Can you imagine it? Little
brown skinned children evading
the sharp eyes of the Texas
governor giving all those legislators
Covid, yes those little devils,
challengers of walls and all things that
injure wildlife roam the state
Capitol in this, the hottest of
wars
Mister patriotic, friend of
the KGB, (well formerly), seems to
get a kick out of blaming
children – poor children that is,
since everyone knows the
poor are always to blame
Yes folks, they are children and
are to be blamed, or
so we are told since my uncles
who went to medical school to
study all this stuff don’t know
nothing,
or so we are told
Cold wars, hot wars,
pandemic wars, I want
the most stuff wars –
can’t get enough of it,
can we? And good thing too
since we can always blame
the little brown skinned
children yep
as American as
apple pie
