There Once Was a....


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.

  2. And 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.

  4. Best wishes Blue!
    Apologies 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

    1. 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...

      Good to hear from you, Hank, the one and only Poetry Tank.

  6. My 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.

    1. Love 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.

      Hope you're doing fine, Jaya J.

  9. Politics 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.
