Hammering It Home
A man of 82 attacked,
A hammer to his head,
Is lucky, thanks to 911,
He didn’t end up dead.
Misinformation made the rounds,
A pack of nasty lies
Regarding Paul Pelosi,
But that’s sadly no surprise
For there are no boundaries anymore.
Whatever rage is felt
Will circulate, despite the fact
It hits below the belt.
So jokes and rumors sprout and spread
While in intensive care,
The Speaker’s husband lies in bed,
As we become aware
That this is now our country’s norm.
It sickens me to know
Our standards, once so lofty,
Have dropped down so very low.
