Hi lakeport. Thank you for your review of my piece. We are being taken to the cleaners and our country's a mess. It's my hope in daring to speak up, others will do so. God bless you, too, and God help us.

I loved this satirical poem, and I can relate to it, even though I'm Canadian. It seems our governments aren't much different from each other. Your 'voice' in this is priceless! (Now send it to Senate!)

Thank you, Dawn. I think we spoke with our votes in the midterms. Now to get Obama on board. I appreciate your nice review.

Thank you for sharing your social commentary and adding the clever cartoon. Your rhymed couplets and rhythm in these quatrains amplifies your message. Your punchline is choice too. Rant any time--hope it made you feel a tiny bit better! Cheers- Joan

Thank you, Joan. I won't feel better until we have a leader whose ego doesn't interfere with his/her judgment.

Good for you, now send it to your Senator and Represenative.
I think they got a message loud and clear on election day.
Now we need to ride them till we brake them , cowboy.

Political preferences aside, this is a (from the gut rant) worthy of the five. I was laughing before I even read it. Did the art work inspire it. Perfect match for the title.

I agree with everything you said. Too bad those that need to read this will not see it. You did a great job explaining the plight of those whom the gov't is supposed to protect. I see nothing to change. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Yes, we are in trouble and so is most of western society. I like your rhyming and funny rant. This is what happens with the people believe they deserve what they are getting. They have been taught that their society is wrong and abusive of others. They have lost their pride in what and who they are.

I think you and I have totally opposing views on who will serve us best. But at this time, it seems, no one is serving us at all.

Yes, granny. We do have opposing views, but that doesn't me we have to punch each other in the nose. Compromise is the answer and Obama is unwilling to do that. He's a divider, not a uniter. He forgets he is supposed to be the president of the entire country--not just his party. Nevertheless, let us hope we can get something passed--some of those 300 odd bills passed by the House that Harry filed in his circular file.

I think we should not discuss this. O.K?

I loved your political rant. Yes, the country is in trouble. All the corruption and greed and cronyism is finally coming to a head. They have forgotten that they work for us! Great poem. Wish I had a six for you!
