A tisket ,a tasket
Kirk's cased in his casket
This earth no more walking
All from his straight talking
Drove Tyler Robinson
To fire one shot from his gun
That produced his silence
Leading to more violence
Never a solution
Rather revolution.
A wife of husband bereft
Two kids fatherless left
The Second Amendment
Was never heaven sent
With the grim widowmaker
No more than a lifetaker.
Is that to be the future
Bullets us to butcher?
Thank the Lord..' Katters on the job.' Father of the house..
And solar housing systems..This legend is worth every bob'
A straight talking hero.' Who has his country at heart.'
Who will stand; with with his no-nonsense manner.'
It's time; and well past..Get to the line, be ready to start.!
We are all broken people.
We are all flawed human beings.
Please don’t tell me that you carry no shame.
Please don’t tell me that your soul does not burn.
The dark road is long for the guilty.
The dark road is longer for the fool.
For I am broken and I know pain.
I forced a change behind my eyes.
Please don’t lie about your own pain.
Please don’t try to fool these foolish eyes.
Because I know how to see through to the deep pain.
Because I used all the foolish lies.
Just go brush your teeth his wife said
He used viagra gel instead
He stuck out his tongue
And felt a bit dumb
His wife said hey you, come to bed
McGee sat deep in his overstuffed chair
As his son came home from school
McGee called out as Shawn rushed by
“I need to 'ave a word with you”
So Shawn scuffled over and flopped in a chair
His eyes looking down at the floor
McGee puffed his pipe and gave it a light
Said “Let me get right to the core”
“I really don’t know the best way to say
But this is the way that I’ve opted
I’ll just tell you straight, no reason to wait
The truth is, Son, you’re adopted “
“I knew it" said Shawn, "I knew all along
It couldn’t have been more apparent,
Now that I’m free, I demand it you see !
I want to meet both my birth parents”
“We’re your birth parents” declared McGee
“And don’t worry everything’s fine
But you had better get ready it’s almost three
And your new Parents should be here on time”
