Notes About The Poem

Pull My Finger

We shouldn’t kick a horse long after it’s dead.
The election is now over, let’s just put it to bed.
We can find a new cause for which to spend time.
Swing about your pen and bring forth a new rhyme.

If you’re still praising Trump and you know who you are.
Try checking real facts and stop wishing on stars.
Whatever you choose it’s really up to you.
There’s no big conspiracy, let’s just tighten that screw.

We are not a communist nation, nor will we ever be.
The masks are simply for protection, I hope that you’ll see.
They are not trying to control us with cell phone towers.
This is all a bit ridiculous nobody has that power.

When you read a new story please us common sense.
Believe the facts and not the lies that are dispensed.
Politicians often lie and their stench will linger.
Social media isn’t any better, so stop pulling that finger.
