Little Sammy Humperdink

Little Sammy Humperdink
He had a brain but could not think
He had no plans, he had no dreams
He had no imagination it seems
He did not work, he earned no pay
He drew a paycheck anyway
He had no dog, he owned no cats
His sole companions were the rats
He wore no hat, he paid no dues
He had no voice to sing the blues
He became a socialist I think
Poor Sammy Humperdink!

                            Timothy I. Brumley

oh boy there you go again making fun of good people hahaha. not all Democrats are like THIS. I even have cats!!! My dog is long gone, the one that I wrote about. I wanted to tell you that I greatly appreciated your words on that poem. I agree wholeheartedly with what you said about Dogs and God. As for this poem. It's really cute. I would just change Democrat to radical Republican (I am Independent btw, I claim no membership in either one of those lame parties but I do lean to the left.)

Is there really a difference between Repubs and Democr's? I think that maybe all that power goes to their heads and gets them skewed so that reality is not what they believe in or deal with. Anyway, this tends to be cute but the deeper message isn't so I say you delivered!
