Ode to Republicans!
Bad Political Poetry alert & disclaimer!!

While I had fun writing this I readily admit it's artistic lacking...I am proud of the content however so I wanted to share....



Ode to Republicans

Oh! Where are your values,
of a governemnt small.
Of a constitution held true!,
and Tax cuts for all.

Long gone don't you see,
all squandered for naught.
Bill Of Rights?..Sold for trinkets,
to bandits yet caught.

Who has raped Lady Liberty,
and left her for dead?.
Not Bin Laden-a pawn,
t'was your leaders instead.

They planned it all,
in the dark of the day.
When there were questions,
that would not go away.

His Florida win,
was exposed as a lie.
And public aclaim,
it was starting to die.

So they acted on plans,
from the P.N.A.C.
And sent planes to die,
for the whole world to see.

In a ball of great flames,
Americans died.
What hurt most of all,
were the bombs set inside.

T'was Cheney and Rove,
who pulled all the strings.
They stayed deep in bunkers,
and metered the stings.

The President sat,
looking remote.
Reading a book,
T'was called "My Pet Goat".

He sat as he KNEW,
the plan had been played.
The bombs they had set,
would explode that same day.

But we were all told a lie,
and the brave sent to die.
In the sands of Iraq,
far away.


T'was all wrong,
now were told.
Bin Ladens trail cold,
Now "It's for freedom" they say.

Our jobs sold away,
the budget in shatters.
For oil far away,
Was that all that mattered?.

So remember Republicans,
It's your party to take.
You are the ones,
who can put on the brakes.

Take back your party!,
leave me to mine.
There's a VOTE in 06!,
AND IT"S A$$ KICKING TIME!!!!!

1. This is great! Thanks!
I think it is very good, I'm sending it in an email to a few people who will get a kick out of it. I'm also sending it to someone who will be insulted, LOL!

6. Just one more???
If it made the greatest page I'm SURE some "pewbican" would find this poem very annoying!
Now wouldn't that be fun?

5. Thanks!
Coming from this group I consider that high praise indeed!

It was fun to do,kinda an off-beat way of covering 9/11,that's a very tough topic to "discuss"...

If I do get into the 9/11 topic I always start with WTC7. It has far fewer variables(no planes or jet fuel) yet it dropped in a free-fall. Most laymen can grasp that as a demolition & only a demolition....
Once I viewed the video's of the collapse I started ranting.Haven't stopped since....:grr:
Luckilly I do have some fun doing it & this poem was a "fun" rant...
