[Poem] Here's to the Orphans

 by Emmit Other

Here's to the lost ones

That slipped through the cracks

The people who struggle in shadow

We all know them except when we don't

They haven't lowered their shields

Where we can see

Abused and attacked 

They struggle and mend

On the side of the angels

But no one on which to depend

They likely have helped us

At work or at home

But these allies who need us

Can sometimes go it alone

They don't want to be a burden

They don't want to make drama

They just get a battle of wine

And marathon a show streaming o Rama

Reach out and ask

How your friends are all doing

Those who know me and read this

Reach out at your leisure

I am always willing to listen

Be there when able

For no one should spend the holidays alone

Unless

Of course

You are a fucking Nazi

Merry Christmas to all

And to all a Good Night

Be a light in the darkness

And fight the good fight

[Poem] Eating Dogshit

 By Emmit Other

When I was five

Bullies dared me to eat Dogshit

And I did

And you never forget the taste

Ever

Cleaning bathrooms

Every weekend

At the Student Center

In college 

Was a breeze

Because human shit is nothing

Compared to Dogshit

In 2016

Americuh

Ate Dogshit

And then in 2024

Elected

To eat

Dogshit

In a second giant heaping

Thanksgiving portions

Bowl

Tonight

Before they even start

The gubbamint is brokeded

There is no plan

There are no consequences

So the next time

You salute the flag

Thank someone for their service

Put your hand over your heart for the pledge

Sing the nationalz anthethemz

Know

You are honoring

A nation

That eats dogshit

And 

Likes it

I was five

Americuh has no such excuse

[Poem] The Anti George

 By Emmit Other

What if

In some other reality

Clarence was sent to someone like Mr Potter

And Mr Potter liked this new world better

And stuck around

And made it into Pottersfield
