there is nothing finer than

making truth the boogie man.

On the internet of things

talk of cabbages and kings

skewed to show statistics bent

throws the naive off the scent.

Extravagance of claims provides

conservatives with easy rides

into public thought and deed

Reading their stuff, I suppose

it is time for UFO's

to invade our helpless nations

and to force rude vaccinations.

*

Or that microchips will be

in our french fries and chili

so that Big Tech will control

all our heart and mind and soul

Cranks and crackpots are well paid

for their mental Gatorade

posted on new platforms that

are just talking through their hat.

*

The public seems to eat it up,

and so let's give a loving cup

to those who know the truth but say

that black is white and night is day!
