As football players started kneeling when our Anthem rung
They started a new tradition that affects both old and young.
On high school fields across the land, our youth on bended knee
On Friday nights defied their coach and many faculty.
It spread to the lacrosse fields and the baseball diamond too.
And soccer players sneered at our dear red and white and blue!
Soon no one was standing when our Anthem filled the air.
Some were really protesting (and some just didn’t care.)
And then no one was standing for the POTUS -- goodness sake!
His tweets at last exposed him as a lightweight and a fake.
And then the Pope and Putin got the treatment, just the same.
It seemed that ev’rybody had to play the sit down game.
No flag or creed or anthem was thus spared this awful curse.
The people did not rise up -- what they did was far far worse.
For at the Second Coming when the angels blew their trumps,
The world would not get up at all but stayed upon their rumps!
