How the Manch Risked Freedom

Every Dem Down in Demville Liked Freedom a lot…
But the Manch, who hailed from West Virginie, Did NOT!
The Manch hated Freedom! The whole Freedom concept!
Now, please don’t ask why. Just didn’t like the precept.
It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.
It could be helping the poor made him uptight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all,
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
Whatever the reason, his heart or his chems,
He stood there on Freedom Eve, hating the Dems,
Staring up from his mine with a sour, Manchy frown,
At the warm lighted windows above in their town.
For he knew every Dem up in Demville on high,
Was busy now, opposing the Former Guy.
“And now they’re out canvassing!” he snarled with a sneer,
“November’s election! It’s practically here!”
Then he growled, with his Manch fingers nervously drumming,
“I MUST find some way to stop Freedom from coming!”
For that Tuesday, he knew, all the Dem girls and boys,
Would wake bright and early. They’d rush out to vote!
And then! If they win! Oh, the Joy! Joy! Joy! Joy!
That’s one thing he hated! The JOY! JOY! JOY! JOY!
Then the Dems, young and old, would sit down to a feast.
And they’d feast! And they’d feast!
And they’d FEAST! FEAST! FEAST! FEAST!
They would push the Green New Deal, call Big Oil the beast.
Something the Manch’s ego couldn’t stand in the least!
And THEN They’d do something He liked least of all!
Every Dem up in Demville, the tall and the small,
Would stand close together, with Freedom bells ringing.
They’d stand hand-in-hand. And the Dems would start singing!
They’d sing! And they’d sing! And they’d SING! SING! SING! SING!
And the more the Manch thought of this Dem FreedomSing,
The more the Manch thought, “I must stop this whole thing!”
“Why, for six decades I’ve put up with it now!”
“I MUST stop this Freedom from coming! But HOW?”
Then he got an idea! An awful idea!
THE MANCH GOT A SINISTER, AWFUL IDEA!
“I know just what to do!” The Manch laughed till he hurt.
He would start to wear a No Labels hat and shirt!!!

There is no guarantee that a democracy will last forever. Past and recent history has shown how even democratically elected leaders can gradually subvert the democratic process to increase their power and that of powerful interests. Be vigilant and active!
