The State of the Onion

The puppet pranced The strings frayed A jackass brayed As poppin’ hoppys Sat and rose In ballet dance Of well browned nose Applause and “clapture” of Stockholm rapture A mocking strut Of failing stature Overseers jaundiced eyes Pundits seeking pulitz prize Dissect the metaphoric frog Wash it down with pints of grog Amidst the spin of liars din They shout pick me let’s ride again Update quickly twitter feeds Sating lustful twitter needs Condense a two hour monologue Into a twenty-five word blog Check the facts, don’t be a chump It’s just another “word soup” dump John G.
