Poem Of The Day

From Lyle, one of Tim Blair’s brilliantly witty commenters:

How I Became an American:
A Former San Franciscan
Describes His Decline and Fall

My pickup truck has mudflaps
And I wear hunting plaid;
It wasn’t always like this –
Here’s how I turned out bad:

I was a social worker
Who dated teenage boys
And dismissed Country music
As just a lot of noise.

Then one fine day it happened,
I felt my id collapse
When Starbucks said they wouldn’t
Stock avocado wraps.

Right then my heart turned bitter
And learned a cruel lesson;
I turned to Bible classes
And my Smith & Wesson.

What if Obama loses?
I’l be so bitter that
I just might move to Houston
And buy a cowboy hat.

    I ought to mention, it’s not autobiographical.
