Stanley Cooper Poems

Goodbye Mr. Bush and your administration’s menagerie
Goodbye Mr. Bush along with your “strategery”
Your vision you proclaimed to be wonderfully grand-ish
Goodbye to that vision that was grandly outlandish
...

Penning Latin prescriptions
Is an out of date tradition
But Docs enjoy their clubby esoterics
...

“Change, ” a key-word in this presidential campaign
But change to what, they don’t explain
Change for better or for worse?
How will it affect the tax-payers purse?
...

The astronaut heading for outer space
Past the Man in the Moons sun-lit face
Won’t have time to give it a wink
He’ll be past the moon before he can blink
...

If I could have a dinosaur pet
I’d name him Sir Thesaurus
He’d be the smartest dinosaur yet
Ever found in any forest
...

If we wanted a president abhorrently decisive
We got one
If we wanted one nationally divisive
We got one
...

With the Presidential campaign, we’re off to the races
Too many horses, too many strange faces
After checking their quality, if I had my druthers
I’d vote for Groucho, of the famous Marx Brothers
...

A Chinese friend informed me that
This is the astrological year of the rat
Though an animal lover I’ve always been
A year full of rats will cause me chagrin
...

I recently with two high-school students conversed
And alarmingly learned they weren’t at all versed
In the musical heritage of our American nation
It was a sorrowful show of their culture isolation
...

I’m concerned about the daily goings-on
The muggings, the shootings, the daily scams and cons
The politicians with their politics of lying
Their unnecessary wars, the unnecessary dying
...
