Dimestore Shoes Poet Political Verse

I, Republican

I am a republican, i speak with utter certainty
I believe in my own facts, the press is my enemy
I support global warfare, paying for them warily
I support oil revenues, with climate killing clarity
I support big tax cuts, with debtful hilarity                        
I support seniors, paying for them bareily   
I support guns, with mass shooting regularity
I support walls, preventing laborer familiarity
I lie with impunity, truth an unfamiliarity
I am evangelical, i lie with cool piety
I believe in family values, of a corporate variety 
I rally your sympathies, with solicitous demagoguery 
I believe in my health care, yours with insincerity
I believe in my future, yours very narrowly...

Chris Green November 5, 2018 at 8:34 AM What's funny is, 15-20 years ago you could have titled this I, Democrat and all of your lines would have been factual as well. Dimestore Shoes November 5, 2018 at 11:37 PM Your probably right, but on the eve of the election it seemed a good political screed was in order! Thanks for reading and commenting, Chris. Like you, I have a fondness for rhyme and wordplay..
