A is America the best country to be found
Where everything's big and people are round
B is bigotry our deep cultural hate
An absence of rights if your not white, male and straight
C is cheeseburgers in which I could drown
The cheddar so tasty the patty so brown
D is the democratic party the very worst one
They take our money and take our guns
E is for eagle a truly 'murican word
A noble creature and the national bird
F is foreigners who take away jobs
from honest hardworking American slobs
G is guns our national pride
Which are totally okay to conceal or hide
H is hunting I could do all day long
Killing animals ain't morally wrong
I is Iraq man we screwed that up bad
We bombed the crap out of the city Baghdad
J's justice whatever that means
Why watch news when you can watch pregnant teens
K's for kids the future they hold
Who can kill but can't drink til twenty one years old
L's legislature we have more than one
Although they seem not to get anything done
M is for meat you can eat it, you can stabbit
The only things that eat veggies are hippies and rabbits
N's for Nixon and his undeserved hate
He's not that bad if you look past watergate
O is for our beautiful country I'll say it once more
Freedom and liberty are what we stand for
P is for pickup trucks the most American vehicles there are
Only liberals and hippies drive hybrid cars
Q is quantity make the most the as fast as you can
Or your job will be outsourced to China or Japan
R is Republican who are also unnesecarily hated
Just because their policies are backwards and outdated
S is soccer not football I don't care what Europeans say
It's pronounced soccer not any other way
T is for tort- I mean advanced interrogation
Which we claim not to do as a civilized nation
U is unique yes we are indeed one of kind
In what other country such gluttony can you find
V is for violent video games
On which all are problems can be blamed
W is Washington D.C.
Our country's capital city
X is xenophobia the fear of  people outside
We built a wall and made it three feet wide
Y is you which Uncle Sam needs
To have your limbs blown off over seas
Z is for the orphans of  Zimbabwe; the sympathy we feel
But won't go as far as providing a meal

I am not American and there are certain things here that I do not understand, but I found the poem very, very enjoyable nonetheless, truly a breathe of fresh air. Thank you for writing this!
