So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day.
I sat there with Fred we sat there we two.
And I said, “How I wish we had something to do!”

Too wet to go out and too cold to play ball.
So we sat in the house. We did nothing at all.
So all we could do was to Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!
And we did not like it. Not one little bit.

Then in the quiet darkness something went BUMP!
And that very loud noise from our skins we did jump!
While Fred ran away to hide, leaving behind a big, steaming dump
The dread we felt was worse than “Your fired” by THE Donald, that Trump

We looked! And we wondered if this tall man, is from Bain
He said “No children, that’s Mitt, I am the Herman the Cain
We looked! Then we saw him slither up, rubbing up against the doorframe.
He snickered “I am crazier, much more glorious and of notorious fame”

He said to us, “Why do you sit there so still like that?”
We just stared up him while he took off his tin hat
While leering directly at us both, me and my Fred:
In a conspiring whispery voice the following he said

“I know it is very wet and the dimmed sun is not sunny.
But we can have lots of fun that is exceptionally funny!”  
“I know some new tricks, some good games we could play,
We could have so very much fun, we could cheer up the day”

“A lot of good tricks. I will show them to you.
Your mothers will not mind at all if I do.”
Then Fred and I Did not know what to say.
Our mothers were out of the house for the day.

Our fish Spot said, “No! No! Make that Cain go away!
Tell that Cain of Herman you do NOT want to play.
He should not be here. He should not be about.
He should not be here when our mothers are out!”

“Now! Now! Have no fear. Have no fear!” he said
“My tricks are not evil, trust me Margaret and Fred”
“Why, we can have lots of fun, let’s start with killing that noisy fish,
With a game I call “Dump waste in the water, that fish we’ll abolish!”

“Take a look!” as he let loose benzene up into the air
Who cares about ordinary people, life isn’t very fair
“I call this fun game Deny Carcinogenic Agents,” giggled that Cain.
“Worse than the Chernobyl nuclear shit released into the Ukraine”
“Isn’t this polluting” asked Fred “Isn’t this wrong”?
“Not according to the “scientists” we pay to play along”
“They will say whatever we want as long as they’re paid” said that Herman of Cain
“With the teeny, tiny, miniscule brains of T-baggers, we have absolute free reign”

“In this box are two things I will show to you now.
You will like these two things,” Said Cain with a bow.
“I will pick up the hook. You will see something new.
Two things. And I call them Koch One and Koch Two.

He said “These things will not bite you”, as they stepped out of their Mercedes.
Out of the car came Koch Two and Koch One back from their vacation in Hades
They said, “Would you like over the earth to have immense control and power“
“With our money fuelling the Tea-Party engine, this will be our finest hour.”

Fred said, “No! No! Those Kochs, where they came from have to return!
“It is not time to for us to go” they said “you have so much more to learn”
“Have no fear, dear Fred and Marg,” Said the Herman of Cain.
“These things are good things for us, they can create acid rain”

In the background we could hear the lone Freedom Bell ring
He patiently told us “They want to own all and everything,”
“Take notes, take a lesson from a very notorious German”
Said that crazed Cain, that horrible, fascist, that Herman.

“They should not pour that nasty ammonia into the ground”
“Not a problem “ he said “the hands of the EPA are bound”
He cackled madly “the things they will maim, so much fun to be had while they kill! ‘
“The horror of it will leave the liberals tame, for an encore ruin a rain forest in Brazil! “

While the above sky was murkily lit,
I started to be afraid the teeniest bit,
I tried to stand close to Marg, very straight to appear quite tall
While suddenly from the sky above birds began to crash and fall

He then said, “Children, they’re harmless. “
“They have come only to stifle progress”
“They have come here only to play. “
“And put an end to this moral decay”

“They only seek to change the world, the only one we know”
“Until the future is foreclosed upon and their fees in escrow”
“The game is not over until the liberals regress”
“We will yell victory when we have stifled progress”

Then his very large case began to pack all by itself
Out of thin air appeared Ron Paul, the libertarian elf
He supervised everything until it was all packed
The case once again was very small and compact

Without another word, they disappeared  and vanished from our view
The only trace left from Koch I and Koch II was a puddle of oily butt goo

There was a time when those who came to America, came to fulfill their dreams, provide a better future for their descendants, a land of possibility.  Hopes began with “When in America” and when success and prosperity rewarded the hard work of these immigrants they later said “Only in America”.

The America of the past no longer exists and has been replaced with a corporate run government in which people no longer are considered a country’s greatest asset, but is replaced by corporate domination.  Only in America is the country’s strength is measured not in its’ people, but in its dominance of lessor nations.

Only in American are trillions of dollars are spent on a war which makes no sense, but 1 in 5 children are literally starving.  Only in America is where it is acceptable to wage a war on the wrong enemy, but remains firmly rooted within that nation for ten years. Continue reading »
