King Henry VIII, the Queen of Hearts, and Obama I

© 2009, by The Conservative Muse


The Muse has already embellished the theme

That Alice in Wonderland mirrors the scheme

Of illogical thought that’s becoming so prevalent

In Year One of the Reign of Barack the Benevolent.

But we’re shocked that The One’s climbed tyrannical charts

To the height of the fictional red Queen of Hearts!


The Queen had a saying for which she was famous:

‘Twas “Off with your head” to a poor ignoramous

Who dared to do something so foul as ask questions

about motives behind some contentious suggestions.

Now Barack’s got contrary conservatives dreading

the arrogant Left’s metaphoric beheading.


These new “town hall meetings on health care reform”

Have brought out a vast right conspiracy storm

Of protestors booing the Democrat speaker ---

lib proof that conservative minds are much weaker.

Are these people as dumb as the Left would portray,

Or have they just read what the bill has to say?


Lady Nancy, Sir Durbin and other Dem lords

Have been striking the same anti-dissident chords,

Referring to “Nazi-like” organizations

Who orchestrate all of these “fake” protestations.

So libs are okay with thug ACORN-type groups,

But the Right is defamed when it rallies its troops?


How fitting that Dems made the “Nazi” quotation:

They learned that a tool for “town hall” agitation

Was an emailing list that had spread the good word;

In attempts to assure this free speech isn’t heard,

They want “fishy emails” shut down at the source:

Der Fuhrer would love such tyrannical force!


With aid from his Knights in the media realm

King Barack’s got his socialist hand on the helm

To maneuver our lost ship-of-state into ports

That provide single-payer-type plans he exhorts.

Both His Highness and quaint Barney Frank have confessed

That it’s that kind of health care with which they’re obsessed.


‘Mongst those who lopped heads as a powerful threat,

King Henry the Eighth was as bad as they get.

But Obama is making a modern-day bid

For infamy gained by his chopping the lid

Of legitimate protestors daring to speak

‘Gainst the current hot icon of liberal chic.

We pray that this dissidence isn’t unique --

Just think of the damage Obama can wreak!
