The Bill of Rights
Does the U.S. Constitution speak of marriage at all
Does it restrict giving birth to the Spring or the Fall…
The Bill of Rights reserves many matters to the states
When federal courts interfere, what a mess they create

For Life's Sake
I appreciate
The patriotic voices
It does my heart good
I truly believe
In what makes this country great
But I would say this:
The Constitution
And Bill of Rights created
To ensure freedom
Against tyranny
And to stop invaders from
Attacking our homes
We have the right to
Should pack a gun...
Having the right to
Be free goes hand in hand with
The right to feel safe
If we continue
To

Some have been created with more
while some have been created with less
Some are rewarded in life while some are barred from success,
We hold these truths to be self evident that all lives matter although some matter less.
We are all entitled

Bill of Rights
Words of power, words of might
This is called our Bill of Rights
Religion, assembly, petition, press and speech
To never take away these rights Amendment 1 does teach
A well regulated militia, right to keep and bear our arms

under our president's authority.

Bill of Rights For Husbands
That’s not my elephant, this here’s Ella my wife
She claims the extra pounds came with her change of life
She now takes ballet, but watching her dance in tights
Sends chills down my spine and gives second graders frights
Her plate’s piled high with lasagna and spaghetti
Chowing down on our drive to the Serengeti
I think every husband should

The Bill of Rights, Part Ii
No illegal search and seizure
Says amendment Number Four
Probable cause necessary
Before we break down your door.
The warrant spells out what they search,
Describing things they will seize.
So hide them where you know they won’t
Go to the judge, and say, “Please.”
Number Five’s an uncommon gem
It says we won’t take your life
Without due process of the law,
Or by talking

The Bill of Rights, Part I
The Bill of Rights was ratified
by citizens in these states,
But, see, now there is a problem
Today, it’s the world we face.
There are ten things Gov. cannot do,
They are spelled out for everyone.
For now, these rights are set in stone.
Let’s review them, one by one.
The right to worship where you dare
is the Number One protection.
Arab, Jew
