This is an apparently rather controversial poem that I wrote a few weeks ago and posted on my Facebook page. It generated so much conversation, that I have decided to post it on my blog as well.
“Yes, We Can!”
“Come get your government hand-out!”
Hear your Uncle Sammy shout.
“Stimulous and stimuli,
Ain’t I just the nicest guy?”
“Need a bail-out, two, or three?
Who needs responsibility?
Come one, come all -- the purse is deep!
No need to go on losing sleep!”
“Give your execs that extra raise,
And the dear Dems all the praise.
Don’t worry where it’s coming from,
Just hold out your hands and get some!”
“Eight billion, nine, maybe ten?
Take your fill again and again!
Santa Obama loves you all,
Whether your sins are big or small.”
“Tomorrow’s kids can pay the bill,
Surely you don’t think that we will!
Let the future handle the debts,
That’s where our great strategy sets.”
“You’re happier now than before--
Although we forgot to end the war.
And we did insult some foreign heads--
But so what? - They were mostly reds.”
“Keep trusting us; we do so great,
Never mind the jobless rate.
Two steps back to go forward one,
Our brilliant work has just begun.”
“If you can’t see your present heaven,
There’s always chapter eleven!
People are starving, but be glad,
The last guy in was really bad!”
