Hi Author... This is a great twist on Oklahoma! I love that you pitted the Democrats against the Republicans like the Cowboys and the Farmers. Brilliant analogy. :)

    Thank you so much. I was a little worried because it's not a well known song, but I took a chance. Thanks again for this wonderful six star review.

This well-written poem follows its chosen pattern and makes some strong,
timely points about the two major parties. The WALL is part of the most-
yelled battle cry. I feel deeply sorry for the refugees; however, I must add
that I have not contacted authorities and offered to house any of them!
All I know to do is pray about it!

A very well-written song about the poitical differences between the Republicans and democrats. The most important issue should be about the safety of usa citizens.

Close enough, and very good! I admire your sticktoitiveness.
(If a parody is making fun of something, this is no parody - and that's not a criticism of your fine and well-intentioned work.)

About state, status, stand and relation, need of working unification democratically, I liked and enjoyed this song and the message; well said, well done. Publish works that's readable every day and tomorrows -- DR ALCREATOR

I love the song you picked to write your poem to. This is a fantastic write. You covered ever aspect of our troubles with some humor and in a really interesting poetic form. Every word you speak here is absolute truth and fair in every way. The bottom line is that, despite differences, we need to find a way to get along. Like you say, Democrats should bend a little and Trump should lighten up somehow. It's all about compromise and there doesn't seem to be much of that going on.This is really a brilliant, intelligent piece of work and you show the versatility of poems and what a great poet can do with it.

This is a brilliant entry into the song parody contest! Definitely a winner! For anyone who loves musicals it flows so well with the song. I listened along with the song that was posted on the top of the poem. Very clever and humorous! Cant we all just get along? :)

Hi there,

Oh, this is so much better - and very clever. Don't you just wish you could really sing it somewhere where they just MIGHT listen.

Good luck in the contest~
