Poetry Corner- "I Don't need reality, I got Dancing with the Stars"

Welcome once again to Poetry Corner.  As before,  I got the urge to write some more poetry. So here are a few more ditties. –SJ Otto

"I Don't need reality, I got Dancing with the Stars"

Don't ask me about the ecology,

Don't care about the economy,

I don't know about the Trump Presidency,

Voted for Jill Stein and that set me free,

Because:

I wanna be dancing,

Dancing with the Stars,

Dancing, Dancing with the Stars,

I wanna dance,

Dancing with the Stars,

Don't ask me about health care,

I'm young, healthy, so I don't care,

Don't know where Yemen is,

I'd rather drink a sloe gin fizz,

Because:

I wanna be dancing,

Dancing with the Stars,

Dancing, Dancing with the Stars,

I wanna dance,

Dancing with the Stars,

I know nuthin' about ISIS,

I just flip on the TV and there it is,

I don't care nuthin' about standing rock,

Just make sure my music has no rock,

Because:

I wanna be dancing,

Dancing with the Stars,

Dancing, Dancing with the Stars,

I wanna dance,

Dancing with the Stars,

I don't care if you have a job,

I have one, so I click my TV knob,

I don't care about military drone-made mess,

Frankly my dear I couldn't really care less,

And though my life is a mess, I don't care because:

I wanna be dancing,

Dancing with the Stars,

Dancing, Dancing with the Stars,

I wanna dance,

Dancing with the Stars,

No one to notice what a looser I am,

As long as I'm part of this dancing scam!

"The Adventures of Reagan Hood" (AKA , "Heil to the Thief")

(This goes well to the tune of the TV theme song for "Adventures of Robin Hood")

Reagan Hood, Reagan Hood, riding through the West,

Reagan Hood, Reagan Hood, Oh what a pest,

Hero of the greedy, Feared by the needy,

Reagan Hood, Reagan Hood, he's no damn good,

He called his profiteers, to gather in their lust,

Taking from the poorest folks, there lives have all went bust,

He went to worldly realms, to steel people's dreams,

Reagan Hood, Reagan Hood, he's no damn good,

In the end he got Alzheimer's, he forgot his mind,

It really didn't matters, he was so unkind,

He left us in the dust, our dreams all to rust,

Reagan Hood, Reagan Hood, he's no damned good,

He was treated like a hero, the press ate out of 's hand,

Progressives had to eat his dust, to right the country ran,

The lives his actions cost, working people lost,

Reagan Hood, Reagan Hood, he's no damned good,

In Nicaragua the dreams Sandinistas tried,

He supported contra rebels, the people's futures fried,

With war and election cheat, he pushed 'em out in the street,

Reagan Hood, Reagan Hood, he's no damned good,

Reagan Hood, Reagan Hood, he robbed us good,

Reagan Hood, Reagan Hood, for greed he stood!
