One day I was teaching about a name
To some university students.
I said, " some people pray to be
called nice names
While they continue to publish their bad
names here and there."
Some students astonished,
The topic sounded new in their ears.
A name represents what someone is doing.
You are called a nurse because you nursing.
You are called a robber because you robbing.
You are called a corrupt because you corrupting.
You are called a learner because you learning.
You are called a healer because you healing
You are called a killer because you killing.
You are called a liar because you lie.
You are called a hater because you hate.
You are called a witch because you bewitch.
You are called a teacher because you teach.
You are called a magician because you do magic.
You are called misician because you do music.
You are hypocrite because you do hypocrisy.
You are called polygamist because you are in polygamy.
You are called a prophet because you prophesy.

My friend Ezekiel's
a Southern polygamist hippie
When he hits the bottle
Zeke gets a tad tippy
Can't recall all his wives' names
Each one reminds him of 'Mary Jane'
So, here's how Zeke counts 'em
Mighty proud, loud and plain ~
One Missus Hippie
Two Missus Hippie
Hic! Four Missus Hippie
Five Missus Hippie...
~ Hey, Zeke, you missed one!...

My sister thinks your're special because you're a King.
But in my eyes that doesn't mean a damn thing.
You have seven wives and you plan to make my sister number eight.
What you're doing is incredibly wrong, it's something that I hate.
You don't want to mess with me because I'm really pissed.
My sister is not going to become the wife of a Polygamist.
You are Royalty and you have a lot of money, you enjoy your success.
When you ask her to marry you, I'll make certain that she doesn't say yes.
You won't marry my sister, that's something I won't allow.
Get in your private jet and go back to your country now!

In These Cases, We Have Judgment Here
By Elton Camp
There’s no need for laws to make polygamy a crime
Some protest, “We must deal with that ball of slime.
How can we let such wicked conduct unpunished be?”
But I have this to say, “Of so little faith are such as ye.”
A man who takes to himself more than a single wife
Gets punishment enough by his life filled with strife
Marrying only one wife will bring problems galore
To take on multiples will certainly bring many more
The polygamist will be so nagged and shoved about
That he should’ve stayed a bachelor, he won’t doubt
You needn’t bother passing laws, my righteous friend
Because this is a crime that’s self-punishing in the end

Never marry a girl that’s cross eyed
Standing in front of her I could hide
Thought she wed the best men
Who were Ken and Glen
She is now a polygamist bride

The Poem is dedicated to nine innocents who has lost their lives in Israli attak on their
humanitarian aid.
Docility, a living destitute of Anthropomorphism.
Recency, appalling of desperation or piteous anomalism.
Recommendations apotheosize a fussiness of hell or heaven,
A gun shooter killed innocents a crackable Raven.
To shot a child or an old person hard lines limicolous
Inconsecutive lewdness a peevish peeping Tom Ligneous.
Reprehensible polygamist direful coiled chaotic prattle,
A salacious salubrity paramour remorseless battle
