Political Conventions
by Brian Kunde
Elephants among the roses!
Donkeys in the grass!
All the snorters have their noses,
Every ass its ass.

Oh, the bushes being trampled!
Oh, the consternation!
Oh, the fodder getting sampled!
Oh, the defecation!

Someone summon pest control!
Someone call the zoo—
Lest they gulp our land up whole,
Leaving only doo.
