Popcorn

Mental flatulence and constipation
Confusion mingled with befuddlement
A general sense of consternation
Of wondering where the merriment went

All of these things and worse can happen to
Anyone anywhere woman or man
All ages all races even to you
Should you be seduced into muddlement
And your soul reduced to Republican
Enslavement ground to pavement left behind
To muddle in the puddle of the mind
Which they think they have destroyed but cannot
Which they think they have silenced but are wrong

They never have been very smart that way
They think they can crush us but they forgot
God can hear even when liberals pray
Nothing can stop us none can hold us down
Their narrow heads spin to find us too strong
For them to overcome by their attack
Hold tight and fight for dignity today
And we can smile to see narrow heads frown
When they think we are cornered we fight back

I resist for I have nothing to lose
The narrow heads underestimate me
But I will stand up to them as I choose
They huff and they puff and they debate me
What a sideshow what a cheap thrill it gives
They fume and hate and foam and berate me
As they reveal where intolerance lives
Their narrow heads can think no new thoughts so
Unable to expand they simply blow

I call them the popcorn conservatives
