A slight simplification of the GOP platform

If you give to mice a cookie,
They will
probably
show their ravenous hunger
by asking for another.

And if you give them one more
They may not even give their thanks.
In mice there is a genetic
tendency
to crave things
beyond
what they came
into the world
with.

Well,
some say our laws are damn unfair
in the way
they favor some
over those that
are far more deserving of largess,
so solutions must be found.

Well,
They wish to live
a lazy life
where they
can steal
from the wives
of reputable men.

These animals terrify
the decent souls
of hardworking industrialists
and undermine the foundation
of homes
where teenage girls are kissed
in ways that would
terrify
their fathers.

Perhaps their mothers
do not shriek
because
in time
one grows to love
the beasts
beneath their feet.

So when those bastards
act like They deserve
a moment’s grace
in front of
impartial courts
that serve
to protect
the people
from manufactured traps,
remember they were vermin
who had eaten through your floorboards
and driven men into the Nile
and carried fleas to half the world.

You should not have to worry
if
our justice
will be swift.
Everyone
is
dangerous
and
deserves
a
thunderclap.

They cannot be satiated,
because their hands are
plastic wrap
that melts
on everything they touch
(like a
cheap-ass
version
of Midas).

Fuck Them.
They wouldn’t vote
for us
anyway.
