'occupation' Troops

Guess I'll ne'er understand those loony loons

   Shaking their fists at the Wall Street tycoons

      The Tea Party did it right

         They didn't leave filth and blight

            'Occupiers' remind me of baboons

I admire your poetry Bob, and i know you as a "sensitive enough man" from what i've read on the soup,, (however there would not have even been an America) or the values you surely pertain to:) without dissent from the status-quo of the day,, so i must respectfully digress..! also i wish you a rather belated happy thanksgiving..always yours Joe.!

This poem reminds me of a few things...there has been NO TEA-PARTy person raped, mugged, stabbed, shot, killed, or arrested after one of their rallies. Case and point. If u want to read some comments from another poet who is an occupier go to stone soup poetry...they wrote, got locked up, and bail was already paid for by their movement. Interestingly enough, there are hundreds upon hundreds of layers of organized support. Moveon.org baby! You're the best! Gwendolen
