I THOUGHT YOU UNDERSTOOD
Another unscripted gathering at the local watering hole
where all the problems plaguing us are solved in one night
coming to grips with this conflict of civility
confusion, misapplication of words spoken created the fight
Reporting the news, even with the pundit’s twist
opinions blended with misleading facts
spewed venomous accusation
demonizing the opposition
doing exactly that which
they accuse others are doing
keeping the hairs standing on our backs
The Progressive/Liberal elite are executing their plan
confuse the base, overwhelm the public coffers
constructed monetary failure arrives at night
public welfare fund takers and scoffers
riot for unearned government dole
conditions deteriorate rapidly
the toppling of Democracy
well within their sight
My gosh, I cannot believe you all don’t see
the Progressive vision
complete government control over you and me
not saying the Conservatives are doing any less harm
all the reckless spending
causing America to sell the farm
Time for the people
you know who I mean
“…of the People, by the People…”
all remember the dream
put an end to political vitriol
a Democratic Republic
protects freedom for all

To go on from here would just waste your time
be civil and honest with one-another
tranquility would be just fine

Are you ready for this:
The Call
“Hello…Sailor here.”
“Hello. Rod?”
“No, Sailor. I don’t know who Rod is.”
“Pardon me?”
“That’s OK.”
“Can I speak with Rod?”
“Sorry, don’t know who Rod is?”
“Let me speak with Rod.”
“You have the wrong number …sorry.”
“This is not Rod’s phone?”
“No.”
“How long have you had this number.”
“Eight years.”
“No Way! Rod had this number last week.”
“What number did you call?”
“What’s your number?”
“No, it don’t work that way. You tell me what number you called, and I’ll tell you if it’s my number, or not.”
“Screw-you …click.”
Wow! I answered the telephone, allowing it to completely interrupt my thoughts. I do have an appetite for communication, though not the above abbreviated, nonsensical, rude miscommunication the caller abruptly ended.
