Vander Platts' Complaint


Bob Vander Platts with no timidity
scorns the court which with unanimity
says Iowa’s constitution protects
the rights of us all in certain respects
including those of Tom, Dick and Harry
to choose whomever they want to marry.

It’s true that most marriages work like this:
A woman and man enjoy wedded bliss.
That works well for Bob so he wants to say
that everyone else must do it his way.
But that’s where the constitution comes in
prohibiting laws that make it a sin
for some to have different priorities
than those of Bob’s vocal majorities.

Still VanderPlatts  says that he’ll take a pass
on this ruling by the bad ruling class.
Fact is, regardless of how it irks Bob,
the judges were only doing their job.
