About Alligators, Porcupines and Buttons

The importance of buttons is significant Strung out on a thin thread of thought Through the eye of a needle too small to close For a camel to go through but why would they? In Florida, sex with wild animals is illegal Porcupines and alligators are not for people According to the law it is also wrong And this is not California It is wrong to marry outside your species But what about buttons and their needs Ordinary inanimate objects require protection From human predators under the law Buttons can't testify in court But they are still in danger Who are we to question legislators Who have our best interest at heart Thank goodness for politicians who think for us Without holes you would have no buttons Without buttons you have no holes to close Case closed *Authors note: The fact is; Florida still has a law on the books in 2018 that makes it illegal to have sexual relations with alligators and porcupines. I want to thank them for that. Who knows what we might do if left to our own devices in the woods. (They should update the law to include marriages to wild species in the state, in keeping with modern norms.) Our legislators have a continued concern for public safety. They protect us from the unthinkable, from perhaps plausible notions of deviant behavior. They protect us from activities they assign to us, their constituents, such proclivities to the absurd, that can only leave us in wonderment. We thank them one and all for that as well. Our tax dollars hard at work as usual.
