Archie Bunker Loves Crackers
Crackers are white
what's not to love
Crackers are simple food
for simple minds
Archie sits in his chair
rants against liberals
races
and humanity
Some think he passed on
for every fool gone
another will appear
even from down under
Where hatred is running in high gear

Trick or Treat, "Edith get the door," yells Archie!!
"Oh Archie they are so cute come and look Please."
"Shut up Edith just give them their stupid candy, will ya?"
" I'm not dealing with Meathead, you, and these brats all night, Na"
" Edith don't give Snickers bars, they're my favs, are you crazy?"
Michael Tor
Inspired by Lin Lane
Archie Bunker was
a rude SOB he starred
in a sitcom called All
In The Family. He had
no manners and
treated his wife Edith
like she was dumb,
but Edith was smarter
than him...

On this day we reminisce,
The little boy we love and miss,
Even though you had to go,
Just know your whole family love you so,
In your sisters, brothers and parents hearts,
And ours were broken into many parts,
Your wings were ready, our hearts were not,
In a huge family of love you’re never forgot,
The day you left us was impossible to obtain,
In our hearts and minds, you’ll forever remain

Why did Archie keep running after Veronica?
Betty was the nice one.
And she was blonde.
Why was Reggie’s mouth always drawn into a sneer?
Did they want him to look cruel?
Why did they want Jughead to appear stupid?
Oddly enough, I never questioned why
Betty and Veronica were both drawn like Vargus pinup girls.
Maybe because I was used to Barbie dolls in 1959.

Archie Bunker
World War II veteran and blue-collar worker
Anticatholic, racist, sarcastic twisted sense of humor
Edith his submissive wife never anger or ranter
Edith Bunker
Naive wife about life and a chatty wonder
Archie would tell her, Would you stifle yourself, it drove him insane
Loves her husband all the same

Archie Bunker
A good ol' boy,
Opinionated and moody,
He tended to be broody.
Edith Bunker
Was Archie's wife.
With a cheerful outlook she fought his strife.
The one bright spot in Archie's life.

Archie Andrews
Lots of girls from whom to choose,
But one young lady caught his eye
For her he could be the lucky guy.
Veronica Lodge
Would never our Archie dodge
She was always his girlfriend
From the beginning to the end.

Archie the Ape
Was much maligned
This nice young fellow
Had a pink behind
The glare was amazing
So brightly it shined
Caused gawkers to stare
And totally go blind

Mr. Archie Bunker
For the good ole days did hunker
Confronted with 'ethnics' or punkers
He turned green at the gills...went bonkers

Archie had words for each situation,
he would say them without hesitation;
like my sediments meat head,
or in a pigs dye, he said;
my bus has sailed was his explanation !

Archie Bunker, blunderer;
Lived life wishing for thunder.
The praise never came;
Had himself to blame;
Archie was no, free-thinker.

There once was a man named Archie
Definitely not so starchy
Ridicule his best gift
Supremacy his lift
An upper hand controlled Archie
Bunker was his family name
Superiority his game
He put intellect down
Made Michael wear a frown
And his viewers flush with red shame
Syllables checked.

Archie Bunker
Archie Bunker's political stance,
He did NOT seem too shy to advance.
Was he funny, or crude?
Right on target, or rude?
In today's world, he'd NOT have a chance!

A cranky old man that rules his household
from his armchair. There isn't one he doesn't scold.
With jabbing comments and taunts;
feels he can say what he wants.
A shameful big mouth, hardheaded and bold.
His chauvinist views; women with boobies
were created to make meals and babies.
He still lives in the stone age
putting people in a rage.
Crazed old man, no respect for the ladies.
