"Scuttlebutt"

He who believes the scuttlebutt

With not a single confirmation

Has a brain the size of a walnut

And the functioning of a crustacean.

"Gloat"

When I move to my lobster boat

And sail to Nova Scotia

The locals are sure to gloat

Better here than in Kenosha.

"Castration"

When character assassination

Becomes currency of the realm

Life is social castration

The Devil takes the helm.

"Wonder"

Unless it happens right in front of me

I can't be sure it's true

Even then, I am sure I'd wonder:

   if I got it right.

"Seething"

The problem with coping and seething 

Is that coping helps me to cope 

Then the seething part is easy 

   (with just a little hope).

"Sting"

War is not a pretty thing

You most certainly are

Why don't you avoid the sting

   (let the gentlemen spar).

"Amoral"

So, you are amoral

No sense of right and wrong

I'd avoid moral quarrel

   (or head to the Church).

"Assassinated"

Character's the thing

That must be assassinated

Letting Freedom ring?

Well, it's complicated.

"Dies"

Believe whatever lies

Call yourself whatever

Just vote against the Commies

Or all Freedom dies.

"Trample"

Challenge your worldview

Cast it aside and trample it

Only the courageous few

Ever make it through.
