  "textContent": "America the Beautiful;\nDepends where you’re standing.\n\nGod bless the U.S.;\nDepends which one.\n\nFrom sea to shining sea;\nDepends on the latest oil spill.\n\nOil burns bright, so do wildfires.\nThe torch on Ellis Island was never lit.\n\nProbably why she turned green, got sick from the cold,\nOr ate something that turned her stomach.\n\nBad French Fries, maybe.\nCall ‘em _frites_ over there.\n\nA little redundant calling them _Français Frites_.\n\nThough, sometimes a patriotic adjective is helpful.\nThere’s splendor, then there’s American Splendor.\n\nA work of literature or...\n\nMaybe, metaphorically, a poetic name\nFor Lady Liberty’s torch...\n\nIf we could only light it.\n\nBut, then, perhaps it would be French Splendor,\nAs she was a gift from France.\n\nSo, Liberty is a French woman with cleanly shaven armpits,\nStanding on an island in New York with an impotent torch,\nAnd some book Napoleon used to stand on to address his armies.\n\nHe was short.\nLittle man syndrome.\n\nDefinitely not as tall as the woman who holds the book\nSent over to give us our impotent torch of liberty.\n\nCopper goes green behind the ears after a while, evidently.\nFrench Fries go green if you don’t peel them or cook them enough.\n\nA slightly copper colored fry is best.\nSlightly crisped on the outside to protect the soft white center.\n\nSometimes a bruised potato shows up and the fry turns black,\nDeflates a bit, and can’t protect the soft white center.\n\nIt holds nothing of presupposed value being black and blue\nBefore it had a chance to cook to the right temperature.\n\nMight as well hold a bruised French Fry over Liberty’s impotent torch\nAnd try to make it of nutritional value to the American eating it.\n\nMaybe raise the nutritional bar...\n\nThey only eat _Frites_ in France where\nBruised done right is for a five-star gourmet soiree.\n\nThey call Paris the City of Love, but ‘Eiffel’ is not something you want\nThe world’s most notorious phallic symbol saying on a honeymoon night.\n\nQuite an awful thing to hear your tower sing:\n\n_‘Oui, oui, Eiffel!’_\nOn your honeymoon.\n\n_Oui! Oui!_ for Lady Liberty’s impotent torch.\nGreen obscene _frites_ for treats on Coney Island\n\nSounds fair real newsie to me.\n\nLet Freedom’s Onion ring for your attention!\nCracked Liberty Bell peppers and all.\n\n~ Wynn ~",
