The Choice
-Disenchanted with both choices, I’m joining
millions in writing in Bert Hogg!
-Never heard of him.
-Bert presently resides in a lab at Stanford.
-He’s...a pig?
-Bingo! But one who can talk about the level
of a seven year old.
-Add another year and he could be President!
-Will be, if our polls are right.
-And two terms?
-One will be enough. He gets bored.
-We’ll get sick of the reporters interpreting every
grunt! And the guaranteed haters knocking
everything as pig-like!
-“He handled the Easter Egg Hunt like the pig he is!” First Lady Pig help out there?
-Hortensia, from Yale’s lab.
-Change the name! The real despisers will have
too much fun with that first syllable.

Horror Among Thieves
“I’ll give Libertarians another:
When Government buys it,
the price goes up! Hardly rot.
But Good Government bargains
it down! End of story understood. Not
the Thieves’ Parley we
have at present, courtesy
of the advising Parties.
And their consenting,
and directing, Billionaires.”

Many a great story has been over-verified
Opposition Research
-The guy went to Church and just about stayed.
Must have bunk in the back.
-No women? Or men?
-Nor gambling or shady shit. No nothing!
Oh wait...!
-With relish!
-Ping Pong once where they bet a Pepsi!
-Oh well, everyone here wants to write a novel anyway.
Just compose...nice juicy story starring that pipsqueak!
Whores and graft, with a queer tossed in for fun.
-Make it up? We can‘t do...!
-Thank you, Jerry. Send in Laurette.

Dopes and Crabapples
Another automatic law
clicks in. Sequester.
Parties can't confer
to do it sensibly.
There seems to be
principles. Uh huh?
There’s also Statecraft.
Your trade. What you
were elected for. Not
the applause of
ideological jerkoffs.
Only remedy, citizens
chosen by lot to govern.
“Oh God, we'll end up with
dopes and crabapples!”
Like, now is better?

Presently in Bad Odor, Compromise
When was it not? A-
dults came forth and
soothed the hotheads.
Then all sat as enemies
to work something out.
Even the Great Khan bent,
but not, it seems, a true
druggist from Terra Haute.
Legislators tearing each
other limb from limb'd
prove his practiced stance.
Expanding that to war...
so long as he's not
doing the dying.
Eventually spending
your children’s blood
for glittering cause
and its vile money.
