№ 883: Gilt By Association (or like Vaterland like son and grandson)

EXPLAIN AWAY (June 21) —
There is nothing for breakfast that I find finer
than pancakes made by MY Aunt Jemima.

Abraham Lincoln. Like me, a Republican.
Not many people know that.
What with his seizing citizens’ property,
I figured him for a Democrat.

Big deal, ABRAHAM! You “freed” a few “slaves”.
’Sme made Juney-teenth famous.
’Slike like we whites got too no “Negros”
by listening to Andy and Amos.

My dad, Fred Trump, “liked” die Amerikadeutscher Volksbund
because he was fond of das Vaterland.
There is, however, NO PROOF WHATSOEVER
that daddy or I joined the Ku Klucking Klan.

China's too blame for Kung Influenza
and Hussein Obama was born in Kenya.
“Rule of Law”? For losers and fools.
A strongman rules using whatever tools.

I cudda slud down that ramp at the Point,
but it wudda been SAD if I fell
on account of my shiny slippery soul
and, well, since I’m goin' t' hell . . .
hell, truth to tell, 'swhere I belong
and when I take the country along
it'll be swell. In fact, on the level . . .
made a GREAT deal with my grandpa, the devil.

№ 432: The Parties Come Together (estranged bedfellows)

Remember when Republicans said,
“Sex, except in the marital bed,
was grievously sinful and therefore forbidden
and that such sin should never be hidden.?

Remember when only Democrats thought
love and/or sex should be openly sought
provided so doing caused no pollution
and did not screw with the Constitution?

No. CL: After Whitman (a sampler)

casting aside
rose colored glasses
I contemplate
everything passes
I recognize
however galling
there is no meaning
I have no calling
I have no purpose
I have no soul
though
through circumstance
I may play a rôle
crowd scene extra
somewhere in the drama
were I a Republican
I'd blame Obama
