And the chickens and pigs

they’re eating the cows!

and the chickens
and the pigs

they are inside
our country

in fact they were
born here

they have flags
on their lawns

and rifles in their
bedrooms

a couple of them
tried to kill a
presidential
candidate who
is screaming
about immigrants
eating dogs and
cats and probably
other things

the one whose
VP pick is making
the TV rounds saying
they made it up
whole cloth for
attention*

JD Pants

anyway, don’t let them
distract you, because —

they’re eating the cows!

those accommodating
animals who make all
of your milk, butter,
cheese, and ice cream
