bern baby is the sort of shit wad
seat of the pants
"slow-cialist" rubber puck
that would take a relaxing deep breath
after they found rosa luxemburg
floating in a sewer
because it left him
free of any contrast
to his own
craven supine survivalist
shit wad profile
" stand up against the powerful corporate monied interests in Washington "
this despicable
fiend of the people
ranks near the very top
in lying low
he is as inert as a dingle berry
the senate will never notice he's there
