I saw on Good Morning America this morning that Nipsey Russell passed away yesterday. He was best known for his comic poems usually made up ad lib.

In honor of him, I found one of his funny poems to post. How ageless this one is! LOL

The opposite of pro is con;
That fact is clearly seen;
If progress means move forward,
Then what does Congress mean?

I think he even said this one.

"How can a war be civil?" I always liked his poems. I will really miss them.
