A former N.Y.P.D. detective in shock
Was accused, but the case quickly dropped
The prosecutor failed to impart
Info to keep the man in the dock
It made the judge mad and she did balk
Called the delay of evidence "outrageous"

Isolation
Void of visitors, no end
Cold, hard, injustice
Kremlin's hatred won't relent
Despair

Russia is amassing an army strong
Charging at Ukrainians without a care
To quell their uprising,
They have no excusing
This is war that can't be repaired

Tom Brady's reign has been one of the best
For twenty years, he's done nothing less
But time is fleeting, and he must part
Young QBs with fire in their heart
Will pick up the mantle, continue the fight
From Brady the torch is passed with delight
So farewell Tom Brady, we bid thee adieu

Tom Brady, the mighty,
Always inspiring and quite flighty,
Throughout 23 seasons
He's faced all kinds of questions
From Super Bowls to crypto--brilliantly!

Oh Tom Brady, great king of the field
The future of football you'll forever yield
Your success and greatness a story to tell
Your retirement, our tribute we now must yield

Let us sing praises to Governor Hochul
For her remarkable plan and control
To help out New York City
And its urgent crisis needs
And a multiyear plan to console

Warfare
Against investors
Home seized after tax debt
Eve's loss in flames

Gone are the days of easy credit
When the Fed decides to up its rate
Debtors, beware, of what you’re given
Your bills may not be quite so great

The savers know their money is secure
Higher rates promise a better fate
It's a sign of stability, if we can endure
The rising cost of our economic state

Job
Upliftment,
Despite Fed's attempts to cool;
Freedom found in the market,
Cheerful moods all around.

Oh Inflation, why must we fear thee?
Your rates often bring worry and strife
But in Eurozone's case
You've reduced quite a pace
Bringing us all a spot of reprieve
