Am I just a little strange?

Don't have an imaginary friend, but my REAL friend helped me build the engine (& tranny & transfer case etc.) it took a while though, he snagged a horn on the engine stand & his wings kept getting in the way!
He assures me that all my mental problems are in my imagination!
He also assures me that he wiped all the bearing shells clean (after something corrosive & toxic accidentally dripped out of one of his fangs!).

Got bored one day & decided to look into your Constitutional amendments.
Not jeep related, but you might like it!


A (not too serious) look at The Amendments to the US. Constitution.


One, is Religion & speech & the press.

Two, is for pistols (& rifles I guess)

Three, are the soldiers, outside my doors,

Four, search & seizure (& probable cause)

Five, is indictment & eminent Domain,
Due process (& not cause myself any pain)

Six, is my right to a legal defence,
To confront my accuser, (with twelve of my friends?)

Seven, is the jury trial (Civil of course)
Enacted according to the Common Laws

Eight, is the cruel & unusual jail,
Excessive fines & exhorbitant bail.

Nine, is “Power to the People” it’s said
(now try to rhyme un-enumerat-ed !)

Ten, limits power to the “Fed” institution
In doubt, just refer: The US Constitution !

Eleven, for foreigners & those out of state,
Sovereign immunity ! Can’t litigate.

Twelve, is procedure (& also protections)
Revising the rules for Presidential elections

Thirteen, What humanitarians crave,
Abolish the workers unpaid, (therefore slave!)

Fourteen, defines all a citizens rights
Post, civil war issues, North & South no longer fight.

Fifteen, is suffrage, do not be rude,
About race, or color, or previous servitude.


Sixteen, the Federal Government was lax,
They need more money “so collect income tax”

Seventeen, the people must be protected
So Senators now are directly elected.

Eighteen, is alcohol, Volstead I fear,
Denied us the right to go out for a beer.

Nineteen, for women was long overdue
They get to vote just the same now, as you.

Twenty, for Congress, January three.
Jan twenty for Presidents (Lame Ducks agree)

Twenty one, repeals eighteen, so don’t raise a stink
Now that all adults can legally drink.

Twenty two, Irrespective of Presidents past,
A max of two terms (F.D.R.s was the last!)

Twenty three, now the voters can jump up with glee,
Electoral College in Washington DC.

Twenty four, is for poll tax unpaid, (get a note)
But they still can’t deny you the right to a vote.

Twenty five, is for Tyler & his precedent,
It defines who succeeds a removed President.

Twenty six, says “at eighteen although you can’t drink”
You now have the vote (that’s progress I think!)

Twenty seven, is for Congress, their pay you’ll agree
May not be affected ‘till January three.

There are six more still pending ‘though two have expired’
Equal rights, DCs voting,( now I’m getting tired)
Corwin’s amendment should be struck from the scene
And so should child labor now that is just mean!
Congressional Apportionment, may be that’s a thought
But Dukes in the US. ? will surely come to naught !

I think my pc has a mind of it's own, (I sometimes wish I had) I might have doubled a post, if so, apologies!
