Quatrain of Mental Disorder

Mental Disorder - anyone who wishes to
raise my taxes

If I could impeach your thoughts,
make you spend time reviewing
political lunacy you've
formed as an idea,

If I could place you on trial and
explain the evidence of idiocy
you have mounted, as
if you had
diarrhea.

If I could jar a pint of reality into
your skull and teach you the
error of misguided logic
you learned in
school,

I would be king of debaters and
turn the world upside down,
so when I pay my taxes I
wouldn't feel the
fool.
