Marxism!
I sing The Internationale today
To honor leftist liberal pride
In the ancient Whiggery way
The Civil War went and nullified.
Now a Republican is do and die,
Irresponsibly with his gun,
Long before giving brains a try
At having any social fun
Poo-pooed by Nazi popery
And opting instead for ammo sales
Supporting honky snobbery
Or building surplus profiteer jails
For anybody unduly diverse,
Save for clergy too perverse,
Or any friendly oligarchs
Not liking Karl... or Groucho Marx!
