Democrat Republican Why Can'T We All Just Get Along

You say that you're a Democrat
There must be something wrong with that
Have you done gone and lost your mind

You say that you're Republican
Fat and angry twice as dumb
Ain't that what all Republican's are like

Why can't we all just get along
Holding hands singing Kumbaya
Ain't that what it is Americans do

Instead of arguing all the time
Over who is wrong and who is right
Telling each other to go get screwed

I think we all just need to see
Who's our friend and who's our enemy 
Instead of fighting amongst ourselves

If we all would take the time
I'll kiss your rear if you kiss mine
We'd have that part settled if nothing else

Still Democrat, believe you need
To get yourself a lobotomy
Then you would at least have half a brain

And Republican get yourself a heart
Then perhaps you might just start
To be somewhat loving and semi-kind


All in jest...
Who needs a hug?

Exactly the kind of political poetry I like to read - the message is strong - why can't we all just get along?!!

I guess the straw man was a Democrat and the tin man a Republican from the Wizard of Oz! Good point in your political poem Mike! Kumbaya!:)
