The High-Minded Couple
Rest of us, crudest
jokes drinking, vile
double-entendres, too,
hungover. Add hysterical
laughter traveling behind
accidental cracks whilst high.
Our HMC, though: Spinoza
or some such tangled egghead dude.
Thence Christ for revered simplicity.
Larry Lank sneered “Wouldn’t say ‘shit’
if they hadda mouthful!”
Well, we’ve all matured now, fully,
customarily would approach their
level of spotlessness, but they’ve
spurted ahead in the Doctrine.
Birthers, with no end of plots thereby.
Other conspiracies cavort madly
in the looser wings to test them.
They are, moreover, beset horribly
with Mencken's dread involving an
earlier American “Puritanism:
The haunting fear that someone,
somewhere, may be happy.”
