I’m an insomniac. When I can’t sleep, I go on-line and read the news. But the more I read, the harder it is to sleep. I finally come to the realization that China is to blame, and I have written a little ditty to demonstrate the reasons why:

Why can’t I sleep a wink? Blame China.
Why do I need a drink? Blame China.
Why can’t I pay rent? Blame China.
Why can’t I get a grant? Blame China.
My papa hates my mama; blame China.
My mama hates my papa; blame China.
My brother hates my guts; blame China.
I don’t know WTF; blame China.
Why am I watching Fox? Blame China.
Why do I watch Maddow? Blame China.
Why is Biden just like Trump? Blame China.
Why are donkeys like elephants? Blame China.
Freedom of choice gets us asses; blame China
Freedom of voice gets us liars; blame China
Freedom of war gets us burned to ashes; blame China
Freedom of guns turns brothers against brothers; blame China
Why can’t we sanction all Chinese? Blame China.
Why can’t we sanction all dog fleas? Blame China.
Why can’t I have peace? Blame China.
Why can’t I eat cheese? Blame China.
Now finally I can sleep, because I can blame China.
