But strings of blue words
Appealling to herd,
Are often less than analytical.

It's time that political foes
Use uncritical
"News", THERSITICAL,
Dressed in sham high-minded prose.
--- Chris Papa
Others compare to "fat pig".
Now she has a stash
Of a horny guys cash,
Who got lost in her soft THIMBLERIG.
--- Chris Papa

That in congress we find
Many with a like mind,
As well-practiced THIMBLERIGGERS.

Old guys are truly ironical,
For the old trio's
Braggadocio's
Belying tools merely conical.

The anthrax some send us to touch.

With swell hindsight rear,
Becomes a relic, too camp and phony.

She turned with a hiss
And said, "Listen to this!
Either quit, or I'll sue your ass!"

And stirred up desire to mate her.

With olive oil style

But shrubs pay the price,
Pound of "flesh" for TOPIARY.

When poodle is clipped,
The trimmer has slipped,
Poor dog, silly cut, most unkind.
--- Chris Papa
The name of the place people tell,
The one that's used most,
Rates no earthly toast,
But is the ubiquitous, Hell.
