Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Couplet

If I Was Runnin' Things

I've given the plight of kids crossing our border thoughtful consideration.
I would like to propose a panacea that might ease this critical situation.
I recommend that pilots flying kids to the USA make a flight deviation,
And drop kids off at airports in DC while the Obamas' are on vacation!
I know they'd be delighted to share the White House food and recreation.
After all, the grounds are fenced so kids could be kept under observation.
Unload kids at the Capitol for distribution to each Congressional delegation.
I bet they'd take speedy action to secure the border as well as deportation!
I sent my idea to Washington but as yet have received no firm confirmation.
I can only assume they'll set Congressional hearings for serious evaluation.

Judy Konos September 7, 2014 at 8:18 AM There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party. It has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt until recently and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties. Gore Vidal

Robert Lindley July 15, 2014 at 10:11 PM This may be funny but it has a great deal of wisdom and truth as its foundation. A foundation not a plantation but rather a unique situation! Exasperation not infatuation would soon give that federal body cause to beg for some other explanation..lol Enjoyed your write much my friend!!!

Robert Nehls July 15, 2014 at 6:16 AM Very well done, Bob. Taking a humorous look at a very serious problem. I'm sure your idea has been met with open thoughts and arms and you may be invited to speak at the hearings that, no doubt, will take place soon. Your friend... Robert.
