MY UNCLE HAS A LOONY BENT


Here's another poem from the innocent, Halcyon days before November 8. Remember the outrage over the bizarre conspiracies that Fox News used to perpetrate? (Of course now we have to wonder how many of their sources were in Cyrillic :)

MY UNCLE HAS A LOONY BENT

My uncle has a loony bent

and shares it with my mama

in emails since 2010

disparaging Obama

who plans to kill the elderly

to fund Obamacare

and harks to muezzins held early

where he chants Koranic prayer.

While on my father’s side, an aunt

also dons the tin foil suit

for her sporadic outraged rant

about his “coffee cup salute.”

She doubts he ever found Bin Laden

or the long-form certificate,

She’s angry that we’ve all forgotten

he’s just “a drugged prolifigate.”

If I should live as long as they

and start to watch their Faux News channel,

take this as my will: you may

call an ACA Death Panel.
