One thought on “January 2025 Meeting”

  1. Hello Peggy! I was a former member many moons ago but I continue to write poetry, satires, children’s poems, etc. My punctuation still sucks somewhat but still enjoying life.
    I’ve decided to send a political satire/parody to whomever
    wants to read it. However, it can’t be published because it is the music and melody of Garth Brooks song, “Friends in Low Places.”
    Politically speaking, I am an Independent, but I swing
    to viewpoints from both the Republicans and Democrats, depending on the issues involved. This writing favors the Republicans, and I am aiming to write a rebuttal for the Democrats later. I hope y’all enjoy.
    The reason for my inability to join any critique sessions is the unfortunate condition of my beloved wife having 4th stage cancer and I must spend most of my time taking care of her.
    All prayers for her will be highly appreciated.
    Keep writing, fellow poets and authors! Have a blessed day!

    Friends in Right Wing Places
    (parody/satire from Garth Brooks song, “Friends in Low Places”

    blame it on Sleepy Joe – or Kamala, we know
    their liberal puppet affairs
    then came covid 19, it caused a 6 feet scene
    but those masks didn’t work very well
    and we weren’t surprised when we heard all their lies
    from pronouns to immigrants galore
    then Trump stepped up – an’ said, – “We’ve had enough
    – we’re not going take it no more!”

    we’ve got friends in right wing places
    according to all of the databases
    now the G.O.P.
    so grateful to see
    and no people here with blue hair traces
    no immature grownups on their pillowcases
    cause we got friends – in conservative places

    we won the Senate and the House
    and not much Mickey Mouse
    yea, Disney is losing their thrill
    and the show called the ‘View’
    they often come unglued
    “But ladies, y’all just need to chill”
    and people north and South
    are tired of hearing their mouth
    their emotions are an overkill
    and that woke Hollywood
    they didn’t act like they should
    is it hard to portray what is real?

    but we’ve got friends in right wing places
    Come January will be serious faces
    so, pardon this pun
    sticking to our guns
    true men and women with American graces
    we can’t see no room – for the critical races
    because we got friends – in republican places

    Taylor Swift is so sad, Barbara Streisand is mad
    while Trump will be dumping their trash
    and if they want to move out
    with their progressive shouts
    maybe there they can make a big splash
    but now they lost the vote
    yet they’re still on the boat
    Americans, let’s do our part today
    so, whether right or left
    let’s all do our best
    to keep America from falling away!

    yea,
    we’ve got friends in right wing places
    states that swing on down with hopeful faces
    make this country great
    hope it’s not too late
    good men and women, with godly embraces
    let’s get away from DEI disgraces
    yea, we got friends – in conservative places
    yea, we got friends – in republican places
    we got American friends – in all the right places

    (I still love liberals, so don’t feel too ‘blue’ and please don’t lose your sense of humor.
    Let us pray to God and hang on to America as each day progresses)
