Not certain where this came from, just sort of flowed out after viewing the attached picture...


Poem Artwork

Freedom to view this butt,


With the wrinkled suit,


Freedom for those who wear it,


To bring about a lawsuit,


To all who view it, thinking it’s cute…


 


We fight for freedom,


We fight for life,


We fight for countries that know not quality of life,


We fight for democracy,


We fight for personal lunacy,


A freedom we don’t take lightly…


 


We fight for those that take others lives,


Claiming they are insane, isn’t that just so lame?


We fight for those that hurt, kill, maim and molest,


Then give them a place to live,


With heat and food and a bed, no less…


 


Do we do this cause we are crazy?


No we do this cause we are a democrazy,


Laws and regulations all built into our society,


Made us what we are up to this point,


We cannot change now, for our ancestors, this would disappoint…

Nope! We're not crazy, Eddie M... We're America... and along with the melting pot idea, we also have as many views of what that name means... one of which is that you are free to look at that woman's back side, while I turn 'round, checking to see if she and I have any similarites.. em.. hmmm.. Nope! I'm much smarter than she! We each have our 'strong points'.. she and I. (grin) katy xox.
