Another Burden

Both sides of the gun control debate in the US are now talking about race...sort of.

Another Burden
by Rick Lime

Into gun control Uncle Sam delves
As a bigger blight falls from his shelves
“This burden’s not fair
It seems too much to bear
 When they’re doing it all to themselves”

Homesick

Just to provide a little context, the annual Barriere Fall Fair & Rodeo is an event not to be missed :-)

Homesick

by Rick Lime

Up in camp or gone just down the coast

As I wander from pillar to post

'Tween my folks and the Fair

And the girl with red hair

It's the potholes that I miss the most

A woman was planning a flight

A woman was planning a flight

Hosts of angels, wings beating in flight

Held celestial bodies just right

Physics pulled back the curtain

But I'm still uncertain

How 'quantums' can shed any light

A fellow was planning a flight

But began with bordellos that night

In between lust and haste

The man's pants were misplaced

So they grounded the Casanovite

Before his career'd taken flight

Yogi Berra quotes all sounded trite

Much later however

They sounded more clever

Like "Errors I made can't be right"

First she gasped then she took off in flight

In the morning, when first she caught sight

Of his thing, oh so ugly

With which she had smugly

Gone humpety bump in the night

Ulysses was planning a flight

From the Siren's bay late in the night

He would face the high sea

In his bid to be free

'Cuz, his bark was much worse in their bight

A couple was planning a flight

With the mile high club in their sight

But the john was so small

That he leaned 'gainst the wall

And the door handle got a delight

A fellow was planning a flight

'Cuz the DA intends to indict

So he'll snorkel and scuba

Lay low in Aruba

And old Beach Boys lyrics recite

Dear SCOTUS

It outrageous how desperate the republicans are to disenfranchise blacks and other minorities.

Dear SCOTUS
by Rick Lime

Dare I say Judge Scalia, you dope
Though the Sovereign States pine and mope
Leave the voting rights act
Ratified and intact
And in fact, step aside, like the Pope

This related verse was inspired by one of those troll instigated facebook flame wars.

Democracy’s under attack

First they came for the poor and the black

Voter fraud’s a red herring

Scalia is wearing

The robes of a corporate hack

An Allegory

Some people are upset because the economy is broken and governments are dysfunctional. Other people spend their time intentionally disrupting the economy and subverting democracy.

Henny Penny’s completely seduced
Foxy Loxy’s in charge of the roost
And the question he begs
“Who’s been stealing the eggs?”
Penny ponders, confused and obtused
