MY REPUBLICAN DENTIST

Folder: 
JOURNAL #36

a strange audience he had

me with my mouth open and

numb

and he confessing he admired

#43 but not so much 41

I gaped without his realizing it

obviously

a queer observance I was given

into the insight of this man

drilling a hole in my mouth

and chattering away like some

Georgetown magpie

I wanted to say but 41 executed

a just war with the world's approval

and involvement

and brought our boys home quickly

and for the most part alive

while 43 bullied and insulted the U.N.

as our boys got slaughtered for

no W. M.D. 's after all

but fatted up reports of

suspicions with little proof

and for his cowboy tactics

the world paid him back

in spades spewing hate for our beloved States

even Powell a long time admired public servant

by the people

disentangled himself

half way through the muck

from such an untrustworthy pack

as I drooled away beneath his hand

I pondered

how ironic

one could admire

what another found so inept and

completely ridiculous

what 2/3rds of the country

could not vote fast enough for

just so to get him out of office

sweeping out the door

as well

a near cabinet full of his

alike minded cronies

well deserved or otherwise

but then I thought

that is what makes this

country so great

that an independent voter

could sit in her Republican Dentist's

chair and be more so amused

rather than disgusted by

his narrow view of a man and party

that did many disfavors to the

United States at home

and abroad

I suppose

perhaps he was

drilling some other unknown

voter's tooth

the day the rest of the world cheered and

danced in the streets

when America elected an honorable

far more qualified man for the job

that of being the 44th leader

of the free world

and honoring at last

the long but yet fully lived up to

view of our so beloved for fathers

that yes indeed in America all men

are created equal

and nobody is above the law

even Nixon had to learn that

hard embarrassing lesson

himself, pretty quick...........................
