SAFE BY MINNESOTA

by H.L.


When speaking American, beware
We are all so advante-guarde
Tho' we do not use those words.

It's like, like so Paris
She went to glamor prison, you know,
or maybe it was Martha what's her name.
My one word of concrete evidence:

Laura cares!
When bridges fall down
She makes a public appearance
White dead people are so PC
even George can help them.

Sigh! We'll let People Magazine
and Rupert Murdoch tell how
Texans lead the World.
