morning glories sound
trumpets announcing dawn
ready to march
a restless brass band
all decked out in blue
God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Her Garden Path
(Song of Songs 4:16)
Her legs pull me deep
Along her slippery
Garden path.
Long after our visit,
Her perfume lingers.
Her legs pull me deep
Along her slippery
Garden path.
Long after our visit,
Her perfume lingers.

Jesus Loves Me, Christian Right Version
Jesus loves me, this I know,
But He don't love those other guys.
He gives me lots of dough
And pokes Lib'rals in the eyes.
Jesus loves me, yes I'm sure.
And He hates those I hate too -
Like gays, blacks, and the poor.
If you don't agree, He hates you.
But He don't love those other guys.
He gives me lots of dough
And pokes Lib'rals in the eyes.
Jesus loves me, yes I'm sure.
And He hates those I hate too -
Like gays, blacks, and the poor.
If you don't agree, He hates you.
Jesus Wept
A poor child died as Christians slept
Their conscious devoid of shame.
Jesus lowered His head and wept
For all that's done in His name.
Their conscious devoid of shame.
Jesus lowered His head and wept
For all that's done in His name.
Proverb Redux
It's been said that to save a life
Is to save all of mankind.
Even better is to avoid all strife
And keep Tea Partiers confined.
Is to save all of mankind.
Even better is to avoid all strife
And keep Tea Partiers confined.
Ode to Ronald Ray Gun
Eating from dumpsters, you just might
Think the homeless have such fun.
Sleeping in boxes every night
All because of Ronald Ray Gun.
Think the homeless have such fun.
Sleeping in boxes every night
All because of Ronald Ray Gun.
Obama Should Know His Place
'Tis not the color of his skin
Nor that his hair is nappy
That has them so unhappy.
They say it's none of that,
But any Black Democrat
Should know not to win.
Nor that his hair is nappy
That has them so unhappy.
They say it's none of that,
But any Black Democrat
Should know not to win.
Republican Tea, A Recipe
When you've been violated,
Republicans know just what to do:
Make lemons into lemonade and
Add the baby to the brew.
Add a bit of callous,
Mix it with your tea,
And share your drink with
Someone from the G.O.P.

Conservatives Are Merry Old Nuts
Conservatives are merry old nuts,
Merry old nuts are they,
But mostly we just kick their butts
And send them on their way.
I once had a Conservative say to me,
"It's all about the Constitution."
I said, "I'll give you that, but see,
Can't we use it to find a solution?"
He said, "Keep the markets free,
And our corporations happy."
I said, "Sure, as long as the
Workers aren't treated so crappy."
He said, "It's immigration
Ruining our great country."
I said, "What's ruining this nation
Is Conservatives are too dang flaky."

Old George Bush
Old George Bush really had no care
Took vacations like a merry so-and-so
Guilty, innocent, had no prayer -
Plenty of room in Guantanamo.
Sat in comfort on his jet
And watched as New Orleans drowned.
Put us in tremendous debt
As he ran our country to the ground.

Two Gardens
My neighbor plants vegetables -
Doesn't see the sense
In planting something
She can't eat.
I plant impatiens,
Roses, Morning Glories and such -
Everything for its color
But nothing to eat.
She grows tomatoes,
Cucumbers, peppers and such -
Everything for a salad
Which she loves to eat.
"How beautiful your Marigolds,
Lilies, and vines," She exclaims,
"Care for a salad?
We can look while we eat."
