SUCK IT UP! <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

11-19-2016<\/p>\n

This situation is getting out of hand,
\nYoung radicals angry across the land.
\nThe President-elect won fair and square,
\nMisguided marchers don’t seem to care.<\/p>\n

Their true fight is against democracy,
\nNo respect for the law, can’t you see?
\nThe electoral college is how it works,
\nWhy do street puppets act like jerks?<\/p>\n

Equal representation E.C. guarantees,
\nProtects us all from voter monopolies.
\nSo suck it up, and act like real men,
\nIn four more years, you can try again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
