				VETERANS’ DAY
 
 
How liberals do defy the mind 
 
For nothing in theirs’ can we find,
 
That willingly will look with reason 
 
At how their man committed treason,
 
Skulked off to Paris this effete 
 
To grovel at the Madame’s feet,
 
Betraying his sworn officer’s oath
 
To become the turncoat we so loathe.
 
 
Our law is clear you shall not treat 
 
With America’s foes nor their cadres meet;
 
Give aid nor comfort to enemy forces 
 
Nor espouse a view from hostile sources.
 
Without a mandate from the state 
 
Wherefrom your right to negotiate?
 
Was treason, John, and is treason still 
 
To this very day your unpaid bill.
 
 
Don’t try to hide behind your youth. 
 
You knew the law you knew the truth.
 
You knew your faux negotiation
 
Would further tear our war-torn nation
 
And all for what, John, your career
 
So you can shameless brazen here,
 
And claim now that you’re fit to lead 
 
The very nation you made bleed?
 
 
And yet before us there you stand
 
With medals blazing you demand
 
Such treachery we must ignore
 
Your treason that lost us our war.
 
But hold on, John, we veterans say,
 
You had your turn, now comes our day.
 
You thought we slept, forgot your crime?
 
Oh no, John boy, it’s come our time.
 
 
Some say let you apologize
 
But that won’t do it in our eyes.
 
A man astride of each position
 
Could we believe your true contrition?
 
The vindication we’ll accept
 
In settling up this long-held debt,
 
Is each of us will do his best
 
To deny you, John, your lifelong quest.
 
 
Listen carefully John to what we say,
 
November 2d is Veterans’ Day.
