Poets' March On the White House

Gather round, all ye poets
   and hear my plea
For by myself, I'm just a 'wannabe'
   I need you here, together with me

Our sensitive hearts cannot bear much more
   We're weary of endless culture wars
Our Muses are facing poetic starvation
   Midst all this politicized aggravation

What I propose might seem a wee bit weird
   But you are here, you've all volunteered
Every man among us, let him show no fear -- 
   To shave off his head hair, and half of his beard

Ladies do the same, except for the beard
   That means all that lovely hair, completely sheared
Then we march on the White House, like mystical monks
   ~ Peace and Joy to the orange hair in Donald J's trunks
