This is an example of my tongue in cheek humor...

Come Ye

 

Come Ye Citizens for its entirely up to you.

So suck it up citizens, you have to pay your dues

Come Ye Citizen’s don’t question or complain,

Your banks should keep their profits & very big gains.

 

Come Ye Citizens it’s all your responsibility.

Your great auto industry is need of some security.

I don’t care if you can’t eat that’s not my concern.

The CEO’s need their jets and cash for them to burn.

 

So don’t you complain that you have no heat,

Your Electric Service also has their profits to meet.

So what if you freeze a little bit, put on a heavy coat.

So all our big Executives can sit back and gloat.

 

And don’t you dare complain about our Congress,

Or when they want to give themselves a raise.

So what if you live on dog food & have nothing.

Do you expect some kind of Praise?

 

It is your total responsibility to bail everyone out.

And you must do it quietly without any kind of pout.

So suck it up Ye Citizens, and do what you’re to do.

And we’ll keep on sucking the entire life out of you.

 

Written by,

Bonnie May

Can't we go back to that wonderful Far West justice to apply to them? a rope and a tree branch, no cost, no fuss, and that ropes can be used again and again, and we will be getting rid of the vermin.
And I am deadly serious.

It makes no sense that the big wigs are getting raises, while the men and women who do the grunt work end up struggling just to keep a roof over their head and food in their bellies! Something nessed to change! A great reminder

Amen. Sucked dry for sure. Excellent write. But some are speaking up. And it is great. The ceo with the 1.5 million remodeling reimbursed the company. The trillion dollar jet went back to the French maker. So there is hope. Liz

And the truth shall be spoken by the fantastic poetess Bonnie May!

What's that? What did you say? What do you mean they turned off the gas? The water too? Whatever shall we do? I guess all we can do is suck it up. Pass the straws.

So funny, it's sad: spot on, Bonnie! The rich get rich and the citizenry ... well, you know. Excellent.
