Rhetorical Rhetoric

Our Deepest Thoughts

By Earl W. PearlPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Can there be smoke without a fire

Are teenage issues always dire

Can politicians still inspire

With costs this high can I retire

Do thugs wear pants below their knees

If friends are dogs, will you get fleas

Does Aaron Rodgers ever tease

Are bears still crappin in the trees

Does Burger King still have the beef

Did Rolaids ever spell “Relief”

What makes my tidy whities “brief”

Are Broncos fans still filled with grief

Do little brothers ever knock

Will car wrecks always make us gawk

Must unbelievers alway mock

Will Aerosmith forever rock

Is every friend you have, a friend

If I need money will you lend

Does everything we say offend

Is there a tweet Trump didn’t send

Will Vegas soon be oceanfront

Does every rifle owner hunt

Can Ashton Kutcher pull a stunt

Will Snoop Dogg ever smoke a blunt

list
