Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene -- from Georgia
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene
would love to rip out your spleen
if Trump’s not the center of your world.
Her radical convictions she has loudly unfurled.
That she’s antisemitic is true
and, it seems, white supremacist too.
She has praises for Putin.
For some murders, she’s rootin’.
Certain Democrats make up this queue.
She speaks of family values

Thank You Aunt Marjorie
I had an Aunt Marjorie who took special care.
She always made sure to give all of us something wonderful.
My name is spelled different than other Karens’ names.
My mother spelled my Caren with a C.
So I could never get anything personalized.
When I was eleven Aunt Marjorie special ordered a pendant.
In script writing, it spelled Caren –

Marjorie Taylor Greene
My goodness, I wonder, when I read of your deeds
Are you really a member of the U. S. Congress?
Reminds me of that unstable U. S. Senator named
Joseph McCarthy, who accused good people, made
Outlandish accusations and wound up censored.
Republicans cannot be proud you are representing
In high office their grand ol' party, with such
Explosive rhetoric and shameful

Marjorie Isabella
In the Southwest of Scotland
Marin county Argyle-shire
Extends a narrow mass of land
Known only as Kintyre
A certain mull on which is known
What sea the eye adore
As glitter to a rolling mist
As waves align the shore
Not far from there in Campbeltown
Five miles or maybe more
Sat Duncan Blaine McGeachy
His hat upon the door
Young daughter Isabella
Bound for distant

Marjorie At School
Marjorie laughs when others laugh
not understanding the humor that is her
Popular Marjorie
Entertainment for future prom-queens
Meat for bullies
A lunchroom pastime
Pimple-faced Marjorie
Simple-minded Marjorie
Let's put Marjorie on
Its so fun
Pretend that you like Marjorie then put her down
she falls for it every time
We discuss Marjorie's grades
social studies, math, English
Dismal-failure Marjorie
No room for

Granny Marjorie
Granny Marjorie,
Can be sometimes cranky
Granny Marjorie,
Loves to smoke her cigars and drink coffee
Granny Marjorie,
Has a friend named “TV”
Granny Marjorie,
Asks for pastry puffs when she’s hungry
Granny Marjorie,
Heard me play with Rosy
Granny Marjorie,
Remembered good memories with Monty
Granny Marjorie,
Seemed so happy
Granny Marjorie,
Smiled and looked at me, “Don’t grow old my young lady.”
(Granny Marjorie is 90+ years old
