I have written over 1,200(perhaps more) political poems and songs over the last 4 years. Besides being an artist/political cartoonist I am also a song writer and parody author of the Capitol Steps/Mark Russel type. However I do not perform. The biggest problem with parody humor is that linear minds tend to accuse me of believing in the jokes I write.
You name a topic and I already have a verse for it. From Anthrax to Zimbabwe I gottem all...copyrighted.
(to the snappy Martin Mull tune 'Jesus is Easy') The Anthrax song - the Uncommon Cold. by Don Hakman c 2001
I paid a toll, I got some change, I went to town and bought some stuff and then I took the train I ate a burger, a soda, and crap I shouldnt oughta, cuz now I got the anthrax and I'm wondrin where its from...
................ (CHORUS) Anthrax is easy when you're startin to sneeze your gonna wonder if you're gonna grow old. Anthrax is easy cuz its cured with Cipro and not contagious like the uncommon cold. ................
I went to work, and like a jerk, I used the water fountain and got somthin on my shirt and in a letter, I opened, I really should know better, but Ed McMann just said I'd won and now I'm wondrin where its from .. (chorus) I came home ,I used the phone, I called my doc in quarantine and asked him for some pills and in the bathroom, later, I used some toilet paper and I've got a sore not there before I'm wondrin where its from. (chorus) I watched the news, took off my shoes, I took a shower for an hour then I went to bed but in my dreams, I screamed , and then woke up Irene , then told her to beware the air I don't know where its from (chorus) In the morning, I got changed, I went to town and bought some stuff and then I took the train I ate a pizza, eclair, and some stuff that had grown hair but now I got the anthrax and I'm wondrin where its from...
Anthrax is easy if you're startin to sneeze your gonna wonder if you're gonna grow old. Anthrax is easy cuz its cured with Cipro and Its everywhere ,,,I'm telling ya they got anthrax.... every wheeeeere.

I have lots of original songs but people here will best hear in thier heads the tunes they already know, so here are some Muslim parody songs.(don't worry, I have some for each major religion)
I don't think I need to mention the melody that goes with these:
Think of your fellow man Cut off his thieving hand Put a lil Allah in your heart You see it's getting late Oh please don't hesitate Put a lil Allah in your heart And the world will be a bitter place And the world will be a bitter place For you and me You just wait and see
Another day goes by Circumsized children cry Put a lil Allah in you heart If you want the world to know Just let our jihad grow Put a lil Allah in your heart And the world will be a bitter place And the world will be a bitter place For you and me You just wait and see Wait and see Take a good look around And if you're lookin' down Put a lil Allah in your heart
I hope when you decide Islam will be your guide Put a lil Allah in your heart And the world will be a bitter place And the world will be a bitter place For you and me You just wait and see Put a lil Allah in your heart

I'd like to build the world a mosque And furnish it with faith Bring Africans and Chinamen And every other race
That's the call I hear That's the call of Islam That's the call of Iman That's the word of God
I'd like to see the world for once Without a single Jew Hear an echo through the hills "Islam Is pure and true”
That's the call I hear That's the call of Islam That's the call of Iman That's the word of God
I’d like to teach the world the truth And hear them praise their Lord To work and pray all God dam day And earn their just reward
That's the call I hear That's the call of Islam That's the call of Iman That's the word of God
==========
When the night has come And the land is dark And Islam Is the only, light we see
I won't cry, I won't cry No, I won't, shed a tear Just as long As I know Allah's near
Chorus: So sisters, brothers, kneel by me O, pray with me and kneel by me And believe, that Islam Sets us free
When the sky that we look upon Shall tumble and fall And the earth shall crumble 'neath the sea
In that time, we shall fear Only All ah And our deeds, of the past Will be clear.

pot song to "a few of my favorite things"
Pot makes you choke like a goat on galloshes Cost of the smoke could buy boats for your bosses, Go for a drive around paranoid town. These are the highs that will make you feel down.
When your lungs ache and you eat cake for a day, or two
Then you will know how pot improves your life Like when you have the flu.
da dea da dea da dea da dea da dea da da dea da dea da dea da dea da dea da da dea da dea da dea da dea da dea da dea da dea makes you forget the words
When the cops come for your freedom and you're thrown in jail
Your source for more pot will be better by far as you grow old and pale.
For internet forum adicts...
Get your puter runin Head out to the rec room Lookin for adventure and whoever’s in the chat room. Yeah darling gonna post some crap now Take e-world in a fake embrace Fire all of your puns at once And explode cyberspace.
Have a smoke and coffee Listen to a pop song Racin to get in with a feelin that I belong. Yeah darling gonna post some crap now Take e-world in a fake embrace Fire all of your puns at once And explode cyberspace
Unlike true nature’s child We are bored, bored to be wild We can feel complete I never wanna delete
Bored to be mild Bored to be mild Bored to be mild
I have even more non political verse...
Dancing by ones and zeros We traced outlines of who we were I was feeling kind of dizzy but I knew I wasn’t sure. Painting one last epic picture My heart open by a thread I considered one last cigarette I lit one full of dred.
And so I wandered and wondered Who we were supposed to be A vessel for the future or a branch upon a tree.
She said there is no reason Things will be as they will be But I wandered through my memories My dreams were there to see There were things I guessed correctly even Einstein would not deny. My mistakes were all forsaken Only truth poured through my eyes
And so I wandered and wondered Who we were supposed to be A vessel for the future or a branch upon a tree.
Or perhaps the saddest song you have ever heard.
To kill a child ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The baby's thrilled to walk Her eyes surprised with earthly delight. I melt with pride at her first free flight. On TV Dick Cheney chokes "We'll lose more lives here than those overseas" I believe he speaks of disease. A briefing at work today would make an athiest pray I am but bare brittle bone "Hon, can you put her on the phone?" An age of conquistadors When tribes were murdered 9 out of 10 from disease That cold history, now makes me freeze In sane times the insane mom would drown a helpless child. "Sweetie you're fine" I pretend Could I watch her agony to the end? Behind lead eyes I keep secret If she's a victim And the crime is small pox Could I end her torture at all costs? Baby remember when you walked? Shhh it'll be fine. Here honey take this, you will sleep. I'll be next, I'll not have long to weep,
I will close here since familiarity breeds contempt. I have been banned from over 20 websites due to my verses. As Bill Mahrer learned, there is always someone who will decide to take personal offense and ignore the joke.
