REIN-LESS

© - Tom Hyland - 10-22-09


When there is a Drought in some Area
It is Rain-less.
When Congress Fails to Control Spending
Its Members are Rein-less.

Their Method of Attaching ‘Pork’ To Every Bill Proposed
Is Disdainfully Brain-less!
Take a Great Idea - then Ruin it -
By Adding Personal Lame-ness!

Assign a Name to a Bill -
Making All Think it is a Good Thing -
Then Attach a Corruptive Cancer -
Making it Really a Mere Changeling!

The Original Intent is Often Spent -
Wasted - Side-Tracked - Forlorn -
Just More ‘Pork Belly’ -
More Corporate Porn is Born!

Do They Not Know That -
Their Attempts are Inane?
To Surreptitiously ‘Hide’ - Such Folly?
Are They Totally Insane?

Do Our ‘Supposed’ Representatives
Think We The People are Brain-less?
Is Smacking Us with ‘Two-by-Fours’
Their Idea of Political Finesse?

Save The Banks!
Screw The People!
Save The Greedy ‘Mongers’
Shout It Out - From Every Steeple!

Save The Corporations’ CEO’s -
Turn a Jaundiced Eye to Their Follies!
Grant Them Rewards and Perks -
So - They can Get Off their Jollies!

Save All the Ignoramuses -
Like - Detroit’s ‘Big Three’ -
Screw The Public -
Lil Ole - You And Me!

Complicate Every Issue -
Toss It To and Fro -
From a Tiny Mole-Hill -
To a Mountain - Make It Grow!

Tack on Some Money for Munitions -
Addendums - Add-Ons - Pernicious Additions
Muddy the Water - Make it Swirl like an Eddy -
The Sheep are Stupid - and Never Steady!

WE ARE CONGRESS!
WE DO WHAT WE PLEASE!
THROW THE DOGS A BONE!
GIVE THEM A TEASE!

We Are Corrupt - But -
It’s a Great Secret!
The Dummies Won’t Know -
They Can’t Speak Pequot!

HABLA ESPANOL!
OPEN WIDE THE DOOR -
IMPORT MORE ‘ILLEGALS’
GIVE THEM - MORE, MORE, MORE!

Fa-Get-A-Bout - ALIENS -
Arabs - Jihadists - and Muslims - Galore -
Invite Them In - Embrace Their Contempt -
Let CAIR Expand - Like a Cancer Spore!

“One Nation Under God!”
Sorry - THAT is Passe’!
Sneak Allah into Schools - Then -
Kids With Bombs - Now Can Play!

National Health Insurance Reform?
By Now Has Grown To - A Perfect Storm!
The Far Left - The Far Right - When Will They Begin -
To Learn - The MIDDLE - Is WIN-WIN!

A Horse With No Reins - Rein-Less !
Tramples All Wildly!
‘Tis Now High Time - To ‘Dig In The Spurs’
REMOVE ALL THE - BURRS AND CURS!


BOSTON TEA PARTY?

WHEN IS ENOUGH - ENOUGH?

“TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION”!

ARE WE NOT BACK TO ‘SQUARE ONE’?

THE ONLY THING MISSING IS - KING GEORGE!


REINLESS?

“BEGONE SATAN!”

The word and image "forlorn and forlorn hope" came swiftly to my mind. You probably are familiar with the term as it relates to those men who during the war of the north and south were the first to storm the enemy. They would all perish in their attempts but they did provide shelter with their dead bodies so that the men behind them might have a better chance of survival and success in their mission to conquer the enemy. I'm thinking that the plebes are this first group of sacrificial lambs and the government is the enemy. But how many plebes have to be vanquished before the enemy is subdued?
