   "Iron Bishop:  Book of Reptiles"
   
Encompassed in the beauty of poverty,
I thanked the American Maker further for my pseudo-chastity;
Next, approaching my rural lawn
Arrived Clovis--looking cool like Captain Solo dubbed Han.
He offered a beer and broke the ice,
Informing why Faulkner was not so drunk as nice:
"The South had courage and was brave."
Clovis further, silent while mind-melding a crashing wave:
The South though, lacked pity and mercy,
Not having the progressive sorrow of the poet Percy;
Moreover, that is why the Beyond-Cosmic-Organism allowed them to lose the Civil War,
Not wanting the chained-captivity of any innocent girl;
Plus, now:  The South still does crush what is right,
Such as a sick man's inflamed or anxious plight,
While President Obama allows every State its might
To prescribe Medical Nature for a body's need to have an organic friend in the fight.
Then, Clovis further explained:
As President Reagan pondered if THEY'RE already among us,
Lt. Governor Ramsey is sure to cuss--
My son, I say he's a reptile--
Nah, not enough cunning to the gorgeous State of Tennessee beguile.
