"haliburton" poems - Hello Poetry

Catfish! Swimming in the water Catfish! Swimming round and round Catfish! Won't you come and meet me Here beside the waters that I've found C'mon pretty catfish, don't you drown Living in this city Had an awful year Couldn't make Miss Pretty Smile ear to ear Summer was a hot one It's a bummer! Winter's near If I had a shotgun Ol' Haliburton dear Catfish! Swimming in the water Catfish! Swimming very near Catfish! Bend to me your ear I've seen so many bad things catfish dear I have no fear; the end is very near Catfish! Catfish! Swimming in the water Catfish! Catfish! Take the bait, you ought ta Catfish! Catfish! Jump out of the water And tell me "Is this water really clean?" When Polar Bears can't find no place to be They decided that more oil was better than more beans More nuclear reactors put a waste to more machines Who cares if they're on fault lines Or its waste goes in the air When the ice cap's melted We will fight to drill more oil there Catfish! Can you talk some sense to me Catfish! Catfish! Please, just take the lead Catfish! Ninety cents of every dollar Given to our madmen enemies? Three Hundred Sixty Pennies! Catfish, Please Catfish! Catfish! Do you need more cheese? Catfish! Catfish! A simple answer please Catfish! Catfish! I'm not your enemy I'm just a simple country boy. You see? You can open up your eyes now Catfish, please Open up your eyes now catfish, please Open up your eyes now catfish, PLEASE

FRONT PAGE NEWS, CALL ALL THE PRESSES. Most Americans by now realize that all sales of gasoline go directly to terrorist. To quote Obama "Isis is 10 times as powerful as any previous terrorist group." Yet he had the gall to "loan" GM Corp. millions of dollars for the sole purpose of building more gas guzzlers. Didn't you know what you were doing Bam? Betcha got Hal stock from **** didn'tcha. Here in Hackensack, most of the members of the Hackensack Police Department own SUV's so that they can look cool in their support of ISIS. It is not my desire to make anyone look bad. I just want to bring awareness to what is happening here. Most politicians received stock in Haliburton (the largest manufacturer of war equipment in the world) which **** Cheney worked for, for thirty-five years before he was chosen, er, stole the vice-presidency. And most Americans agree that he should do time. Yet, Here in Hackensack, the local police department continue to drive gas guzzlers, fully supporting Isis. Hey!, they stated. It's our American right to support whatever cause we want. It's a free country isn't it? Eerily still, at the Johnson Public Library (in Hackensack), there is a security guard who wears a full beard resembling a terrorist (talk about putting fear into your readers. This guy makes Stephen King novels look like fancy boys.) but, I guess it's too late to take action. The only thing left to do is save yourselves. I heard that Canada is a free country. Maybe I'll move there and not worry about some Mexican who will (crawl through a tunnel that goes underneath a fence that the Donald's mob buddies built to) take my place.
