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 and her Christianity,
then spews out venom. That hate is wrong, she cannot see.
Here’s one conspiracy theory that thrives in Greene’s head:
JFK Jr’s death was a Hillary “Clinton murder”~~that’s what she said!

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 – it was gold plated.
This was my favorite present for at least fifty years.
It meant the world to me, it was something that I never had before.
I thank my Aunt Marjorie for that gift to this day.

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 behavior.
The thought crosses my mind that you are simply
Attention-getting, that your true motives are hidden.
You believe that even the most unsavory publicity
Lands you votes, makes your name well-known,
Or … is it possible that you are truly unhinged?
Really?
Goodness, surely you cannot believe the bizarre,
Radical conspiracy theories you so blatantly
Espouse? Obviously, you must not care that
Everyone is questioning your sanity, knowing that a
National high position cannot amend your reputation.
Every day brings hope you will rise above your station.

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 farms
Alas to Rocky Mountain House
Clutches in her arms
Where Peter Paul of Eckville
Did spy the raving lass
More fair than any local
And quite a lovely yass
Peter Paul and Isabella
Rose the Adams pack
Jack Loreen and Mary
James Peter at the back
I remember James Peter
Marge would say J. P.
And when she called him Jimmy Joe
He’d hide behind a tree
Old Jimmy Joe he got to know
How grievous love could be
He stood inside a few short days
More tall than any tree
His mother Isabella
His darling Marjorie
Would both depart on one foul whisk
The maker for to see
Of Jim and Marge had come a brood
As fine a brood could be
Of Randy Eddy and Janelle
And my sweet Laura Lee

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 her here
like waving at the blind or
shouting to the deaf
What's the point?
Better off in functional skills
We do our best to
Keep Marjorie from physical harm
Ignore her daily-beaten soul
Feed her useless facts
Keep her from getting in the way of the real children
and
Move her along until...
Until what?
We have not a clue
Through it all
Marjorie smiles

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 and as dementia.)
