My girlfriend was a democrat

            With a small ‘D’

            Meaning that she believed strongly in

            Freedom of speech and all that

            Threatened to kick me out

            Unless I took it back

 

            So naturally I shut my trap –

            A small price for

            The right to bear her charms

 

            Now, I’m happy to report,

            I freely share

            Whatever thought, opinion, wish,

            Conjecture or surmise
