    STRANGE TIMES HAIKU

    Judge Roy Moore.jpg

    We live in strange times

    Repubs run for the old days

    Days of slavery

    (Moore) is much less

    Families flourished

    America was once free

    Free to enslave some

    I can't take the news

    I can't watch the President

    My own President

    (dentures at issue?)

     

     

    Reality check?

    What is, is; so I am told

    And so what is not?

    Mother Mary please

    Come to me, and help me see

    Any good in this

     

     

    Alabama is

    Part of my wondrous Country

    I can't ignore this

    But Duck Dynasty

    Tells us young girls are fun

    get em when they're young

     

     

    But is there justice?

    We just lost Franken up here

    In the Great White North

    But less is now Moore

    He feels slavery was good

    He hates America

    (America I love)

    Yet Franken was frank

    Frank about slaves and women

    Frank about the rich

    Frank about abuse

    Frank about segregation

    Frank about fairness

    Trump sees both sides now

    People exist on both sides

    What a relief

     

     

    THESE ARE NOT THE GOOD OLD DAYS?

     

    THIS SONG HAS MORE THAN JUST A REFERENCE TO KETHCUP.

    HA

    Oh, U.S. Senate,
    don't you cry for me,
    Cause I come from Alabama
    with a young girl on my knee.

    As I noted elsewhere, Trump supports Roy Moore because he thinks "Alabama values" means he'll finally be able to marry his daughter.

    Well, you gave me a chuckle as usual, but sadly Ivanka is really too old for true Alabama values, doncha know?  Besides, now she’s Jewish and the Alt-right would finally have something to be scandalized about with his behavior.

    She's a shicksa from New York however she slices it, but I'm talking Donald's coopting any ill-fitted opportunity...
