politics should be no-holds-barred
bare feet and knuckles fight
hidden shanks and blades OK
no mercy dirty fighting
only one party left standing
or
we can pass out life jackets
abandon this sinking ship
find the way to a new shore
then determine who plays the Howells
the Professor the Skipper and
all those Mary Anns and Gingers
we’ll build a new village and oh
I almost forgot we’ll need a Gilligan
to soften the inevitable disagreements
how else would we survive each other
without him doing something stupid
like trying to swim for help
and bringing back a raft of coconuts
with a monkey and him saying
I found bowling balls and this little fella
who says he’ll set the pins every Saturday night if
Mary Ann will make him one of her banana cream pies
*if you’re not familiar with it, Gilligan was the goofball on an American comedy show – Gilligan’s Island - from the 60’s with a group of diverse characters stranded on an island together
