Aunts and uncles, nieces and cousins
Come together for the annual feast,
But this time it’s a little different
When words are spoken least.
“Pass the potatoes, pass the gravy!”
Are no longer said out loud,
But happy fingers type commands,
Making digital markets proud.
Nine family members around the table
Are all quietly busy typing,
We won’t hear shrill arguments
Like granny always griping.
We’ll text for turkey and text for stuffing
And then text for pumpkin pie,
We’ll text between the forks and spoons
Between butter and carving knives.
Talk and chew is really rude;
Let Smart Phones eat our words,
“Welcome to Textgiving!” you type
Where words are never heard.

Once upon an election dreary,
I sat recluse, but ever leery
Of town hall rallies of Angle, Paul, and more;
I heard the teapots whistle
Like thorn bushes in the thistle
Could this be their epistle? I did implore.
FOX TV showed Glenn Beck
Like Lonesome Rhodes with red-neck,
Who failed to inform, but only infect,
The Teabag toads with fear-like spores.
Why do they always grab their guns?
Howl at the moon and call it the sun?
Loading bullets for this election?
What on earth do they have in store?
The FOX hot air began to fill
The balloonatics and corporate shills
Is this really how brain cells are killed
By Bill and Glenn and FOX Noise whores?
“We’re not interested in the facts!
We just want to ax the tax
For billionaires with deeper tracks!
So everyone sinks in quick sand tours!”
Bachmann, Palin are in overdrive
Their corporate monkeys fly the skies,
To scare us with their wicked lies
Like “Social Security’s deathbed door!”
But why not raise the cap
To tax the rich and ax the gap
Let’s get on the fiscal map
So budget deficits cannot soar!
And let’s protect our Medicare
From private insurers who want to scare
That entitlements no longer bare
The fiscal weight as health care soars.
So tax the rich! That is the answer,
So parasites of corporate cancer
Can no longer be the legal dancers
For billions of dollars accounts offshore.
Let’s beat these Ravers EVERMORE!
