Archie Bunker's Rants
Yesterday, we sat and watched
A sitcom on TV
From early in the 70’s,
But what was strange to me
Was hearing Archie Bunker’s rants
About the U.S.A.
And things that he was saying
Echoed words I hear today.
He argued with his son-in-law
About the government,
Defending Richard Nixon
To his daughter’s discontent.
That show reflects some current themes
But somehow in the past,
It made us laugh; those same thoughts
Uttered now leave us aghast.
