On the Road with Nightshirt Armadillo

Folks ‘tis time again

For me to hit the road

As I libel enemy and friend

As a shill for Squatty the toad

I endeavor to distort the truth

Bend facts to my own purpose

Call myself a reporter

Another clown in the circus

County meeting and floodwater

I haven’t a care

Treat it with laughter

Recount how I got there

Respect not the flag

Lest you create a fuss

Donated cash in a bag

Lost on the late night bus

Remember our vets

Restore the monument halfway

Then call off all bets

Pay the company today

Slander those who do good

Misquote them next

To my ego more food

I don’t need a text

My imagination is full speed

Not a care in the world

I ride Don Quixote’s steed

As my insults are hurled

My years make me great

A legend in my own mind

Care not for the election slate

All the same you will find

Let the hospital pay less

Taxpayer expense I find a bore

That’s normal I would guess

Guarantee the reserve bond more

When credit could be shared

Bobby and Jeff never agree

To politics nothing has compared

Their tirades fill me with glee

Another trip down memory lane

I give you my prater

My opinion inane

For it really doesn’t matter
