Stanley Cooper Poems

I’ve been driven to distraction
From this tooth that needs extraction
This little piece of calcium
Is the cause of my delirium
...

The computer fixer-up guy
A professional wiz
One morning stopped by
To give us the biz
...

Why Iraquis should trust us, does anyone know?
We say we brought liberation
They'll remember we dealt them a mighty big blow
When we bomb damaged much of their nation
...

Woe is me, the older I get
I must try to remember not to forget
I believe my mind is still in fair shape
Yet, so many things just seem to escape
...

Cell phones are useful, no need to deny it
But since their inception, it’s no longer quiet
Some of their users say ‘nothing’ quite well
On that new-fangled contraption known as the “cell”
...

I thank the Gods for inventing wine
Spiritually it suits me fine
A flask of red with ravioli
Leaves me feeling high and holy
...

American freedoms Bush impairs
Our Civil Rights are in disrepair
The Constitution, Americas pride
Its intent he arrogantly casts aside
...

When searching for answers, I’d never have thought
We’d plunge heads underwater of prisoners we’ve caught
Waterboarding, a behavior new to our culture
Instead of interrogation, we sadistically torture
...

Premise One _ Bush is wrong


Premise Two Blair is wrong
