This Couple Opens Up A Shop

This Couple Opens Up A Shop

This couple opens up a shop

For baking cakes and pastry

When customers come in to drop

A bomb upon their bakery—

Though not in practice, God forbid

As it was only, so to speak,

Yet, nonetheless, it’s what they did

By coming to occasion seek.

They forced the bakers to provide

A cake whereby to celebrate

Each taking her prospective bride

(As both are girls at any rate)

Through holy matrimony wed

To one another for the sake

Of getting together in one bed—

So as to get a wedding cake.

Well, as you know, the customers,

Who had a great relationship,

Although, for better or for worse,

Were also shouldering a chip,

Demanding that the bakers bake

A cake to make a Federal case, 

For Love’s, and Litigation’s sake

And also to be “in-your-face”

These lovers loved each other so

They knew a lesbian romance

A Christian couple should forgo—

But an agenda’s to advance—

That bakery in conscience could

Not practically participate

And bake, implicitly, what would

Enable them to celebrate,

So, as expected they refused

To bake a cake with dolls on top;

Then claiming they had been abused

They sued the bakers of the shop,

Who, at the same time, being sued

For turning customers away,

Were punished for their attitude

About a couple that was gay.

So after that the State stepped in

To fine the couple for a stand

(That’s their effrontery, their sin)—

A hundred & thirty-five grand.

So that you see, gay rights today

Has nothing else but what to do

With taking people’s rights away

From little guys like me and you. 

This isn’t “rights” and “tolerance” 

“Gay rights” are actually about,

Nor “love’s adventure of romance”

But ruling others’ freedoms out,

Denying those the right of speech,

Unable to express their views,

Or put in practice what they preach

And not to bake if they refuse.

Because it’s not the cake at stake,

But it’s the State itself compels

The little folks who won’t forsake

Their God for whatsoever else

The State demands they have to bake,

That makes a case of it in court,

For rights the government would take

Away for livelihoods to thwart;

On top of which to make them pay

A fine as further punishment,

Which also goes to show the way

This wasn’t just by accident,

Since all shall have to pay the price

Upon the bakers was imposed,

Who—punished for their enterprise—

Had a family bakeshop closed.
