Merry Christmas to one and all
Santa slipped and had a big fall
He said with a grin
I spilled all my gin
Now on to the grain alcohol

The ruling party's eternal line: Warriors brightly shine,
Their battlefield triumphs necessarily fine.
Yet crown them as statesmen, heroics diminish,
Often resulting in ignominious finishes.
Caesar defeated Pompey, returning home to cheers,
Ambition rent them on 'kind Brutus' dagger of tears.
George Washington led America in battle victorious,
Before fathering scores of slave-offspring inglorious.
Andrew Jackson cut down Indian raiders -- so daring and risky,
Fueled by his addiction to grain alcohol whiskey.
Up San Juan Hill Teddy Roosevelt's Horsemen did charge,
As roughly as into the White House he later did barge.
***************
And now that military heroes no longer become Presidents--
Only foibles and flaws distinguish current Oval Office residents.

Vodka
That is what they drink
never water
on no account will a Commie ever drink water
and not without good reason
water that's what I'm getting at
water is the source of all life
seven tenths of this Earth's surface is water
why do you realize that 70 percent of you is water
as human beings you and I
need fresh pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids.
are you beginning to understand
That’s why I drink only distilled water
rainwater
or pure-grain alcohol
Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation
do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived
the most and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face

a little light in the eye searches for the illusion.
grain alcohol filled apparitions stumble through the cornea
seeking asylum from the light of day.
no chance to forget now your birthplace a moment ago.
thin thin gravity round your head...
a little darkness in a pair of sunglasses
blinds the eye...... tints the bent hew.
indiscrepant frames pass and wander away
before the color can be deciphered.
