Wrestling Rowdy Ronda Rousey

I have already voted.  Changes the whole dynamic.  Florida is a “battleground” state.  Awoke to hear a half-dozen Trump supporters interviewed.  Who do you think is going to win, one is asked.  “Hillary.”  Why?  “Because half of America is clueless.”  In a country divided in two, seems a common opinion. – JDW

Somebody asked me

“Could you last longer than fourteen seconds

with Rowdy Ronda Rousey?”

Being an old guy devoted to survival.

First thought: How big is the ring?

The old man liked to get up in time

to hear Charlie Rose say,

“Your world in ninety seconds.”

That’ll start your day off.

He could swear

it was the same chubby white woman in a house dress

whose same trailer got destroyed twice a week.

Segue to something more important

than climate change and the world economy,

you know, sex.

Suddenly, they want to talk about the other guy.

Hell, let me point you

little recalled  important clue,

call it a hundred-year trend, like a flood

– SEX SELLS.

He confessed on tape and there are witnesses.

Bragged about it.

Sometimes the old man felt like a besieged civilian in Aleppo.

That’s a city in Syria, by the way.

The old man just wanted to live out his whatever longer in peace.

Knew he couldn’t fight progress.

Only a geezer expects music on MTV

or something surprising on the Discovery channel.

Television is rigged.
