Animals

It was a party of fleas who dropped some tea into the sea Created a baby that lifted its mommy Now there is an elephant and donkey in the room So, might asked who’s the bigger ***? A spark, a flare, lighting a camel, an affair Puff of smoke gone, what went wrong? Bully the pulpit, who’s the culprit Line drawn and divided by two A state of iron bars but let’s call it a zoo Divided into a system of them vs you Don’t lose your autonomy Though everyone is still just a monkey Collectively a swarm of angry bee’s The brilliants of hatred and judgment The embellishment establishment pageant Yesteryears of days past are todays fears Financiers, volunteers as November nears Comparisons, divisions of wealth’s occupations Frictions, contradictions, comedians Who will be the next king of the jungle? Both proclaiming to be the blissful angel Tis the mating seasons bestial battle Birdies tweets all about it on the their social Scandal! Scoundrel! Oh, look there’s a squirrel The eternal feral quarrel circle The apex creatures are very territorial For the king or queen, gerrymandering The two-party system is the grand pyramid scheme Bunch of ***holes looking up and bunch of **** looking down Kiss up, gallop, gossip, stirrup, who will win the crown? In this cage, enrage, what’s on the front page? Who’s saying what about minimum wage? Outrage about an issue? The cockatoos will throw a horseshoe Here, eat this grass, here, pray at mass, or don’t They will provide an antidote Cheer, this one is such a deer, so sincere, so clear Ok, the political evolution will find a way to prey on the economic roadway Confusing rat race values, turn to the news and find out who will lose Here, oats for the goats. No, the grass is greener over there But be aware because there is a monster troll lair Despair not of this nightmare, the election will swear to another road The only condition for this prince is you must kiss this toad Bam, the payload full of taxes and other critter’s pensions Hurry up and cooked this eagle thanksgiving is awaiting Tis the season for the hating, frustrating, debating, Won, the elephants and donkeys parties are one hell of celebration After-all in this zoo, the keepers and guests are laughing at you Updated 5/14/2019
