I wrote this after reading an extended exchange of political opinion between friends of mine. Needless to say, it became hateful and personal; not at all what friends should do to each other, espeacially ove politics.
Personal Pukey Politics By Franklin Price 11/10/2018 Personal pukey politics Which I have seen today Is detrimental to the ones Who don't care what they say Risking years of friendship To defend the party line Makes me sick to think of it Whether the party's yours or mine The dirty nasty comments From both sides of the aisle When transferred to the populous Corrupt the rank and file No contact is required To play these silly stupid games Over idiotic politics We call each other nasty names Mass media makes it possible To stir the chamber pot And spread the stink to everyone Whether we are friends or not Rise above this spreading stink Climb the hill to reach fresh air Stop this stupid bickering Value friendship if you care
