Arthur Anderson’s Advice

Ms. Barton’s face couldn’t be redder
Over burning her ex-husband’s letter.
There would be no inferno
If she knew what we know:
Be safe; use a document shredder!

Terry Barton’s Reply

A. Anderson, you’ll never learn.
What you pay, so you also will earn.
I didn’t conspire
When starting my fire
But you did, so you surely must burn.

A Shining Example?

Thought our lake could avoid “
silent spring?”
Now “Erie” has an ominous ring
Since researchers have learned
That the “dead zone’s” returned
In a plot line that’s pure Stephen King.

You can give John Ashcroft his due
For defending the Red, White and Blue.
But give him more power?
That’s sure to turn sour.
He’ll be taking some liberties too!

To criticize Bush isn’t fair,
For not stopping September’s nightmare.
Even though FBI
Knew Al Qaeda could fly,
You’ll find no intelligence there.

Where No Savant Has Gone Before

My request may seem a bit dotty
And my knowledge of physics is spotty;
But it’s just been reported,
“Photons teleported.”
I’m ready, so beam me up, Scotty!

Southwest, with your latest advance,
You have grown far to big for your pants.
Cuz I’m built extra-large,
I must pay extra charge?
Will that mean extra service? Fat chance!

So Congress and Bush are on edge
Since a federal judge drove a wedge
Between Church and State.
Now they seek to berate
Anyone who will not take the pledge.

But why must they meet the decision
With all the inflated derision?
For a land “under God,”
Don’t you think it quite odd
That hypocrisy’s our state religion?

International criminal courts?
We Americans aren’t such good sports.
We would try other nations,
But expect dispensations
When it comes to exposing our warts!

Striking it rich?

M.L.B., can there be any doubt
That it’s time fans exerted some clout.
While you millionaires bicker
Over who gets rich quicker;
One more strike and we’re calling you “out!”

“To attack or not to attack?”
That’s the question posed on Iraq.
But its Arabic neighbors
Don’t favor such labors,
Which they see as another Bushwhack

Vin Diesel, with speed and with stealth,
You have risen in status and wealth.
But now, E. P. A.
Should have the last say,
Cuz your acting’s a hazard to health.

To Kelly Clarkson

A wave of good will, nearly tidal,
Anointed you “Pop Star, Most Vital;”
Just because
television
Has become the religion
That makes each
American idle.
