Eight Is Not Enough

Eight Is Not Enough

 

 

Eight years is not enough

We need another Texan

To finish the job.

 

So close to another war

So close to bankrupting the country

So close to destroying the unions.

What this country needs

Is a good tax cut for the rich.

 

Vote for the Texas televangelist

And vote for God.

 

 

Pardon Me!

 

 

 

Ah … Scooter, the Scootster, Scooty

The office prankster

One of the good ole’ boys

Friend of Dick, loyal soldier

Willing to take the truth

To his grave.

 

I beg your …

I never promised you a pardon

But W gave the best he could.

Slick, that W, so slick

Saved the Scooter from jail

Where no Yalie belongs.

Put one over on all of us

But that taste, that smell

It’s everywhere

And we can’ get it out of our mouths.

Oxymoron

 

 

Famous poet.

Military intelligence.

President Rick Perry.

Compassionate conservative.

 

How To Succeed

 

I once worked with this guy

Baby faced, fat

Around the middle,

Never really worked

A day in his life

And didn’t know a

Thing about

What he was doing, but

He could talk

And he had friends

So despite his screw ups

He climbed the

Corporate ladder

Reaching the upper rung

Where he could kick

Everyone below.

Sort of like

W. Bush, but

Not as dumb.

 

 

 

A Little Reminder

 

 

In the small woods in my subdivision

The builders forgot to flatten

The trees are filled

With lawn chairs,

Plastic tables

And other suburban accessories

Katrina took from our back yards

And left like ornaments

In the southern pine and Mississippi magnolia.

Just a little reminder

What we take from nature

Nature can take back in spades.

 

Ashcroft Covers The Breasts Of The Spirit Of Justice

Ashcroft Covers The Breasts Of The Spirit Of Justice

 

 

Justice may be blind

But just to be sure

Big John covered the breasts

Of The Spirit of Justice.

 

Who knowS what

Seeing those luscious stone

Tits would do

To the minds of his

Obsequious lawyers.

 

Better to keep their minds occupied

With Morning Prayer meetings

And ways to arrest people

Without evidence

And torture them

Without conscience.

 

Reagan’s Funeral

 

 

 

Pomp and circumstance

Heartfelt tears

Glowing accolades

Clichés upon clichés

What a great man, leader, husband, father

Etc., etc.

 

They seem to have

Left out the part

About the woman

With schizophrenia

Thrown out of the mental hospital

Into the streets

So the man with everything

Could have one thing more.
