American Wriggle

Rand Paul opens
a new can of worms.

The worms wriggle
around in the can,
unaware they’re about
to become fish-bait.

“That’s it! ” he tells them,
“I approve of wriggle!
Fish approve of wriggle.
Everybody approves wriggle.
It’s The American Way! ”

Tea Partiers cheer, wriggling
like blind American worms.
