I know you've heard of RINOs,
Perhaps you've heard of DINOs,
Some Christians are called CINOs,
Are those men mere MINOs.
Women become WINOs
(the irony doesn't escape me though)
Humans evolved to HINOs;
Friends are friends
I'll never call them  FINOs.
Avoid lovers who are LINOs,
And teachers who are TINOs.
Could a Jew be a JINO?

But make no mistake:
Terrorists are Terrorists,
Jihadists are Jihadists,
Haters are Haters,
War mongers are war mongers,
Liars lie.

It's We thePeople, PINOs.
I'm sure you couold add many of your own ___INOs. And the initial letter on many ___INOs can stand for so much more. We need more substance in our lives and less veneer.
When I traveled in Taiwan
I often took the train

I remember the typhoons
Relentless was the rain

Passed and prayed a Dragon temple
Daily on my way to school

The students most respectful
My sons a-swimming in the pool

Taiwan an island in the ocean
Some say the South China Sea

The Buddha and Confucius protect thepeople
Asian islands inside me.
