There once was a politician
who wanted a coalitian
of blue and red
They wanted him dead
Now life's like a circumcision.
So off he went to his Meemaw,
who sure wasn't born in Lima
He started to cry
Heck, she asked him why
he reminded her of an edema.
The moral of this story is that bloated words and politicians all too often are one and the same thing, and your Meemaw sure will tell you if you're full of it.

I didn't have a Meemaw but I did have a Mamaw and a Papaw. lol
ReplyDeletePoliticians are the worst.
Good one, Mary. Yes, they're narcissistic scum.
DeleteAnd after the past week of so much new evidence that you just know will be buried because some people in government are untouchable, it just makes you mad.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a pig that said that some are more equal than others.
DeleteBlue and red rarely work together in Congress today
ReplyDeleteAs true as my blue suede shoe.
DeleteBest wishes Blue!
ReplyDeleteApologies for not seeing you
Lawyers and Contractors are overtaken
Now it is the bungling politicians
On the take amassing wealth disproportionally
Leaving man on the street as poor as can be

My point exactly, Hank. For some reason people just seem to prefer to look the other way or watch Netflix. "It's so... negative." Yeah, well...
DeleteGood to hear from you, Hank, the one and only Poetry Tank.
What is a meemaw? Such a fugly sounding word indeed....
ReplyDeleteJust an affectionate term for grandma.
DeleteWe say 'baba' or 'baka' in Serbian, but I haven't got one of those. My both died some twenty years ago and never bothered much with me LOL
DeleteDamn, Dezzmeister.
DeleteMy meemaw or Amachi was what I called her, had a very Christian agenda. She was politically informed but her information came from the mainstream newspapers of that time. So you'd hear her pray for certain people and political leaders. For God "to be on their side" or for the "enemies to be banished". Hahaha. But she was on point about our local politics and politicians.
ReplyDeleteLove it when folks are on point about politicians. A couple of years ago very few people trusted politicians. Then they got terrified and were willing to give up some of their freedom to be, well, saved. Please help us!!! Don't have to remind you how that story ended. All I've know ever since I was a kid is that if the majority run to the left, I'd better run to the right. And if all politicians say it's A, it's probably B or C. Don't believe the hype.
DeleteHope you're doing fine, Jaya J.
MeeMaw will definitely put you in your place. I had a meemaw, but we were country hicks lol. Dezzy would not have survived the backwoods of Tennessee, methinks! Hi Blue!
ReplyDeleteHi Theresa! You may be right. You may be right about Dezzy too.
DeleteI'm already dreading the upcoming presidential election.
ReplyDeleteFraud is imminent.
DeletePolitics are necessary but they are downright scary at times. I had a gram who would put me in my place gently. It was my mom who correct swiftly and without mercy, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou sure made me smile, Rosey.
DeleteMeemaw knows best!
ReplyDeleteIt's... a fact! Hello Sherry. Good to hear from you again.
DeleteDid I miss your birthday 🎉 🎂🍸🍴🎈🎊🥳
