The Man-Child of Montgomery: A Rattle-Shaking Rampage for the Toy He Covets ​

By Christopher M Peeks January 24, 2026

​Sitting in an office with nannies all around trying to comfort the toddler needing a change, he screams, "Mine! Mine!" Reaching out from his Secretary of State’s office towards the office of the Lt. Gov., the toy he covets, little Wessy Allen throws an emotional tirade at those around him.

​The little baby screams about how important he is and that the meanies are taking away what he claims belongs to him. He needs his nap as his shrill voice gets higher, screaming, "No, Nehemiah! NO,Nehemiah!"

​Throwing his rattle, the cry now echoes as the tantrum reaches a fever pitch about his betrayal by John Wahl and how he is going to hurt Republicans down the ballot. In stark reality, the only Republican whose chances are hampered is the snot-nosed kid screaming about others playing the very game he is.

​Senator Daddy, as always, comes in to try to console his little boy; he wraps him in his blanket and puts him in his crib, but the boy is having none of it. "WAAH! WAAH!" the man-child’s lungs exhale.

​The spoiled, rotten little fella deserves no coddling as he hurled his juice box at one of his caretakers; he requires what all brats need after pitching a fit. They should be taken out to the woodshed. Come next May, the voters are going to do just that and take their belt to Wes Allen.
