LABELS

That's right, there are no leftists here
they've left to make things right
but first they drank up all the beer
and all the wine in sight

The right wingers all fell from the sky
at least the few still left
they fell with a joyful cry
their perfect smiles all cleft

Progressive, they all shifted gears
and went into reverse
while ridiculing brave men's fears
in long speeches which were terse

Which left the Luddites breaking ground
with new technology
making them laugh each time they frowned
in perfect synchronousity

The socialist sits all alone
he shuns all company
all he does is piss and moan
about his lost destiny

the anarchists all formed a club
in a quest for forming order
they all agreed that the real rub
is forming a country with no border

Of course the communists agree
they're better than the rest
you'd think the only truth they see
is found by beating their scrawny chests

i guess that leaves just you and me
to remain unlabeled
for now I'll gladly agree
to leave that motion tabled

Just some nonsense

Most who do drink it to get a buzz. No matter how many times I preview a write, I still manage to see what I mean instead of what is there . thanks for the heads up and time to read and comment................scribbler

Roscoe Llane,

Religion will rip your faith off, and return
for the mask of disbelief that's left.
