my delicate condition

My gynecologist called;
I tested positive
Surgery is scheduled for 3:00 tomorrow
emergency hysterectomy
the condition may just be fatal:

I have a republican in my uterus.

It all started with a drink
doesn't it always?
tainted koolaid tastes so good
made family values go right down
usually I choke on their propaganda
he didn't use a condom--
trying to outlaw birth control, you know
said I shouldn't have spread my legs to start
I confuse the issue saying he forced himself in
but what does my pretty female mind know
at least while he's in my uterus
he does the thinking for me

I saw him on the ultrasound
I was hoping for a tumor
it's easier reasoning with tumors
than politicians
especially once they're in your uterus
I'm just glad he wasn't deciding the fate
of the contents of my rectum

but when I think about the contents of my rectum
and the politician who invaded my body
it seems, for him, a much more fitting home.
