Fisking the Establishment

Fisking the Establishment's

Like goosing a prudish prig.

Senses shocked, ghost crashes roof

Screaming God's vengence.

Fisking the Establishment

Frazzles nice citizen nerves.

Citizen needs police protection

Against pink man with big idea

That blasting and burning people

Is not a nice way

To win a lasting peace,

Or even a cease-fire.

Fisky Pink's ammunition

Is well-chosen words

And a caloused cheek

Ready to turn again

In the cause of peace.
