Corn

Ladies and gents, I think it's best that I issue a decree
As of this moment you will eat nothing but
Corn
Corn in the morning
Corn at night
Your children’s afternoon snacks shall be
And of course you guessed it,
Corn
There are many ways to prepare a meal of
Corn
So don’t think that you shall be left with
Dull dinners and boring breakfasts
As long as what you are ingesting is that which is of equal value to said
Corn
And nothing more, for if you so much as think
About eating that which is not
Corn
Your dwelling place shall be strewn with
Waffle-throwing bipolar monkeys of doom
And yes, we do have those; we bred and trained them ourselves
So no more pastries, pickles, pumpkins or pies
Bread or bananas, bonbons or beef
You shall have nothing unless it is
Corn
Thank you for your total and complete compliance
Your government has spoken

This is just me expressing my thoughts about how much I hate politics, and all the stupid little ways the government controls people.

    Bravo!

    Actually, your poem is full of truth. If you look on the back label of any product whether it may be pickles, catsup, bread,candy, pastries...all the labels say corn syrup. In fact, our govenment has bought thousands of acres in the rainforest and guess what they are growing? You got it Corn!
    Bravo!

    I love it!

    You have a "corny" sense of humor and if you continue to be naughty the IRS is going to audit your taxes for the last ten years.

    Hmmm, creative. Sounds like something the government would decree. It's got an Angelspit feel to it as some of their songs are based on politics,
    Well done.
