Big Top in Florida [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-02-14 Well, new to DK so I didn’t know exactly what ‘bucket’ to put this in. I guess it could be considered a short story but it’s actually a short song/poem (think: Home on the Range) that popped into my head one day, looking for a receptive audience. Perhaps, it’s here: Mar-a-LagOde Oh, give me a home, where the nut and bolts roam, / where fear and hate are at play. Where seldom is heard, an encouraging word, / and bizarre plots are hatched every day. Home, home of the d’ranged, / where the Right and the ill-informed play. Where can always be heard a disparaging word, / against lesbians, trans and the gay. Oh, see on the Right, ne’er a patriot in sight, / where lies always supersede right. / And never is heard, an encouraging word, / their bark much worse than their bite. Home, home of the d’ranged, / where the weak and the meek congregate. / Where up is called down, and they’re led by a clown, / who will never be wearing the ‘Crown’.
