The Missing-the-Mark Encounter

Interestingly, it seems that Kentucky

Enjoys incredible satisfaction

In boasting the Ark Encounter, which is

A strange and bizarre tourist attraction.

 

Noah’s Ark--an allegory--

Is presented as history.

That folks believe the pseudoscience

Involved is a total mystery.

 

Misleading information awaits

People who choose to visit the park.

For example, replicas

Of dinosaurs are on the ark!

 

The park's creator believes that Earth

Really isn't so very old--

Only around 6,000 years.

He tries to prove it, so I am told.

 

What he's doing is misleading folks--

Brainwashing kids, or so it appears.

Dinosaurs predated human

Beings by millions and millions of years!

 

The structure itself might be amazing--

A massive work of art. Who knows?

But being something described in a popular

Tale is about as far as it goes.

 

The story of Noah is interesting;

However, depicting it as fact

Is an inaccurate practice, which

By logic and reason cannot be backed.

The Creeper of the House

Unfortunately, Republican

Extremists in Congress have won.

The recent clown show isn't over;

In fact, it's barely begun.

 

Mike Johnson was voted in

As Speaker! Please, no cheers.

He's the least experienced Speaker

In over one hundred years.

 

Johnson, we know, was instrumental

In building a strong connection

With those who tried to change the results

Of the 2020 election.

 

To help explain societal ills,

Here's his contribution:

Mass shootings are the result

Of teaching evolution!

 

OMG! If you think things

Are bad right now, just wait.

To him there should be no separation

Between church and state.

 

Embracing right-wing culture wars,

Johnson's ready to fight

To push his crazy, extremist agenda

Instead of doing what's right.

 

MAGA extremists have taken the country

Hostage. It's sad but true.

Come on, House Republicans!

Is that the best you can do?
