Yesterday the U.S. Mint made it’s last one-cent penny.
And now, for poetic replacements, there just aren’t any.
“A penny for your thoughts”
Was about all a penny bought,
But for sure, “nickels from heaven” will not be used by many.
Maybe it’s just another sign of Donald Trump’s increasing senility,
But he refuses to believe his policies are creating economic difficulty.
Of course, he’s never bought gas or groceries in his life,
And he hasn’t a clue about Americans’ economic strife.
All he knows is, he doesn’t want his aides to talk to him about “affordability.”
For 40 days and 40 nights, it looked like democracy might be saved.
The Democrats were united while the Republicans just looked depraved.
But faced with the GOP’s lust for cruelty,
Out the window went party fealty,
And without a concession or compromise, eight cowardly Democrats caved.
Some people think of Kentuckians as uninformed, uneducated hicks,
But they want to exercise their right to vote, even in the sticks.
Kentucky’s secretary of state went to work,
Saying they couldn’t vote for mayor of New York,
But assured that Kentucky’s polls would open again for elections — in 2026.
Keystone Kash Patel’s jet-setting at our expense has got to end,
His frivolous flights are an abuse of power he can’t defend.
And it was a predictable disaster,
You’d expect from a second-rate podcaster,
Though we were surprised and amused to learn Kash has a girlfriend.
China used to buy half our soybeans to make stuff like tofu,
But Trump’s tariffs ended that, now what’s a soybean farmer to do?
Ask millionaire Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent,
Who owns $25 million in soybean land for rent,
He told ABC News: “I’m actually a soybean farmer. So, I have felt this pain, too.”
