Please retire in Santa Barbara.
Arizona's quickly changing,
Joe Arpaio's posse's rants the world estranging.
The last time I came for a visit,
I heard that he had gone ballistic.
You remember Xochil Peña?
Her poor grandma was harrased at work in Mesa.
All the smart guys seem to hate him,
and he refuses to debate them.
All the times he talks in public,
it seems he thinks he already runs his own Republic.
I'm surprised it doesn't scare ya,
that your neighbors often dare ya,
to volunteer with Arpaio's cronies,
'cuz they've loved him since he began with the pink chonies.
Please leave home, oh muddah fadduh,
stay with me, it's not a bother.
Don't stay there out in the desert where
the crazies think they know what's fair.
Please leave home, I promise you a fun filled time,
fresh produce and good local wine,
oh please don't make me beg,
that state's become a rotten egg.
Dearest Fadda, darling Mudda,
how's my precious, doggie brudda?
I can't wait to, let him kiss me.
Hurry over and admit you also miss me.
Wait a minute, the plan is failing,
crazy's spreading, saneness is flailing.
If he tries to, can we stop this?
Could Arpaio actually win the oval office?!

Nice job with a touchy subject!
ReplyDeleteSheriff Joe for president!
ReplyDeleteViva Sheriff Joe!
ReplyDeleteAlguacil Joe es el mejor!
ReplyDeleteCute poem but so wrong! Sheriff Joe is a true patriot
ReplyDeleteAbout time our prisons treat prisoners like prisoners.
ReplyDeleteWhat??? No weight rooms, no computers, no TV.
Has my vote for President.
Good job. Joe is an unethical creep. He only cares about publicity and spending the taxpayers' money to gain more publicity. We have an insane number of unserved warrants because he'd rather go after undocumented immigrants than do his primary job.
ReplyDeleteYou should get some help with your entitlement issues!
ReplyDeleteFeel welcome to hit the road
ReplyDeleteoh Hispanophile toad
with your load.
Joe's a man.
Thank you to all who have left me a note.
ReplyDeleteEven if you hate me, I'm glad that you wrote.
We all have the right to believe as we do.
I'm a tough girl. You can't make me blue.
Thank you for your post. Looks like we have a bunch of haters. They choose to 'hate' in lieu of the alternative, knowledge and Humanity.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your strength. If a young, smart attractive 'white' girl like you attracts these 'haters' imagine how someone like me, brown face, black hair, older and 'worst' of all, Latino is disdained and disliked even if they don't know me or anything about me.
@nene - EXACTLY! If this is how I get treated, I can only imagine how the haters treat you. I will continue to promote knowledge and fair treatment towards all. xoxo

ReplyDeleteI in fact loved your poem.
i deal in touchy subjuects alot.
and it really sucks when people do not understand. but we are writers write how we do. there is nothing wrong with speaking our mind
even if it is set to rhyme.
