REOPEN KENNEDY CASE

The Fox and The Carpenter

(a shadow of our time)

Cast adrift on seventies, clueless, Kennedyless full-paid remorse,

God and Country in the wasteland that was our charted coarse -

We're so damned tired of Clinton/Bush/Obama's shameful lying;

Josh Duggar's in the hen house and President Carter's dying.

The bilgey swells tatter sails and port, to starboard lies the key

but listless winds of changed destiny stutter on briney deep -

swabbies furl the knots, belaying pins in hand, coxwain's trying;

Josh Duggar's in the hen house and President Carter's dying.

The fickle winds blew fourth, cause just swillowing the fifth

as the pieces of hate are hoarded below, in stow, in wallowed filth -

survivors bemoan fates tempest pot, victims do naught, crying;

Josh Duggar's in the hen house and President Carter's dying.

A storm of Starbuck's reason has patterned astride the sky,

clouds chock full of latté - in its season - swirl in Hurakan's eye -

darkened rivulets falling, future's meaning needs no edifying:

Josh Duggar's in the hen house and President Carter's dying.

God and politics (strange bedfellows), as profits of old proclaimed,

doubters wait til darkness sets before saying who should be named -

ushers hush and chide the few, where do they draw the line?

Josh Duggar's in the hen house and President Carter's dying.

Doers reap their meagre share in church of the moneyed-class,

bankers balk - no fare recourse - to be had that one could pass -

fame and fortune tends to warp and tarnish gold's environ;

Josh Duggar's in the hen house and President Carter's dying.

The carpenter, ancient soul, builds houses for lost in Nepal,

where a Duggar lass found her beau, before the earthy squall -

now mountains lie in earth's quakey tomb, NSA is spying;

Josh Duggar's in the hen house and President Carter's dying.

God and Satan wrestle still on left and right for middle ground,

no conscious compromise is given, yet lesser souls follow down -

age-old course embattled still, almost hear the Deity sighin'...

Josh Duggar's in the hen house and President Carter's dying.
