Premium Member American Politics

The Republicans want a particular thing,
The Democrats all want another,
The President tries to put his two cents in,
The Independents would, but why bother?
Republicans will tear a referendum to bits,
Democrats will, of course, shout its praises.
The issues on which they unanimously agree
Involve session adjournments and congressional raises.


Lighthouses

I’m standing solemnly contemplating 
How ageing lighthouses independents
Have become Maritimes normality 
With beacons becoming statutory 

Now standing shimmering silhouetted
You’re shining flawlessly undemanding
The hopeful monument oblivious 
To seamen’s abounding adorations

Premium Member Our Thoughts Do Not Compare

Talking to my brother is always a treat, neither of us is ever up in the air.
Our politics are practically identical, our strong feelings so completely out there.
We can speak Republican and Democrat without a thought or care.
We are both registered Independents, and type A blood types, truly square.
We have a lovely phone time once a week, a conversation we do fair.
We don’t speak of religious things, however, as our thoughts do not compare.
