Banned in Florida

Our library shelves are bare, with no books to share,

don’t you say it’s not fair, ‘cuz we don’t even care.

We won’t admit that our state waited so long to integrate.

it’s not so bad that we hate, those who got here late.

Rosa Parks wasn’t Black, she shoulda’ stayed in back,

and don’t be taken aback, by all the guns that we pack.

No guilt should we endure, when Ruby Bridges caused a stir,

it was just some racial slur, that Grandma yelled at her.

Disneyland is so woke, we’ll see that it goes broke,

their charter we’ll revoke, under our righteous cloak.

That Rebel flag is ours, though we have hidden the stars,

we still have the bars, denoting slavery’s scars.

Global Warming’s a joke, we hate it ‘cuz it is “woke”,

we don’t care if we croak, or the Glades go up in smoke.

Let no one take a knee, as we sink into the sea,

if you act differently, we’ll tell you where to pee.

And if you should say “Gay”, there’ll be hell to pay,

and oh, by the way, we will compel you to pray.

And it is our sacred right, to shoot up your Bud Light.

and if you give us a fright, we’ll shoot at you on sight.

You can also count on us, to control your uterus,

if you should make a fuss, we’ll throw you under the bus.

We’ve got our Mango Man, with his top-secret plan,

everything he’ll ban, except for the Ku Klux Klan.

Pudding Fingers is our Gov, he don’t like who you love,

he hears voices from above, but it’s not a heavenly dove.

At the only Circus in town, there’s our carnival barking clown,

our Condos are falling down, Gators and snakes abound.

We anxiously await each new ban, as more stuff hits the fan,

here comes Hurricane Stan, she might be some kinda’ Tran.

The Sunshine State will be fine, stuck where the Sun don’t shine,

as we slowly sink in the brine of our receding shoreline.
