Don't Bury Courtesy On the Political Prairie -Based on Western Ballad

Oh don’t bury courtesy 
on the political Prairie. 

Where politicians rant
And tell words I can’t; 

Say in a crowd 
or even whisper out loud. 

Oh bury courtesy not on the political Prairie. 

Where the politicians howl
and untruths flow free.

Oh bury courtesy not!

These words came loud and pleading 
from many citizenry. 

But they took no heed
those politicians breed; 

And they buried courtesy,
on the political Prairie.
