My Wise Country Cousin on Legacies of the Two-Lie Crew…

by BAR poet-in-residence Raymond Nat Turner

DJ Commanduh:

He closin’ Gitmo Feb 30th—de 31st at de latest

Goin’ down as de mos suckcessfull, de greatest

He promiz dem ol’ fools sum “hope an’ change”

But, gib ‘em de gud feelins ob dope an’ strange!

Amazing AG:

Keepin’ investagashuns open ‘til Halley Comet return

‘Til Magnificent Montague relight “Burn, baby burn!”

Now, he de greatest ob all time when it come to de AGs

Gib us ‘bout as much just-us as de ropes, an’ de trees…

Legussees:

Lak de Grammies, de Oscurs, an’ de $elekshuns

Lak monkeyshine tawk ‘bout de bannin’ ob guns

Dem small negroz de one worryin’ ‘bout legussees

While dey’s dyin’ lak flies from Mulehead disease!
