Stanley Cooper Poems

The working class through the nose pay
For rising prices prices every day
Their savings diminished bit by bit
Need a consumer's advocate
...

Stand-up comedians so funny
Joke around to earn their money
They’re never funny sitting down
...

Baseball ain’t just a game
Ask any fan, it’s a way of life
Life and Baseball, so much the same
Similarly filled with fun and strife
...

Species apart are oranges and apples
Yet they’re frequently compared
In illogical grapples
...

Why would an ethical woman or man
Join the villainous Ku Klux Klan?
The K K K, with repulsive licentiousness
Works at evil with base conscientiousness
...

We never thought they'd disappear
We took them all for granted
But now long gone, it seems quite clear
They've been permanently supplanted
...

I recall when books were read
Television's now watched instead
Down the tube our culture's heading
Brain paralysis is what it's spreading
...

North against South, hatred unbound
Grant versus Lee - our country aflame
Young men maimed on no neutral ground
A blood potpourri, our nation in shame
...

George W Bush must bare the blame
For his disingenuous warring game
This macho cowboy, with no remorse
Insanely shouts, “Let’s stay the course”
...

Most small guys, with fervent vigor
Avoid fights with those much bigger
Preferring not to fight at all
When looking up at six feet tall
...
