The Slate

Which Brand Name should we choose, and does it matter?

Turn on the lights and watch the roaches scatter,

such a crass and self-important crowd,

ignorant, belligerent and loud.

As from a clown car they keep streaming,

strident, raving, darkly scheming,

smug and white, convinced they're right,

they all compete to lead the fight.

Line 'em up together, take your pick.

They all add up to zero in my arithmetic.

Whichever one is picked to lead the Wrecking Crew. 

I'm with the other team, the ones they're out to screw.

Wriggle

WRIGGLE

Wriggle, wriggle, little bug

whom I discovered when I dug

an inch or two into the ground

and came upon your teeming town,

workers streaming to and fro

with guards to show them where to go.

Medic squads were on the scene

and crews to keep the hallways clean.

Your mother-queen was in her bed

giving birth while being fed;

attendants scurried 'round her side

wiping clean her swollen hide.

The royal perfumes of command

direct the work of every hand. 

The Donald

Trump's is not to be, but seem.
He has lots of selfish steam
to blow his horn
from dawn to dawn.
He floats on top but he ain't cream.

To Nebuchadnezzar, in Madison

Read the writing on the wall

Is it prelude to a fall?

France Interdit les Visages Couvert

Who is hiding behind the mask? Is it just a pious woman, or 

a fugitive from justice, a terrorist, a thief?  

What nefarious entity 

needs to hide its identity? 

Ignorance can only lead to grief.

FOXhounds

When the dogs bark, look to their owner:

The braying hounds are Rupert Murdoch's pack

versus Olbermann, the dog that barked back

(and was silenced, to MSNBC's dishonor).

Cheer for the Uterus

<http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/content/democrat-chastized-saying-uterus-house-floor>

Go, womb, go!

Let's hear it for the uterus.

It really is too hooterous

to deny the uterus.

It's useless to disputer us,

we all came from a uterus.

Even if they neuter us

they still came from a uterus.

No one has to tutor us,

we know we're from the uterus.

Look it up on the computerus.

Please don't shooter us!

Go, go uterus!

Go, womb, go!

NAMES IN THE NEWS

David Barton, Host of WallBuilders Live

He tries so hard to hide it, 

but one thing is perfectly clear:

a person so hotly obsessive

is scared to death that he's queer.

Hosni Mubarak, President of Egypt

He could still go out with honor

and show a little class,

if he'd follow Cleopatra

who kissed a little asp.
