Ode To Southern Republicans

Oh, its election time again.

Ode to Southern Republicans

 

One hot day in Georgia I was sitting in my car

During that time when Bush/Cheney were the rising stars

I had rolled down my window to let in some of that Georgia wind

And a woman standing next to her GMC gave me the look of sin.

She gave me that "southern curl" for playing my music way too loud

And that's when I noticed "W" on her back window, stickin' proud.

 

In the south, where the Republicans reign supreme

And where all supported that lame duck who is still on the scene

Who can we think for the nine year old on the terror watch list?

As well as the reporter who's job it is to question why its gone amiss

Where "no gay rights" and "no pro-choice" means you are a God-send

God fearing men say no 39 bill for children but yes to 500 for his friends?

 

They say time has a way of putting you exactly where you need to be

And I'm sure that woman is giving the southern curl to the $90 it takes to fill up her SUV

So to all those southern Republicans who believe that goodness only resides in the red

Just remember the eight years of fun we've had before you jump on anything that I said.

[Everchanging Disaster]

I read this not knowing what to expect-and alas it is what I feared...I would put a author's note telling those southern republicans not to read this piece...I agree whole heartedly things seem to be going downhill but good luck changing peoples hearts.
On the other hand I noticed in the 3rd line, 2nd stanza I think you meant to say "Who can we *thank for the"
But otherwise this was well thought out and well written...definately worth my time.
