Darke County Senior Scribe
Another look at politics… Mother Goose Abuse
By Lois Wilson

Once again Senior Scribe Poet Laureate Lois Wilson is on top of the season with her insightful look at the important events of the day.

For the second time this season it’s politics. Wilson offers a series of poems, each addressing a different look at our coming trip to the polls, then touching on another possibility two years down the road.

ENRICHMENT, PLEASE!                                             LERNER’S WEB
 
Barry, Barry,                                                               “I miss it; I muff it.
Quite contrary,                                                            Now I must tough it—
How does your recovery grow?                                     Deleting my words away.”
With closed coal mines                                                Along came her hider,
And stalled pipelines,                                                   A  D.C. insider
So little’s made, all’s in a slow?                                    Who frightened his puppet to play.
 
 
CORNERED                                                                 GOING NUCLEAR
 
Political hack Holder                                                     Kerry had a missile plan.
Sat on a boulder                                                           The piece meant might could slow.
Eating his mishmash pie.                                              And everywhere that Kerry went,
He put in his thumb                                                      The plan was sure to go.
And pulled out the scum,
And pled “What a good guy am I!”                                   He took it to the East one day.
                                                                                    It was against their rule.
                                                                                    And to his offer, they said, “Nay!
THE FALL                                                                     You must think us a fool!”
 
Barack with will                                                             Some other countries shunned the plan;
Went up to Hillary                                                          Still Kerry kept it near.
To sketch a tale—the crafter.                                         And hostiles did defy each ban.
“If we blame the video,                                                  Their missile tests caused fear.
Then my polls won’t skid below.”
But their swill came tumbling after.                                 Why do leaders love the plan so?
                                                                                   The people wondered why.
                                                                                   Because it is their plan, you know.
                                                                                   They’ll push it do or die.
