And the gods...

 

While the Greeks

Were lighting

Thier Olympic flame

With the usage

Of an old fashioned

Mirror

Someone seems 

To have struck

Copenhagen

A direct strike

Into their economy

The stock exchange!

Built in 1619

And now nothing 

But rubbish.

What did you do

Frederick

To elicit the anger

Of the gods?

Or was it

Sweet Mary?

Oh well,

The Olympic flame

Has been lit again

One hundred years

Has passed from 

The Paris events

1924-2024

They are at it again

Hopefully this time

There will not be another

War in Europe

Bad enough to see

Israel and Iran

At it again.

When has Persia

Not sought

To destroy those people?

Meanwhile 

On Wall street

One of the richest men

Is being forced

To show up

Everyday to hear

Testimony about his affairs

He married an older woman

Whom he was forced

To divorce 

Once he got caught

With a Mistress

Marla, Marla

Went everywhere 

Making sure that is was known

That she had stolen

The other womans man

Ivankas husband

Was hers!

Then after the wedding

And the baby

She got bored

And he went on

To be as all the other

Men of the late 

Twentieth century

It was no longer

Necessary to hide

The fact that he was

Having affairs.

The question 

Is he guilty

Of the charges?

Did he do it 

With this woman

And does it matter.

There have been 

So many affairs

In fact to reside

In DC is to assume

One is not engaged

With ones neighbor

Is ludicrous.

This is not the first

Court case.

There have been many

Just not worthy 

Of notice.

Alexander Hamiliton

And Daniel Webster

Were both caught

And neither elected.

As opposed to those

Other men who were

In fact referred 

To in female terms

Due to their homosexuality

Associations

Which were not unknown

Then there are the sad cases

Of Andrew Jacksons 

Wife Rachel

And Andrew Johnsons

Neighbor

One had a nervous 

Breakdown and died

The other committed 

Suicide

Then there was

Grover Cleveland

The only bachelor

To enter the 

White House

While Miss Halfin

Had his baby.

It was thought

He won against 

Her in court

The charges of rape

Otherwise this 

New Yorker

Would never have made

It to Pennsylvania street.

He is the one to marry

The youngest bride

Seventeen year old

Was the daughter

Of his business partner

He had to wait 

For her to come of age

And what did he do

In the meantime?

Then there was 

The Aaron Burr duel.

It all depends 

Upon the wife

What she decides

Is what the public

Has to accept.

This is traditional

Melanie?

Mary forgave 

Frederick

And he was allowed

To become King

While his brother

Who got divorced

And remarried

Is now in exile

In America

With his distitled

Children.

One never knows

Now about those 

Olympics

Eleven days 

It will take 

For the flame

To travel through

Greece

Before it will be 

Handed off to 

France

Before it finally arrives

In Paris.

Vive le Franc!

I have no hope

Of being there

With my current situation

But there was that day

When I still worked

For the media

And was asigned

A leg.

In Texas.

And it did not arrive

The flame of the olympics

On its way to Los Angeles.

There i was just waiting

And waiting....

It got misdirected

And by passed

My spot and a few others

Crying myself to sleep

My one opportunity

Gone!

So who is more

Powerful?

Zeus 

Or

Odin?

Copenhagen

Was set on fire

While Greece

Is sitting pretty 

Today

Beware

Those naysayers

One does not know

What tomorrow

Will bring

Whom do you pray?

Allah or Yahweh?
