allegory

one wicked witch is most sincerely dead
at once the fight is joined to claim her shoes
that twister dropped a farm-house on her head
in settlement for her life's karmic dues
toute-suite her sister-monster must arise
as sure as Reagan's succeeded by Bush
to give away what he can't privatize
to pauper many but make his life cush
an allegory about FDR
and arcane monetary policy
invites interpretations near and far
by those who'll see what they prefer to see
to fill in what's left vacant on the page
invites midrashim from both fool and sage
