Sonnet 75 – The Democratic Party by Dennis Allen Lange

—

The unions still support because of greed;
The homos do, since by it they are blessed.
For power, it will make the nation bleed,
And even die so long as they are best. 

A shrill excuse and welfare sugarcoat,
A promise made to ope’ the nation’s store,
And greed-deceived, the Party buys their vote.
Then, at the ballot box, they play the whore. 

They’ll save the trees; they’re green – and kill the child,
The babe within that says you’re not your own,
That you can’t do all that you wish, be wild.
They’ll raise you up and take God from the throne. 

With sin the soul, and selfishness the core,
It ain’t your parents’ party any more.

Let’s Act Like Men by Dennis Lange

       Let’s Act Like Men

Can we have some common sense,
   Instead of the extreme?
I’d fight to save an elephant,
   But darter in a stream? 

A minnow or a little fish
   That no one ever knew –
Beside a massive elephant
   In Africa or zoo? 

There’s really no comparison;
   Why was there such a stew?
It held up helpful Tellico
   And all the good it’d do. 

Who’s first, we humans or a fish?
   (A fish that’s still obscure).
We have fish reg’lar on our plates –
   No kinsmen, I assure. 

Endangered species come and go
   Survival of the fit;
Why act as if it ne’er occurs,
   And pull such awful phit?  

It’s not your brother or your aunt;
   A fish is just a fish.
The world won’t come to Tennessee
   To see a darter splish. 

So next time darters dam a dam
    Let’s have some common sense:
The ones who make the awful stink
   Should act in their defense 

By shouldering the burden, cost,
   Instead of common man,
Pack up the darters to your homes
   And save in tank or can.
