Alternate Political Thoughts

Roosevelt called it “A New Deal.”

‘Twas just an IOU.

He didn’t know who’d pay for it,

But turns out that it’s you.

Emancipation proclamation?

More like “Cut the black a little slack”.

—————————————————————

Medicine prices don’t seem fair?

Let’s have some Obamacare!

Instead of paying to heal me

I pay so you get care for free!

—————————————————————

There’ve been 27 amendments,

Of which ten were automatic

In this American republic

Which is also democratic.

One was banning alcohol.

One was saying “Oops, our bad”

And that may be the greatest unity

The States have ever had.

Billionaire Dads Be Like

“Daddy, I want a spaceship”

Were the last words my son said

Before I gave him a spaceship

And sent him off to bed.

Where The Senators Cared And The Emperors Were Regularly Assassinated

All I can say about our state of affairs

Is that watching movies about Rome

Makes me think “This government’s ok,

“Or at least better than the one back home.”

Apparently He Was A Commercial Whaler

I always wonder about the scientist

Who named the sperm whale.

I imagine he was drunk

And probably male

And thought making you say “sperm”

Was a hoot and a gas

And he probably idolized the guy

Who named donkeys “ass”.

But… The Metaphors?

“This movie is great, I promise”.

Those were the words I said.

Then I remembered that one scene

Where they shot the dude in the head

And the bit with the serial killer

And the… actually, never mind.

Maybe next time we’ll watch a movie

That you happen to find.

I Miss The Good Old Days… 2015

There once was a man from Ohio

Who didn’t put pronouns in his bio.

He works hard and makes money

And he married his honey

And why can’t this be status quo?

Right?

I have a secret mission

That I need to undertake

But leaving online evidence

Is surely a mistake…

If only there were a button

That I could press to hide

My browser history… also

The hate I feel inside.

Oh wait? What is this button

With a sneaky little spy?

An incognito window?

Why, that’s just the thing that I

Did need for just this purpose!

I’m glad Google has my back.

Now pet me commence searching

For things they’d never, ever track…

If I take off my Hawaiian shirt

You may think I intend to flirt

But when the Hawaiian pants come off…

Hey, wait a sec! Did you just scoff?

Oh Wait… That’s Youtube

Instead of another reality show

Where half-naked people live in the wood

A show where people make huge pillow forts

Would do us a whole lot of good.

I’d Get Arrested In Europe For Writing This…

There once was an American leader

Whose mind was starting to peter.

He said “Easter’s the day

“Where we normalize gay”

And some people still think this ain’t theater.
