C’mon, man!

One vote, two vote, red vote, blue vote. Black vote, white vote, gay vote, straight vote. This one thinks the cops are stinking. This one hates on old Abe Lincoln. Say! No wonder all the woke are mad.

Yes, some are Muslims, and some are Jews. Some are dykes and some are dudes. Some are left and some are right, and some are sadly too uptight. Why are the left and right uptight? I do not know, but see them fight.

Yes, some are thin and some are fat. The fat one wants to have a chat: “To hell with those who body shame. It’s not PC. I’m not to blame.” From there to here and here to there, PC police are everywhere.

Here are boys who like to run against “our girls” in the hot, hot sun. Oh me! Oh my! Oh me! Oh my! How Title IX has come un-done! But don’t you bitch that it’s unfair. Crazy things are everywhere.

This one’s stoned on legal pot. This one goes to church a lot. This one reads The New York Times and this one thinks their words are crimes. Who gets to say which news is fake, who is honest, who’s a snake?

By gosh, we have a Bill of Rights. That let’s us flatter, let’s us slight. You can post that Biden’s great. I can tweet he’ll ruin the state. We can mock the Donald’s hair or say the swamp is everywhere. It does no matter, not a tad. I don’t know why, go ask you dad.

That is, unless your dad’s a mom (or left your mom when you were young). Then ask your mom, the one in charge, why talking smack is living large. You see it helps to air it out, to stand before a cop and shout. It doesn’t matter what you say – just that you spoke and walked away.

And Facebook kept your words on-line and Twitter let you share your mind. And friends could read and post you back – or opposites claim, “That’s no fact!” Oh me! Oh my! Oh me! Oh my! Nobody’s words will make you die.

I don’t like Antifa so well. All they do is yell, yell, yell, and turn nice cities into hell. And Black Lives Matter, what’s their thing? Have they forgotten Dr. King? If those weren’t riots and looting sprees, then someone tell me what is peace.

Black sin, white sin, poor sin, rich sin. Straight mind, gay mind, right mind, left mind. This one is a know-it-all. This one thinks the sky will fall. They aren’t the problem, not at all. ‘Cause free speech is a wake-up call.
