THE TRUTH ABOUT HORSE MANURE

 

 

America’s manufacture of horse manure

is useful

 

just think how it increases the production

of shovels

 

just think how its use as fertilizer helps

business grow

 

just think how its stink rises faster than

Dow Jones

 

just think how its simple production lowers

the need for labor

 

and has become a major part of our gross

national product

 

 

 

 

THE RABID RADIO TALK SHOW CROWD

 

 

I listen to rabid radio

where hosts hoist someone from hell

and throws them back after hours

of ridicule

 

anyone who wears the funny coat of headlines

is eligible             listeners throw water on them

hoping they’ll turn to dust like the witch

in a well known movie

 

some call up for target practice

shooting AK47 insults at them and

slinging hatred like shovels of shit

to make the stink stronger

 

living in the last century

they’re riding white stallions and slaughtering

Indians for a gory national glory

believing that someone named God applauds

they await awards     granted wishes of damnation

 

 

 

 

THE MONSTROSITY OF HATE

 

 

now we can present to you

a way to vent your angers

in an easy to assemble kit.

 

complete with petty dislikes,

biases, bigotries and prejudices.

 

The Monstrosity of Hate

will satisfy you.

just listen to its motto:

 

                       it ain’t too late

                     The Monstrosity of Hate

                                can seal their fate.

 

The Monstrosity of Hate

keeps them on file

from the smallest to the

absolute vile.

 

The Monstrosity of Hate

is so easy to use

The Monstrosity of Hate

can simply choose

 

a weekly pogrom of torture and death.

 

                                                just call,

                                                1-800-WE-HATE-U

 

                                                and Pay by Cash

                                                we need all you’ve got

                                                we’re empty 

 

 

THE NATIONAL CONSENSUS

 

 

going to grad school

getting a degree in hypocrisy

a science like biology or chemistry

practiced principally by politicians

and corporate cancer cells

a Gross National Product

a tide wave that never subsides

a pox       a plague            a pestilence

a bleeding ulcer          a burning acid

a scorpion sleeping in text books

teaching torture techniques so terrible

surrender’s sung by its victims

as an anthem of its joys
