Tea Party

The Tea Party

I guess they took their name
From those rebels long ago
And they have a lot in common
As my preceding verse will show

The originals were a bunch of rich slave owners
Who were opposed to ever being taxed
They wished to keep the “Status Quo”
From ever being relaxed

If the poor would ever get educated
Chaos would surely prevail
They might even gain some power
And all that it entails

Oppression is the answer
To protect the very elite
Forbid the very thought of
Giving power, to the man in the street

They would hate to see a change
That might help the working class
They’re safely on that ”Republican Elephant”
Instead of a lowly “Democratic Jackass”

Dr. Margret Flowers

Last Wednesday night
On my color T V
I saw President Obama
Make a passionate plea

He was there in his
State of the Union address
Talking about health care
To our esteemed Congress

He stated right there
To every woman and man
To come on forward
If they had a better plan

So the very next day
Knocking on Barack’s front door
Was this lady doctor
From the city of Baltimore

Fighting for a cause
The Single Payer Plan
The Health Care answer
For our troubled land

She’s been arrested
And thrown in jail
Trying to be heard
Why our congress did fail

She’s a devoted doctor
This Maryland physician
Trying to change our
Leader’s healthcare position

So please Mr. President
Will you give her, a listen
To this devoted lady
A very caring pediatrician

You asked for someone
To help solve the problem
And here comes Dr. Flowers
The answers, maybe she’s got em!

I’m sure this is really
Like “Hope” and like “Change”
The very same words
On which you campaigned

Let's Try This!!!!!

Congressional Wardrobe

Robin Williams came up with a fantastic plan
For all the legislators of our cherished land

He wants them to dress like the Nascar Drivers
With different patches of their lobbyist providers

Just like the racers who tell us of their incoming cash
The Congressmen would be exposing their funding stash

So now when they abstain or vote against a bill
We’d be more informed of why their voice is still

And now after the Supreme Court’s most recent decision
The corporations donations will be on public exhibition

And another thing of which I’m very concerned
Of our nation’s healthcare bill and where it has turned

If Congress can’t decide what the people need
Looking at their health plan will bring us up to speed

They seem to have no problem with their own plan
So let’s give that a try for the people of our land

And I’m sure that’s something, that we can all agree
If it’s good enough for Congress, it’s good enough for you and me

Haiti

Haiti

Now that we have all witnessed
What Mother Nature’s wrath has shown
Those terrifying images of
The trembling earth, the crumbling stone

All of these people in peril
With incredible devastation
That has once again has
Targeted this nation

Their buildings have collapsed
Their lives were shattered
And now we must show them
What now really matters

So many poor victims
Too many to comprehend
That needs all the help
That we can send

So send them ten dollars
Send them twenty
For their needs
Are so many

Liberal or Conservative

I opened up the dictionary
To see liberal and I did find
“One who’s open to change”
“And Keeps an open mind”

As I read farther
Exposing some of the clues
“Favoring reform or progress”
“And tolerant of other’s views”

As I read even farther
The explanation just went
“A person advocating freedom
For individuals by our government”


Then for conservative
The same question I did ask
“One who’s afraid of change”
And wants’ to live in the past”

Terrorist’s Bombers

The first bomber they caught
Had a bomb in his shoe
So now this still affects
People like me and you

When go to the airport
Before you get to your seat
You have to walk around
In your stocking or bare feet

The latest crazy they caught
At another big airport
Had a bomb quite concealed
And hidden in his shorts

Like all suicide bombers
He had a religious plan
To die for their cause
And go to the Muslim Holy land

But considering where
His bomb was situated
There would have been
72 virgins completely frustrated

Now Homeland security says
You frequent flyers beware
When you get to the airport
You must take off your underwear

Which Party?

I realize that we have separation
Of our church and our state
But the “Right” is always bringing
God and religion into the debate

They are always stating
That God is on their side
I would like to offer an example
And let you the reader decide

Have you ever wondered
If Jesus were still around
In which political party
Where would he be found

For when it came to the two parties
Which one would he choose
Maybe the one that shared
His teachings and his views

Would he seek compassion?
Instead of corporate greed
Would he be the one to help
To concentrate on those in need
