Author’s Note: Like 2016 and 2020, we got ourselves an Empire infestation in 2022.

Unbollweevilable Times

Boll weevils told Georgia farmers
“You better treat us right
We’ll eat up all of your cotton
Sleep in your grain rail tonight”

Boll weevils told Georgia farmers
“You don’t need no Ford machine
We’ll eat up all of your cotton
Won’t need to buy no expensive gasoline”

Here come northern political spiders
Crawling up and down our streets and houses’ walls
They’s trying
To boost their parties’ voter hauls

We cain’t see no water
But we’re about to drown
We cain’t see no fire
But we’s burning down

Political boll weevils ain’t got no natural home here. Lordie lord
Carpet baggin bugs, from up north where I was born n bred. Lordie lord
Boll weevils, political bugs, man, Georgia’s not their native home. Lordie lord
They come to eat our cotton and corn bread. Lordie lord

Boll weevils left the north, Lord, not even saiyng “fare ye well.” Lordie lord
Crossed Virginia and the Carolinas, gonna give Georgia hell. Lordie lord
Well, we saw these door to door weevils a-circling in local Georgia air. Lordie lord
The next time we seed em, Lord, carpet baggin political weevils bothering families next door. Lordie lord

Postscript: Yeah, forty plus years ago we had our blue dogs and right minded southern Democrat boll weevils; but, they dint plague our front porches, eat our food or take our stuff.

Not so evil, jumping motorcycle ridin’ Evel Boll Weevil

There weren’t any Republicans in George Washington’s day. No Republican or Democrat canvassers, no Boll Weevils, no income taxes, no cover charges, no disarmament treaties, no luncheon or book clubs, no stop lights, no static at all , no commutes, no head or tail winds. Living during those days was great. Lordie lord.
