Sweet Dreams


The beast that guarded Thebes

has the head of  Elizabeth Taylor,

the breasts of Jayne Mansfield

and the body of a lion.

A Republican stops at

the city gate

where she asks him

a question—

Are you an honest man?

He gives the wrong answer,

is ripped to pieces,

and thrown into the sea.

Serves me right:

that’s what you get

when you eat

smoked oysters

and drink red wine

at bedtime.

 

Now send in

another Republican.
