Down With Bad Stuff - a Satire

Down With Bad Stuff

By Elton Camp

All things bad I firmly oppose
To ban them all, I do propose

This would be a finer place
If evil we didn’t have to face

Bigger prisons we should build
With the wrongdoers to be filled

Even taxes could be reduced
If stricter laws were introduced

Good morals we should dictate
Offenders meet a most stern fate

Perverted sex must be forbidden
Whether it’s open or it’s hidden

Those who error dare to advocate
Severely fine before it’s too late

Earth could become a paradise
If folks were forced to act nice

Who’d decide right from wrong?
To me, such authority would belong

Question my fitness for the position
And expect a very quick disposition

I posted this at the sites I usually use and was astonished at some to get reviling reviews from people who thought I was making an actual proposal. To remove any doubt, I went back and edited to add "Satire" to the title. As Swift learned, satire can be risky. Elton
