no new texas

Few recall an era dim
Or ever learned about october surprises,
How to arrange hostage releases
How to postpone insolvent bank closings
With a single call to Topeka,
How to use small planes to fund
Terrorists, how to willy horton
The opposition into hooville specks,
Few recall, the rest recant,
Take the fifth
Every time until the box of gump
Chocolates is all a syrupy silent smacking
Of thin elite lips, red
As the china in the Kremlin
His teleprompter lips read
:no new texas
That much was true.
