Proposition Eight
Everybody’s out to get
the Mormon Church today;
they’ve meddled in the politics
of those most proud & gay.
The Democrats don’t like it
and professors shake their head,
proclaiming such hypocrisy
fills them with righteous dread.
"What about polygamy!"
the critics have to prod;
"That shows any oddity
is okey-doke with God!"
The people who hate Mormons
never really change their tune.
The sun has set on their [...]
Shut Up!
It’s getting late, the party’s o’er
and yet there is that one lone bore
who cannot, will not, shall not, cease
through yawns and groans, to speak his piece.
A funny story, anecdote,
I fear there is no antidote.
He never knows to take a hint –
to shut him up we’d pay a mint!
He wags his tongue and flaps his lips
and [...]
Get Out The Vote!
Everybody ought to vote
on November Fourth,
whether they live in the South,
East or West or North.
Question is, are vote machines
on the take or not?
Will computers really know
where you put your dot?
All those early voters may
find they cast in vain
if computers flush their vote
directly down the drain.
When we place our trust in hands
made of microchips
we should not [...]
Silent Joe
Shoeless Joe played baseball.
Plumber Joe played hard to get.
Now we have got Silent Joe,
Obama’s VP pet.
His leash is pretty tightened.
His muzzle is in place.
Joe Biden can’t say anything
that’s just a tad off-base.
Everything is scripted.
There’s no more off-the-cuff.
Obama has him edited
down to a mere creampuff.
He makes old Calvin Coolidge
sound like a chatterbox;
apparently his lips are sealed,
and [...]
A Nonsense Poem
Q & A (A Nonsense Poem)
Hey Sarah Palin, what’s your plan
to help us keep our homes?
Golly gee, I just forget
to pack my brush and combs!
Oh Sarah Palin, have you got
a way out of Iraq?
Jeepers, all the hardware stores
should order more shellac!
Young Sarah Palin, what’s the deal
with John McCain’s great age?
Peachy keen, stuffed turkey is
much better [...]
Great Debate?
Sarah Palin must debate
the crafty Joseph Biden
to see which of the two of them
more ignorance is hidin’.
Old Joe, he’s got too many years
inside the cursed Beltway;
while Sunny Sarah of the North
from all the pressure melt may.
Now when it comes to Wall Street
I am sure they’ll both agree
that bankers have to rob us blind
this once in [...]
Immunity
Old George Bush, he’s up a tree
when it comes to immunity.
Our troops, that set Iraqis free
and gave them pure democracy,
sometimes go on a killing spree
with no accountability.
Prime Minister al-Malaki
with this slight fault cannot agree.
He hopes the killers won’t go free
but will be tried quite legally.
Old Bush could never stand to see
our boys locked up disgracefully.
But [...]
Change
Like the bums who mumble
at you from a too close range,
politicians are demanding
that we must have change.
Change in the economy
and change in foreign wars;
change inside the Beltway
and behind the White House doors.
Everyone’s a maverick
who shuns the party line
to bring us the Millenium
of roses and sweet wine.
McCain is no one’s patsy
and Barack is no one’s fool;
Joe [...]
Superman
John McCain has got a wife
who’s young and rich and cute.
He’s got so many houses
that he doesn’t give a hoot.
His medals are so heavy
that they strain his achin’ back.
He’s running with a woman
who will pick up any slack.
Republicans all love him
and he might be President.
But he’s too old for Superman
and ought to stay Clark Kent.
Harry Truman Had a Sign
Harry Truman had a sign
he always kept quite near.
He pointed out to everyone
‘The Buck Will Stop Right Here.’
Nowadays politicos
cannot connect the dots.
And so their motto ought to be:
‘A Penny For Your Thoughts.
