And I think similar values hold I think I understand Joe pretty well we Both grew up pretty much the same White and privileged and deeply middle class Time to change the game Joe from Scranton, me from Baltimore We grew up in racist climes We both have evolved and fortunately recognise The problems of our times Not afraid to expose and declassify the myth Of the wisdom of a white majority Not afraid of changes in the universe that put People like ourselves in the minority Joe Biden and I have a lot in common We are both white and growing old Both of us are reasonably intelligent And I think similar values hold

Covid-19 Covid-19 everywhere, life has truly changed Trying to act normal not so damn deranged Will we get back to normal, I seriously doubt it I’m sure you know all about it. Due to gross mismanagement we’re still in the thick of it Twenty five hundred deaths every day, everybody’s sick of it, Donald Trump and his acolytes do not seem to care About the death and chaos everywhere. Death rates rising rising in what are called red states They listen to their leader and must suffer nasty fates Don’t worry about Covid-19 it is all a hoax, Tony Fauci is the butt of all their jokes. Covid-19 rising, winter will be bleak And the death rate has not even reached its peak. Vaccines are just down the road, they can’t come fast enough. Times are very very tough.

Senator Perdue. December 3, 2020 Suddenly the senator’s on the hot seat, Lots of suspicious market trades. He swears that he did not do the trading. The truth comes in many shades. He had lots of inside information That somehow found its way to his stock trader Avarice and greed in our leaders yes indeed, So clear to even second graders. But no no no he did not do the trading But yes yes yes he had the information The truth will not be bared, the truth will not be shared. It’s a sticky situation. Insider trading is illegal Insider trading isn’t funny Insider trading is insidious It’s stealing other people’s money.
