Joey, We Hardly Knew Ye

© 2008, by The Conservative Muse

Dear friends, here we’ve gathered, ‘neath darkening skies,

To mark the event of Joe Plumber’s demise.

The media choked him until he was dead

By “spreading a wealth” of manure o’er his head.

He committed the most unforgivable sin:

He caused the Obama campaign much chagrin

By asking a question that brought a bad answer….

You’da thought our poor boy had been peddling cancer

The way the lib media struck with such force

To minimize damage and kill off the source

Of redistributionist talk that had slipped

From Barack’s normal socialist-camouflage script.

Big-hearted Barack told this entrepreneur

His taxes would rise so The One could ensure

That “people beneath him” could rise to his height,

That “spreading the wealth” was a government’s right.

Libs laughed with derision ‘cause Joe said he planned 

To buy a small firm and make two fifty grand.

They chortled, they sneered - condescended with glee!

There’s no wealthy plumbers that they ever see!

Their trashing the messenger misses the point: 

The reply, not the question, is cause to anoint

Barack with a redistributionist oil

In which all the “wealthy” will soon be aboil.

The Dems who destroyed Joe won’t get their just pay,

Any more than they did when they knifed Fannie Mae. 

Belittle the guy putting truth on display

And stifle free speech: it’s the liberal way!
