POEMS

A small collection of poems I wrote way back in 1993.
Note that many are as fresh today as they were then.

Call the Cops

Political Correctness now directs our every word:
No hint of harsh harassment is permitted to be heard.
So, where's the PC army force to save the common folk
From Clinton's lies, deception, and harassment they invoke?



Comparisons

George Bush: still dismayed at his loss to the kid.
And Reagan: enraged! So undone's what he did.
Oh, where is the joy in this vast Clinton blight?
Well, Carter's just jumping with giddy delight!



Consistency

In foreign policy we find
Ourselves in one horrendous bind.
Positions change, devil-may-care,
Like changing shades of Clinton's hair!



Curing Ills

For chicken pox I don't expect an appendectomy,
Nor plaster cast, nor enema, nor chemotherapy.
So why are Dr. Clinton and her faithful left-hand man
Proposing cures for ills not suffered in our health care plan?



The Government is Safe

From all of Clinton's actions and his socialistic schemes,
He's working hard to overthrow the government, it seems.
But that's not true, I promise you. That Clinton dunderhead
Is working hard to overthrow the citizens, instead!



Health Care

The ethics of medicine has a loud voice:
A patient, informed, simply makes his own choice.
In contrast: with Clinton-Care, everyone looses.
The government, uninformed, randomly chooses!



Insight from a Letter to Peter Carr

Tom Jefferson so long ago said after just one lie,
The second, third come easier! (It's little wonder why.)
He said the falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart
We've witnessed TJ's wisdom with BC right from the start!



Lady Hillary

The fair lady Hillary makes a grand tour,
With look of dominion and words quite demure.
The praise: oh, how giddy; the compliments: rife.
Heck! Who'd make a slur at the President's wife!



NAFTA

I favor free trade; it's a principle, sound,
To benefit economies all around.
But one thousand pages? Dominion too broad!
With "F" compromised, the whole treaty is flawed!



PC Justice

The Reginald Denny defendents are free!
The jurers have spoken with justice, PC.
The new rule of law that the verdict supports:
Affirmative action has come to the courts!



Priorities

Oh, is it fair for Clinton Care to dominate Bill's time,
While soldiers die, for who knows why? Indifference is his crime!



Priority Mixup

Our foreign policy's a mess,
The NAFTA push: a joke.
But ClintonCare: full speed ahead
To fix what isn't broke!



Rubber Geometry

This field of math allows the mind
To stretch a surface without bind.
With Clintonspeak, beware; forsooth:
What's stretched beyond belief is truth!



Sign First

I've got an investment; I tell you it's hot!
It's something for nothing, believe it or not.
I can't give details, though I know you will love it.
This is an investment you truly will covet.

The cost? Don't you worry. Just trust me and sign.
Put your signature right here on this dotted line.
Preposterous, you say? Well, just look here, young man,
I've described the proposal of Clinton's health plan!



Slick Bill

For salesmanship few can compare:
Such style, such grace, such charm, such flair!
But never will his sales attack
Make up for what his products lack!



Surviving ClintonCare

With waiting lines and rationing that ClintonCare will bring,
Come poorer health care services and higher price-tag sting.
We're in the throws of HMOs and socialistic hell.
There's no relief and no escape: you simply must stay well!









The way back home.
