ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

     Note: This is one of the few pictures I did not assemble, 
but I thought it was too good not to post here!

EVEN TINY HANDS CAN HAVE STICKY FINGERS!

PANTS ON FIRE?

Pants on Fire?  Who Me?
I don't see any fire!  
There was never any fire!
The Fire Department already put it out!
Plus I don't wear pants!

THE HAND THAT FEEDS

 There you go boy!  Eat Up! Your Friend Too!

A SENATOR'S DELAY

I'll be right there to kill the assault weapons bills
but I can't seem to wash this blood off my hands.

THE INCOMPLEAT GARGOYLE

Below is link to a collection of parody lyrics I wrote around 2000 in the course of taking a Great Books Program in the University of Chicago Graham School.  (More on Graham School at: https://grahamschool.uchicago.edu.)

Here is a link to this Basic Yearbook I produced (also known as "The Incompleat Gargoyle."

AMERICAN OZYMANDIAS

I met a traveler from the Rio Grande,

Who said “Twelve hundred miles of concrete stone,

Lie in that river.  Northward in the sand, 

A politician lies, whose lies alone,

Deceived the Nation he had sworn to lead,  

And spurred its folks to fight among themselves,

Leaving sweet Democracy for dead, 

And told dictator pals: Just help yourselves!

And on those concrete blocks these words appear:

My name is Donald Trump, the pol of pols!

I left your Congress paralyzed with fear, 

As I lied and looted for my wall. 

And now Democracy you once held dear, 

Lives on in dusty books - and that is all."

I dedicate my parody to the wall our current President attempts to build along the Rio Grande River in a costly but poorly conceived attempt to prevent illegal immigration from Mexico.  Obviously this is based on Percy Bysshe Shelley's famous poem Ozymandias.  If you would like to review Shelley's poem and read about the despotic ruler it depicts, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozymandias
