Front Porch Wisdom

Bernie’s coming on like a socialist gangbuster.

He’s like a mix of Larry David and old Mr. Bluster.
It’s good that kids, who watch their vids, have got behind this boomer.
He’ll smash the oligarchy and had harsh words for the Bloomer.
They say his early praise of Sandinistas might be slighted,
but this new world of social media is quite near sighted.
What have you done today, they’ll ask. I’ll conquer a dictator.
That’s cool, they’ll say, go have your way, we’ll check in with you later.
If he can tear down walls and has the balls to check this king,
the world will be a Bernie paradise and kids will sing:
“O, white-haired one, here comes the sun, the world’s back on its axis.”
Here come free school and health care, cool, paid for by rich men’s taxes.
And if VP is Warren, she can carry on his torch.
A brand new generation can toast them from their front porch.
