The History of Such Things


Lifting it from the realm of bullshit and religion, Republicans
finally built their SHINING CITY ON THE HILL! 

Financed by senior citizens whose Social Security and private
and public pensions were cut in half. And 401Ks expropriated.

They, in turn, formed a very slow-moving army brandishing WW2
carbines, which finally got to Washington.

Where General Honsaart attacked them at various deep-discount
Marriotts at an hour when all in the bathroom. Images of those
lasered on thrones in morning light went quickly viral.

The Shining City was completed, and great ceremonies followed.
Oratory embraced Freedom and the Private Sector and the
Marketplace-Sacrosanct.

When the last National Anthem faded completely–-and sung
conventionally, not in some bebop–-the entire city fell down
all at once. And slid. Enormous pile of various sheens filled
the valley. And acrid smoke.

The Congressional Investigating Committee finally settled
on the word Larceny, which the nation understood.

John Dillinger taken off the ten-dollar bill–-in case you think
that committees accomplish nothing.

Well, Democrats swept back in, White House to Dogcatcher.
Seniors were restored, though an inflation left them about
where they were.

And the onerous 15C Form which heretofore every citizen
had to fill out, was eliminated in favor of an anus probe
which revealed the same information.

But before you scream about being violated, only one
person had to undergo it. Jack L. G. Wantzler of Paramus,
New Jersey stood in of the rest of us. Interlocking
interweaving algorithms then projected the information
for the whole country.

Thus, appearing at ballgames, the New American Hero for
the “New American Century!”–-the latter the Republicans
had been too busy stealing to really create.

Things went stodgily and bureaucratically from thence on,
but it was still America, and citizens were advised to
stay near walls if they ventured out on twilight walks,
especially females.
