Hard Time With Statistics
Hard Time With Statistics
People had hard time believing latest statistics
Made by morons who must be marvelous mystics
All of the relationships with everything is inverted
What is disturbing is distorted and perverted.
Some whose census was taken were way over 65
And was said they had new born babies still alive
Here is one that aroused me and my curiosity grew
Was a family full of girls that totaled twenty-two.
What we also heard when money people were saving
Children who they had were always mis-behaving
When people went on various voyages on a vacation
Husband could't stand it and was found on sedation.
There are those mean men who are fully grown
Whose wives quickly forced them to live all alone
Because of all the totally bad things they had done
When their census was taken lived in a family of one.
Another thing had attracted me as well as allured
Up most of the strange statistics had been doctored
They were also asked a question about majority rule
And they were found to be a fool bearing a loose tool.
Now here is when I really would get extremely excited
They wanted me to be a census taker and I was invited
And luckily I discovered you strictly had to be a man
When they said I had to be a Republican away I ran.
If you can't laugh at all at least you can smile a little.

And guess what? This is my first poem exceeding 2,000
which is quite an accomplishment if I don't say so myself.
