Down With Bad Stuff - a Satire

Down With Bad Stuff By Elton Camp All things bad I firmly oppose To ban them all, I do propose This would be a finer place If evil we didn’t have to face Bigger prisons we should build With the wrongdoers to be filled Even taxes could be reduced If stricter laws were introduced Good morals we should dictate Offenders meet a most stern fate Perverted sex must be forbidden Whether it’s open or it’s hidden Those who error dare to advocate Severely fine before it’s too late Earth could become a paradise If folks were forced to act nice Who’d decide right from wrong? To me, such authority would belong Question my fitness for the position And expect a very quick disposition

Thanks. I posted this at the sites I usually use and was astonished at some to get reviling reviews from people who thought I was making an actual proposal. To remove any doubt, I went back and edited to add "Satire" to the title. As Swift learned, satire can be risky. Elton
