It's Still Politics to Me

Here’s a little ditty of a poem, inspired by an old Billy Joel song I heard on the radio back in the day. . . Billy Joel’s “It’s Still Rock ’n Roll to Me.” (See link at bottom.) Here’s my 2025 America ditty, with words arranged (more or less) to fit the pattern that Billy had made such good use of in “Still Rock ’n Roll to Me.” What’s a matter with our wacky politickin’ in the year 2025? I wish I could be read’n some old newspapers from the year ’55. Where have we been on social media lately? You can’t make a make a point without first turning hately. Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout the Jan6 riot, but it’s still insurrection to me. What’s a matter with the party I remember in November as a child? We can see that it’s gone all dismembered; that its all goin’ hog-wild. I can see its not the same old GO-party. Their best bet’s a maga mobby-starty.

mad men rippin’ down donkey-funk deep-junk; it’s still insurrection to me. Oh it doesn’t matter what they say on FacX fume cuz its just a bling echo room There’s a new king in town; though he aint got a crown and it feels like its doom and gloom How about a new pair of parties with a new way of doin’ things? We could really be a lawful Republic without all the b.s. bling1 Then we’d find ourselves a new way to govern instead of blowin’ fire in the mega-maga oven.

Next phase; new wave, no craze, anyways its still politics to me! Glass half-Full Now, if you wanna hear Billy singing his “Still Rock n Roll” song. . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngPI9ySYIUU
