An organizer named Tyler
Knew action caused change to occur
So he inspired others
He stirred sisters and brothers
And a Blue wave was coming for sure
I’m grateful for your readership! Check back with me each week here at politicalpoetrypastiche as my linguistic, literary, and generally loquacious involvement in local politics takes on a mélange of prose and poetry genres.
A politician who was named Eric
Had a flair for all things numeric
District 12 was the hood
‘Ere he did so much good
And his hugs were without compare-ic
In South Asia, we say her name “SUFF-a”
But EFL-speakers love to say “SAAF-a”
After all, that’s good too
‘Cuz in Gujrati and Urdu
It’d translate to mean that she’s “CLEAN-a”
An innocent grin
A 16-person win
And that’s how she do
But she’s not about spin
She’ll ask you to please come and phone bank
And when you say, “yes,” she’ll make sure to thank
She’s got a big mouth, too
Knows how to make you cuckoo
Though her sass is merely a prank
A lawyer whose name was Moreno
At making me laugh he was bueno
He advocated
For immigrant kids
Without him, I’d start having FOMO
