The Closeted Koch Brothers
The Koch ballet vs. the Koch AFP

What kind of closet are the Koch Brothers in
That the media thinks they ought to admit
The extent of their ultra right wing financing?
Don't recipients know they're a bottomless pit

With more than enough to fund their own agenda?
But the Kochs need the troops their donees provide.
So why be so secretive? Why stay in the closet?
From whom and from what are they trying to hide?

Don't Tea Party activists know two billionaires
Are providing the moolah so they can persist?
Sure, shill for the brothers? Your bills will be paid for.
Just treat each non-believer as a damn Bolshevist.

Tea Parties are fine, but this isn't Britain.
Even the Kochs like a good coffee klatch,
And find immortality doesn't come cheap
If you're from Kansas and starting from scratch.

Koch profits from Brawny have secretly backed
The Americans for Prosperity advocacy group
While openly buying the naming rights to
New York City Ballet's home. How low can they stoop?

Why secretly fund libertarian chaos,
Then turn around and finance the ballet?
What will the Koch brothers legacy be?
Liberal gifts or April Fool's Day?
