Gerrymander Poems | Examples


Premium Member ruler changes the rules

Just like a fan or bystander
In bleachers only to gander
We see D.T. cheat
And try to accrete
House box seats through gerrymander

KISSES...From the UNITED STATES...of HATE!

Only Some are Welcome...Don't get SORE!

We BRAG! and We Wave our FLAG!,

But...WE..Forgot What ..IT!...STOOD FOR!

The LAND of the FREE? The HOME of the BRAVE?

But...the List is short ..Who They Choose to SAVE!

We ALL...Break our BACKS!...For LOVE of COUNTRY!

YOU...GERRYMANDER...And RIG our COUNTY!

YOU...Prey on Our ANGST!, YOU...Prey on Our RAGE!

YOU...Put US in LINES...That's Wrapped in a CAGE!

WE...whimper and wilt÷...Just like a whipped pup...

YOU...Rake in the CA$H...and Divvy It UP^

IMMIGRANTS have COME...IMMIGRANTS have TRIED!

IMMIGRANTS have BLED...IMMIGRANTS have DIED!

But, Lest YE Forget...WE just Thought YE KNEW!

YOU ARE A PRODUCT...OF IMMIGRANTS TOO!!!

Maga Became Maggot and Did Tag It

a call had been close
after we would put on clothes
went out door we close

when we did tag it
MAGA became a maggot
applied tourniquet

would be sinister
sermon said by minister
about being spinster

what we knew for sure
increased our expenditure
for one more denture

we would meander
creating gerrymander
did raise up dander

poem would write to read
was great everyone agreed
did the dirty deed


What Did You Do

What did you do to be white
Why does that make you always right

Born into privileged by race
The humanity you disgrace

Two thirds a human being by law
Jim Crow skirting its flaw

Civil Rights codified by statue
Voting rights gerrymander by venue

Prison filled with poor black men
No bail plea bargaining innocent condemn

A cigarette a bag of skedaddles
A Black Lives matter a riddle

Choked to death at the hands of the law
An evil heart the white mans flaw

Do Away With Electoral College

Do Away With Electoral College

With others for office should fairly contend;
Remove electoral college and rules amend;
Take a gander,
At gerrymander;
We must only use popular vote in the end.

Jim Horn

Pander Republicans With Gerrymander

Pander Republicans with Gerrymander

We found Republicans to be a philanderer;
And presume do like to bother and pander;
Create pain;
Went insane;
Have gone far out and would gerrymander.

Jim Horn


Gerrymander Offers Predominance

well-tried trickery:
helps bogart most of the seats
with the least votes gained

Ways Which We Will Unravel

Ways Which We Will Unravel

Are some ways which we will unravel;
When in House hit head with a gavel;
Slander;
Gerrymander;
Then leave and on a long trip travel.

Jim Horn

Enough Tough Stuff That Is Rough

Each one of us did have enough,
Things that became tough stuff;
Hesitated,
Then devastated;
A poor golf game ending in rough.
