Ten Little Republicans

by Tony Whitaker

Ten little republicans were chatting and sipping fine wine
One said “we shouldn’t support the SCHIP program” and then there were nine

Nine little republicans were walking around one’s estate
One said “I believe abortion is a decision only a woman can make” and then there were eight

Eight little republicans talking about heaven
One said “we should accommodate all people’s rights to their own religion”, and then there were seven

Seven little republicans were discussing all the world’s conflicts
One said “let’s get out of Iraq and go get Osama ” and then there were six

Six little republicans discussing stem cell research in keeping people alive
One said “we should allow embryonic stem cell research by the private sector” and then there were five

Five little republicans were sitting in their yacht just off ones island’s shore
One said “We should not make Bush’s tax cuts permanent” and then there were four

Four little republicans were talking of global warming and trying to agree
One said, “the latest research shows the Atlantic pump IS slowing down” and then there were three

Three little republicans were debating the sub-prime mortgage zoo
One said, “the Federal Reserve should not bail out mortgage lenders” and then there were two

Two little republicans discussing how Iran’s nuclear program may soon kill everyone
One said, “let’s try to use diplomacy first” and then there was one

One little republican said “let’s quit giving all these countries money to fight wars that can’t be won”
So the Republican Party said, “I guess we have no one!”

Author's Note: No Paige, no apathy here! I have too much energy and confidence for that. But thank you for your concern! Ciao!

Youch on your Author's note, Tony. I can only wonder if it will make you suddenly apathetic, but a great (very very conservative) poem!
