Joe's CornPop Story Appears to be True

 
Joe Biden tells this fanciful tale of how he stood up to a razor-wielding gang member named "CornPop. Well, people ridicule him for lying, suggesting the story is all made up. Perhaps they shouldn't. He has witnesses who indicate the story is true. You shouldn't call him a liar if you have no more to go by than to say, That sounds too good to be true. 

To begin with, a newspaper obituary has been found for a William L. "CornPop" Morris. So, it appears such a guy really did exist. He died in 2016 at age 73. That lines up with Biden's story.

Second, folks who lived in Wilmington, Delaware, where it all took place -- people who were there -- are witnessing that it was true. Add to that that there's been someone who investigated it, and found evidence to substantiate it.

The story reflects well on Biden. If this is who the guy is, yes, we should like him. Here's a man of high morals and character. Why should we not want to elect such people?

CornPop

In the legend of Joe Biden
There's the story of CornPop
Joe took him on
CornPop was the bad guy
And Joe played the cop

Mean as nails
Tough as tar
CornPop took to doing whatever he wanted
No one could stop his car

Joe was a lifeguard
He told divers what to do
And you had to wear a baby cap
Or your diving time was through

"Get down off that board"
Joe shouted out
And while CornPop got off the board
You should hear what came about

Meet you outside
Outside the gate
CornPop challenged him
A fight would be the fate

CornPop had some buddies
Ready to bloody Joe
They were carrying straight razors
And the harm that those can do, you know

Joe had a buddy
The mechanic at the pool
He told Joe just what to do
And to keep his cool

The mechanic cut a piece of chain for him
Here, use this in your fight
Tell CornPop he just might cut you
But the chain will wrap around his neck so tight

So Joe walked out to meet him
Meet old CornPop
But he was wise enough to talk down that mean dude
Instead of calling him porkchop

Joe had called him Esther Williams
When CornPop was on the diving board
And so he apologized
In order to reach a peace accord

But I don't apologize for asking you to get off
From diving in the pool
And I'd have to do it again
'Cause, CornPop, that's just the rule

Well, CornPop said, You really mean that?
And put his straight razor away
And that is the story
Of how Joe saved the day

 
Because America Matters

Because America matters
That's why I vote for Joe
I cast my vote for freedom
When these two go toe-to-toe

Joe is part hero
He's done things that are so nice
But Donald's simply not so good
He's just a man of vice

I'll take my vote and cast it
For an American type of guy
And hope dictator Trump fades away
Hope he goes bye-bye

 
 
Go North

Go north, young man
Climate change is telling us
Go north

We've settled out across the land
To Californy we've sallied forth

Phoenix, St. George
Other places too
But the Colorado River
Is a river we've outgrew

Go north
If water is more plentiful
Go north to frozen land
Go north to Alaska
Leave behind the desert sand

Let the Colorado River
Supply our breadbasket farms
70 percent of the water
Is needed for those charms

Let the farmer learn new watering ways
Drip irrigation or whatever else
But let him have what water he needs
To take care of himself

What's left, then, remains for city-dwelling
But be frugal of lush green lawns
Still conserve, still be wise
Don't practice water wrongs

And, when all your water's claimed
Then building moratoriums come about
And force the population
To go out and look about

Maybe it forces you north
Just as far as Montana
But go north, young man
Even if  all the way to Canada

 
Abortion

Ah, but then there's abortion
You cannot vote for him
They use it as a shoehorn
To force my foot into a shoe that's too thin

I sometimes wonder if there are those
Who plot this whole thing out
Persuading every Democrat
That abortion is something they can't do without

Then they toss a candidate at us
One with no morals at all
His words and actions scream of tyranny
Ominous signs of our nation's fall

They box us in a corner
Persuade us we have no choice
If we don't vote for their man Trump
Our nation is doomed to abortion and pro choice

Yes, sometimes I think they planned it
Planned it all along
Planted seeds favoring abortion
In those who will hear their song

It doesn't need to be this way
You can stand for truth and freedom, I say
So, I beg you as a candidate
To renounce abortion this very day

We Should Tip Our Hat

You learn about our presidents
When you learn about their pasts
And the things they did for others
Are things that should really last

For example, take Joe Biden
And one of his first jobs
For you learn about a person's character
By seeing with whom it is that he hobnobs

Joe lived in suburbia
And watched Martin Luther King on TV
And his heart bled for the Black people
And he wished they were more free

Just a high school senior
When he went looking for some work
And he decided he wanted to work among Black people
Believing that would be the greatest perk

The job was at a swimming pool
And all the other guards were Black
And Joe took it as an honor
That they had each other's backs

What kind of character
Does it take to seek out a job like that?
It seems we should give him credit
And we should tip our hat

 
Monster from the Deep
 
With apologies
Trump, himself, is the Swamp Monster
He speaks of cleaning out the swamp
Oh, the irony
As the Swamp Monster climbs to the balcony

I saw him down in the marsh
Saw him emerge from the deep
Green slime hanging from his arms
Have you ever seen such charms?

He came into our city
Came into our land
Climbed onto the balcony of America
Creating all this hysteria

I have never understood
The people cheering from the streets
Cheering on the Swamp Monster
How can they worship this dreadful mobster lobster?

Cunningly, we Maintain a System of Havoc at the Border

It's not how many agents you have at the border, not how many officers are watching and and ready to haul you in. No, not at all. Rather, it is the court administrators. It is the number of people you have to process the people in.

Many of the people who arrive at America's borders surrender themselves, probably the good chunk of them do. Seeking asylum, they come to the border in hopes of being "caught," if you can call it that. You don't need to go searching them out to arrest them. They are willing volunteers in turning themselves in. The asylum process is set up that way. So, how many officers does it take to round up people who are volunteering to be caught, who are rushing into the net?

No, the problem doesn't set in until you begin processing the people in. The important number is not how many border patrol agents you have, but how many court administrators you have. That is where the bottleneck is.

Have you ever -- I mean, ever -- heard how many are employed right in our immigration courts, how many people are staffing our immigrant court system? Maybe that is because we aren't recognizing that that is where the bottleneck is, that is where the problem lies. What a rather blind nation we are. We scream about how our borders are being overwhelmed with applicants wanting to come here, then we fail to see how the problem can be solved.

Yes, we should question our collective intelligence.

Now, if you don't want immigrants -- if your focus isn't on separating those who should be here from those who should not, but rather just on keeping them all out -- then your purpose is best served by preserving the bottleneck. Keep the havoc as the order of the day. Chaos at the border creates outrage in the populace. You can stir the people up against people coming to our country.

Politics over justice, is that what you want? Because it's what you've got.
