A Marvelous Tea Party

With Apologies to Noel Coward

Nolan O'Brian
I've been to a marvelous Party,
With Bubba, and Sarah and Jules
We wore Patriot hats
and removeable tats
Rode Harleys and acted like fools.

We drew a mustache on Obama
And spat at the mention of Gore

And we all knew the fun was about to begin
When Bubba hung eight teabags from his hats brim
And shouted the N-word and "Let's Impeach Him"
And I couldn't have liked it much more.

Yes I've been to a marvelous Party
To meet twenty thousand like me
OK, it was not
As large as we thought
We numbered six hundred and three.

We ranted and railed about taxes,
Obama's tax cuts we ignored.

And we all know the fun was about to begin
When Alaska's ex-governor Sarah Palin
Said You Betcha! Next time we won't quit...we will win!
And I couldn't have liked it much more.

    I supposed too that you think people like Alan Keyes, Herman Cain, Condoleezza Rice, Thomas Sowell, and many others are token conservatives? While your poem is just a poem, it reflects a deep rooted bend towards a certain direction and it is not near the center and is opposite the right, IMO.

    Yeah, nonsense verse for nonsense people!

    Ha! This is terrific! Thanks for your info on my Rick Scott article. Exactly my sentiments.

    Creative.

    The irony is that the comments about Harley riders bugged me a little... All bikers do not have tattoos, or act like fools. Some of us are even very well behaved women...

    Cute and funny. It seems that you and I do not share quite the same views, but I think this is amusing. Any extremist group leaves it's self open to parody. Well done.

    Lighten up people, this is poetry, and parody, and humor!

    Guess you didn't see that huge carbon spewing villa your boy Gore just purchased...guess the going green he sold to the masses is paying off in a whole lot of "green"...lol

    A marvelous expression, and I couldn't have liked it much more!

    Inaccuracies? Surely you jest!
