№ 798: Conservatives Never Write Protest Songs

REAL WORLD (February 24)
Conservatives never write protest songs.
They don't waste their time
fretting over meter or metaphor.
They listen to neither reason nor rhyme.
Liberals, thinking they're ever so clever,
their heads in the cloud, sing loudly
incessantly, hoping to win hearts and minds.
Their view of reality? Well, never mind.
Liberals can't learn nor will they acknowledge
songs do not win the Electoral College.

№ 618: Liberal Incivility (or having it both ways)

HERE AND NOW AND THEN, June 16

Hypocritical liberals have been known to neglect
one aspect of knee-jerk political correctness.

When they mention the president they get a thrill
pointing to proofs he’s mentally ill.
They do not feel (at all) ill at ease
speaking of his disabilities
his movements arthritic, his brain syphilitic,
his need for treatment psychoanalytic.
(Unfair. Though true. Still, I say, too critical.)

Sarah Sanders, they smirk, dresses sloppy
while providing FAKE media hilarious copy.
Kellyanne’s cool chick look they ridicule shrilly,
insisting she's too old and looks awfully silly!
Which, I must say, is simply mean.
Though she’s 52, she looks like a teen
smartly dressed up as a Trump hotel tart.
(Except for the wrinkles, she could play the part.)

They love how Mnuchin is such a goof
and Pence’s Puritanism is easy to spoof.
And poor Wilbur Ross, who they love to scold.
If only because he’s stupid and old.
Her Highness Ivanka and Eric and DJ
on late night TV are constantly harried.
(To say nothing of Jared — unrelated
by blood, he's merely married.)

Desist, I say, all you sniveling Liberals.
Try to be nice. Try to be civil.
Turn your cheek and be meek when Donald attacks.
Do not mind him. Be kind. Do not hit back.
Whatever we do, he'll continue amiss,
while I with my quill will write rhymes like this.

№ 445: Coming Exactions?

Today's Conservatives are forever pissed,
existing on outrage and anger.
Whilst Liberals always, heads in the air,
waver betwixt hope and despair.
This gets me to thinking. . .this U.S dismemberment
is less about principles and more about temperament.
Neither side's likely to give it a rest.
They agree: Carthago delenda est.

You could choose to refuse to choose either side
and go and find an obscure place to hide
until Armageddon has come and has gone
and quote Godot: “I can't go on, I'll go on.”

№ 324: When We Disagree

My side is right.
Your side is wrong.
And I suspect you
knew that all along.

Oh sure, you cite reasons
for your “mistaken” belief,
but you know these “reasons”
are a fig leaf.

Your tortuous thinking
just makes me scoff.
Therefore, let me ask,
“Who's paying you off?”

You have to know better,
deep down inside.
Unless you are stupid. . .
or your brain's fried.

If we're being truthful
you have to agree,
all the best people
agree with me.

Now I want to be fair.
I don't want to condemn,
but I'm starting to think
you're one of THEM!

And if you're THEM,
you devil weevil,
how could I have missed all these years
you're pure evil?

No. CIII: Liberal v Conservative

The Liberal elite
is—face it!—effete.
All “care”, unaware
of need to compete.

Conservatives live
for take with no give.
They define the divine
as “mine, mineALL mine”.

No. LIV: Imp it us

Conservatives thrive on ANGER and FEAR.











Liberals subsist on HOPE and "SINCERE".













I persevere with WINE, WHISKEY and BEER.
