50 SHADES OF KITTY
I was 50 shades of grey before it was in style
I choose my humans very carefully
Train them so as to obey me
I do not need a whip, even if they remove my claws
Payback is something a cat lives for
So when you are having a good time
Leaving me alone without my favorite tuna
This is what I will do to torture you mentally
I will sleep on your pillow and the couch
Knock that vase accidentally off the mantle
Roll the toilet paper all over the house
Sleep on your computer and eat the mouse
I will push a banana near the kitchen door
You will fall on it when you come in from the garage
Finally you know that expensive dress
It is now a torn up mess
Finally do not look at me
As I look at you so innocently
You know those two stupid dogs
Really cannot be disciplined
As for me, look at my face
Would you judge me guilty of any sin?

Ed watched his prey intently, trying to see any weaknesses he could push if it came to a fight, a brother of the bud only uses guns as a last resort, but he had the badge tonight and that’s all he needed. The man stopped for a smoke underneath an awning at the side of an alley, “Hi Joey” said a voce from behind him, the cigarette fell slowly out of his mouth, “Joey I am not someone you want to mess with,” he flashed the badge in a lit window so joey only saw that and no other part of his profile, “I am in your world and against it, the name weird is whispered in your circle I promise, and one thing I don’t like is someone contaminating my city’s crops. The hallucinogenic liquid you used to double your profit recently caused 4 people to almost die of heart failure, I hope you know that. I do not work the same way as a regular cop, you have one shot, stop selling and donate you untainted crops to the underground farmland. After that under a new name of your choosing you will join the inner of inner most crop circles and work for the farmland to prepare for the great giving when we legalize kushion. Tell them Ed Weird sent you, if I don’t have this confirmed in 3 days I will return, in this time ask around about me and tell anyone who doesn’t know, do not fuck with my city or its people, goodbye joey.” And with that Ed turned, raised his hood and walked away quietly, Joey felt a warm trickle down his leg “bugger I pissed myself” he whispered softly, actually what really happened is much funnier. What joey did not realize was that while he was paralyzed in fear a stray dog had taken a piss in a hole in his trouser leg,

Sorry its a little vague, you said satire something popular so I decided to satire the culture of smoking weed, sorry if I missed the mark here

You said politics, weed has been a political hot spot for the past decade at least so I would say my entry is valid to be honest, also that paragraph is taken from a book I'm writing which is a satire on the political movement to legalize marijuana. This is also a popular topic at the minute as they did just legalize it in certain states in America. Just because I wrote about something original instead of satirizing 50 shades of grey (this is an example not a slight as 50 shades of kitty was cute to the point of cheating lol) doesn't make that entry invalid I just went a little bit more of a creative route with the whole thing.

Okay, I see that you're from Canada. I don't know if legalizing marijuana is a big deal there, but it's not something you see on the news here in the states very often. So, when I read that, I didn't realize that's what you meant on the politics idea. If you've seen the Scary Movie franchise, that's what I was looking for. That is the basis for satire. I'm not sure if anyone has hit the mark on what I was looking for, but it could've been worse, and neither of the entries were bad, just a little lacking.
