Television once was free
Ads paid for all you'd see.
Then came cable, with its fee
Pay it monthly, mounting yearly.
I admit, it was fine quality
But was it better, what we'd see?
Old reruns, documentaries:
Bunker Hill, Life of Bees.
And now it's streaming services,
Each new channel surfaces
We have to balance purchases
For our meals of bread and circuses!
Are asylum seekers trying to invade the U.S.A.?
Is it just for fun that they've come all this way?
Do they embody some nefarious Latin plan?
Or did they fear for their lives, and so just ran?
Do they feel uppity, and owed our charity?
Depend on our clinics to be efficient and free?
Are ever more risking their lives hourly
To come to this country, in hopes they'll welcome be?
Are they tattered and torn, hungry and forlorn?
Do they just want to be productive in some form?
Are they highly motivated to be our best citizens?
Then let us give them a chance, and let them in!
Very interesting and satisfying poem this morning, Owen. I needed help with the first Jumble word and found it in your poem, but the solution with that long second word just eluded me. I finally looked it up--could not have gotten it on my own, I think. The cartoon is fascinating with the long background covered with items on the walls and in the end. And the astronauts floating in the air, including her pony-tail, are very cute. Fun Sunday Jumble and sweet Owen poem.
Two lovely poems, with fine sentiments.
I haven't gotten much into streaming yet, but I see it expanding so much that soon I must. And as for immigrants, well, no politics, right? But cruelty as a policy is something I never thought to see.
The jumble themselves were not too difficult. The j4 clues came quickly and the solution was cute. Had a momentary hiccup in the fourth j6 clue, but not long. The solution wasn't quite so fast, because I got hung up on the wrong first word, and didn't want to let it go. But re-examining all the letters led to the second, long, word, which made the first one obvious. Yay! The pun was interesting.
I logged in this am to catch the 4*4 but couldn't grok' #1 Duh!?
Did the CC (easier than either J) and came back to the printed 6*6. I had all sorts of trouble with #3. Finally I got #1 on part A(I had the solution this morning).
But.. I couldn't get the Riddle-Solution on the six. So I looked for a 10 letter word on the poem, x'ed out the letters (10) and voila .
Yes, Owen, you , Picard and I have similar "politics" but in CC-land we're a minority it seems.
The more obvious this stuff is the harder it is for the other side to grasp.
IMO of course

I'll invite Picard to read today's J
