Long Division

If the national pastime is long division

Then so is the process of historical revision

But ask any normal shell, they’ll say baseball

Praise the LORD, there is competence after all

Maybe there was a conspiracy or a big frame-up

But to fool the thousand-fold more, no such luck

What is not there, what hasn’t yet been revealed?

Maybe these shadow-mongers are mentally repealed

The towers brought down by remote-controlled planes

Sorry, not debunked, you are hereby called validly insane

An inside job, are you a follower of Alex Jones?

He’s pompous and his conspiracy theories are overblown

Like Noam Chomsky, he’s a master of the cut and paste

Poking around, prodding with a camera is such a waste

Like Michael Moore, they lack clarity and have no taste

Some people have had their mental faculties erased

Yeah, post your theories and make your rants, you have that right

But, I choose to keep my eyes away from your line of sight

It’s ironic that he has a place titled PrisonPlanet

He’s caught in his own prison, you can’t plan that

Like a quotient to a division problem you don’t know

Don’t follow that song and dance, it’s just a lame show

Damn! You see, I LIKE conspiracy theories. Tin foil hat stuff makes up some of the most entertaining stuff out there. No matter how frightful they may be, they imply something very comforting: Someone is actually in control. Love these rhyming couplets today.
