Healthcare Reform as a Sonnet
I saw an eagle flying high today,
Disturbed by the mob, she searched for respite.
The mob’s anger was based in Marx and Che.
Men harassed by the bird and her free flight.
Detested because her independence,
Trapping the bird was a “big fucking deal.”
Puffing on a Red and lighting incense,
The Chairman leads the mob in for the kill.
At the urging of this Marlboro Man,
They hit the bird with their hammer and scythe,
To see the bird destroyed, his only plan.
Battered, beaten the bird appears to die.
As the move on to their Palace of Sin
Like the Phoenix, this bird will rise again.
