The poet William Stafford set himself the task of writing a poem a day. When someone asked him what he would do when his poem-of-the-day wasn't very good, he replied "I simply lower my standards." In order to increase output, the bar here is set at a low level - the point of this is to have some fun with current events and politics. I welcome contributions and comments. Now you can also follow Doggerelo on Twitter (@doggerelo). Because of continuing medical problems, I'm no longer able to post a poem-a-day. I'll continue to post poems, but at a reduced frequency, so please stay tuned.

Civil War in Lubbuck?


The first paragraph of this post from ThinkProgress, about Judge Tom Head of Lubbock, TX, deserves to be quoted in full:

Earlier today, ThinkProgress reported that Texas Judge Tom Head told a local television station that President Obama would turn over American “sovereignty” to the United Nations if reelected, that Obama’s actions would potentially trigger “civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war,” and that such a conflict would culminate with “UN troops” led by President Obama invading Lubbock, Texas. We swear we are not making this up. There is video.

There’s a judge in Texas that said
Obama will be at the head
Of a UN invasion force -
Invading Lubbock, of course.
If Obama wins in the fall,
A civil war will befall
The nation and we’ll have to fight
The UN and Obama’s blight.

I think that we’ve heard enough.
How can people believe this stuff?
