The National Animal Farm Rodeo !

The National Animal Farm Rodeo !

A Poem by Easter3
"

The wild and wooly antics of Political Animal Farm Rodeos.

"

“Ole Mitch McConnell ran an Animal Farm

Ee-I-ee-heave-ho !

And on this Animal Farm

He had a Barn full of Bulls

(and an occasional heifer)

Moo-oh-Moo-lah-oh !

They swore to break some horns here

And spill some milk there

Break it here - spill it there

Me-oh-Me-Oh-My !

And McConnell’s Buddy

Farmer Grover Norquist

Lobbied the Tea Party/Republicans

To Sign (in Blood) his Anti-Tax Pledge

With - No Taxes here !

And - No Taxes there !

Blitz the Taxes - Nix the Taxes !

Run all over Old Battleaxes !

Pledge to push the American Economy to the very Edge

Push it over the Fiscal Ledge

With the Norquist Nation Destructive - No Tax Pledge !

No Fiscal Bail !

Ring-ching-ching-No Sale !

No Sale-ee-ale-ee-oh !

Then, President Obama got Re-Elected

Leaving Romney, Boehner, McConnell and Norquist (and others)

Bitin’ nails and ponderin’,

“Why weren’t the Ruling Class Republicans selected ?”

The Many stood up against the falsely Preferential and Austere Wishes

Of the Almighty 1%er Few

Pee-u-Pee-u-Pee-U !

We the People spoke out against

Unfair Playing Fields

And all too exorbitant High Yields

Stolen from the meager Pockets

And off of the Hard Workin’ Backs of the Middle Class

And the Workin’ Poor

So, We the People showed ’em the Door

Seekin’ to Even the Score

No More - No Less - No More !

So, now All American Eyes

Are Watchin’ and Waitin’

To See Politicians politicin’

Compromisin’ and Takin‘-a-Lickin’

While tryin’ to keep the Economic Heart of the Nation a-tickin’

Tic-toc-tic-toc-ee-oh !

Yep, All of the Animals

In the Nationalized American Animal Farm

(that are not stampedin’ or yella‘-bellied Secedin’)

Are waitin’ with baited breath

While Wall Streeters tantrumin’ algorithms

Bounce Up-and-Down, Side-ways

And Ever-which-a-ways

All mopin’, hopin’ and dysfunctionally copin’

With the Fiscal Cliff Negotiations

And Revelations of Economic Escalations

And Monetary Crashes and Middle Class

Hesitations and Fiscal Devastations

It’s a Wild West (East, North and South)

Ro-dee-oh-dee-oh !

Good Luck to the Lame Duck

Political Hacks and Know-It-All Quacks

Tryin’ to preserve the Nationally detrimental Status Quo

Obama, and his Political Minions

Are stickin’ to and with their

“We the People” Beliefs and Opinions

So, let’s get Goin’ !

Hop aboard and get to Rodeoin’

Get ready for a long, hard Ride

Get your Spurs on and Choose your Side

“Cause the Animal Farm Rodeo

Is on the Go !

And It promises to Be

One Heck of a Wild Ro-dee-oh-dee-Show !
