This war of limericks makes it clear that politics and religion are actually the only topics that should be discussed at family gatherings.
Please enjoy this 3.5 minute excerpt from the surrealistic, award-winning podcast Miss Experience White with Erik Ian Walker on piano, with sound design by Jim McKee.
Thanksgiving with the Whites
“There once were some thankless brats,
Who buzzed and whined like gnats!”Daddy Demon shouts out,
Old snout in a pout,
“But I made them all scaredy cats!”“Oh, but gnats are almost extinct!”
The Fire Children sing with a wink,
“You made it too hot,
You stupid big shot,
Your religion and revenues stink!”“You insult the rich at your peril!
You are Godless, socialist, and feral!
The rich will provide,
But not to the snide.
Go race ‘round a rodeo barrel!”“Well I would, but I injured my neck.
Got addicted then fell into debt.
What Jesus would do
Would not be like you,
Tearing down our entire safety net!”“So now you’re some kind of Christian?
You once said the Bible was fiction.
Look at our money.
God’s on it, honey.
Stop talking in self-contradiction.”“Ever heard of the Constitution?
What began our whole evolution?
We do separate
Our churches from state,
Hence the whole bloody Revolution!”“What a load of liberal vanity!
Conservatives value humanity!
Ban abortion always!
No marriage for gays!
Bring America back to sanity!“If sanity had much to do with it,
You’d never sell guns to a lunatic!
I see your brain shrinking—
A reptile is winking!
You’d probably say racism’s over with it.“Well I’m not a racist, but
Some people are running amok.
They’re trying to oppress us
With political correctness
They’d better not push their damn luck!“Or what?
What the hell does that mean?
How fragile is your self-esteem?
Please try a vegetable.
Change is inevitable.
Don’t mess with the voting machines!“The Mexicans stole our jobs!
Behold the invading mobs!
What they’re doing is heinous,
Crawling up in our anus!
They’re terrorists with kebabs!“Infectious old Mr. Bigot!
It’s past time we closed your spigot!
No place for you here,
Or anywhere near.
You’re terminal, can ya dig it?”
