Thank You TROOPS!
Dedicated to our TROOPS, and their rescue efforts in the face of disaster.

Mardi Mess II
The finger pointing has just begun
the blame game got started before
the first setting of the sun
humans sent to the dome
no food, no water, no cots,
no comforts of home
The sick, the aged, the helpless
the poor, used as they have not been
used before
A mouthy woman senator disgraces
the Senate, threatens to punch
out our President for his criticism
The do nothing governor, a clueless mayor
wait for the Feds to bail out the mess
hurling insults and to this day no official
request for relief
Thankless, shameless, leaders on cue
while 200 buses left for our view
the blame game bandies about
the outlaw gangs roam freely at will.
It's New Orleans we hear,
the Big Easy, let the Good Times Roll,
now an open cesspool, over flowing with vice,
and America we'll pay for the mess
no need to think twice.
To the credit of our Military,
humans lifted away
from the hellholes of existence
to a clean cot, water and food, medical help
for the infirm
the aged treated with compassion, loving and care.
No whining, or moaning from them to we hear
they roll up their sleeves
saving lives, searching in homes
for the many still there.
The Military, our heroes no praise
will they take, it's our job they say
get to the job, and do with excellence
any task, while the Governor of New Orleans
still refuses to ask.

Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
This one just might be my favorite ~ although I love them all...
this one shows the new roles for woman,
including, among other things, entering the military and the police dept!
