Poetic stylings of Sully

The Internet

It's here, it's there, it's everywhere,

It’s ads for beer, and underwear,

For words that slime, and hasty rhyme;

A manic place, this cyberspace,

Where chaos rules, and abusive fools,

Share fleeting pages, with gentle sages.

The Internet, is lusty sweat,

Heated chat, and granny’s cat.

It's the latest news, and words that bruise,

It's thoughts that heal, and sex appeal,

Sights of yonder, and things to ponder.

It's manic raves, and keyboard slaves,

It's a fleeting wonder, and floods down under.

What it ain't, is for the faint,

Unless they need, a healthcare feed,

Or for those who rule, and hate a tool,

That puts free speech, in people's reach,

And enables groups, away from troops.

Hours later, the vote in the House was 348-77 […]

Miss Universegate September 29, 2016
So it sounds like Trump was rude, bullying and tacky to the former Miss Universe about her need to lose weight. That doesn’t shock me and I doubt it shocks anybody else. So could he have been nicer about it? Absolutely. But this notion that a beauty pageant winner’s physical appearance isn’t relevant to the organization just strikes me as bizarre. Alicia Mac […]

Shimon Peres: Some More September 29, 2016
You are perhaps Peres’d out. Many of us scribblers have been linking to our pieces about Shimon Peres, and recounting our experiences with him. I have done the same, in a brief column. Terribly interesting guy. I learned that. For a time, I took him for a typical socialist dove — ho-hum. That wasn’t true. I am a Beginite, and a Sharon-nik, but I am glad for […]
