In Wile E. Coyote reality,
just look straight up if
you run off a cliff,
no need to heed science or gravity.
In Wile E. Coyote reality,
the stork only comes
to eager raped mums,
there's never unwanted gravidity.
In Wile E. Coyote reality,
if you're sick and can't pay
try the Tea Party way:
emergency room hospitality.
In Wile E. Coyote reality,
if God guides your path
there's no use for math,
the deficit's paid by divinity.
In Wile E. Coyote reality,
the poor pay the tax,
the rich just relax
and let Bain take care of their equity.
In Wile E. Coyote reality,
don't bother with truth
--it's a folly of youth--
the facts are a dull technicality.
