The Deal

A gift in verse

I have thoughts about Bob Dylan
and how Bernie would have won
and how tweets are a distraction
and the damage P.C.’s done

I’ve opinions about “Westworld”
and about the phrase “alt-right”
I’ll give you takes on “Gilmore Girls”
to last you through the night

Should Hillary put makeup on?
I’ll answer loud and clear
Are we allowed to burn the flag?
Why, let me bend your ear

The media is dying
I can list the reasons why
Climate change is hard to solve
But stand back and I’ll try

How can we regulate fake news?
Well, listen to my plan
What’s to be done with Kayne West?
You’ve come to the right man

I have so many things to say
But here is what I’ll do
I’ll shut my stupid fucking mouth
You shut the fuck up too
