Obamacare.
Obamacare
I do not like Obamacare

Obamacare is what we need

Obamacare….

Says Harry Reid, “You'd love it if you had the facts

Even with that stupid tax.

You will like it here and there

You will love Obamacare.”

"Would you like it for your lung?

Would you like it for your tongue?”

Not for my lung

Not for my tongue
I do not like it here or there
I do not want Obamacare

"Would you use it for your guts?

Would you use it for your cuts?"

Not for my guts

Not for my cuts
Harry Reid you drive me nuts

"Would you just, for this and that
Would you use it for your cat?"

For my cat?

Not even that!
Not for my lung not for my tongue
Not for my cuts not for my guts
I would not use it here or there
I do not like Obamacare
This is program we don’t need
I do not like you, Harry Reid

"You do not like it
So you say
So how about a brief delay?"
 
A brief delay
The heck you say

"And if, somehow, you curry favor

We can offer you a waiver"

But if it’s great, the way you say it

Hope can you want us to delay it?

"Why, with so many dis-affected

None of my friends get re-elected."

 

Oh, Harry Reid you are so clever

Why don’t we put it off…forever?

Ship of State?

Sail on thou ship of state sail on...
It seems to me you're drifting
Perhaps there's no one left on board
To do the heavy lifting

And if that ship of state breaks down

We’d better get a loan-er

Or else they’ll need to find someone

To play the part of Jonah

Alas, this mighty ship of state
Has proven to be crew-less
I guess, of course, that's apropos
Because the captain's clueless

Seeing likely outcomes
They know his course is reckless
And spotting not a single "feck"
Know likewise that it's feckless

But if you don’t agree then tell me why

The world is willin’
To put their trust in someone
Who resembles a Bond Villain?

And yet the fate of millions

Before we count to ten
Rests upon the efforts
And the skills of these two men

Can they get all this organized

And manage to agree
When one man ran communities
And one the K.G.B.?

Still, I remain an optimist

And I retain my hope
But in this situation
I’m counting on the Pope

Breakfast of Doubt

A question has been plaguing me
So much, I can’t ignore it
Do I oppose “whatever”
Just because Obama’s for it?

I struggle with my attitude
And strive for self-awareness
Because I know my President
Deserves a little fairness

I wish that I were certain

But talk is only talk
If Mitt were in the White House
Then would I be a Hawk?

Would I have listened closely
And say John Kerry sold me
As I was quick to credit
All that Colin Powell told me?

And then an answer hit me

One I suspect is true
The trouble that I’m having
Is really déjà vu

The rattling of sabers

The clumsy road to war
I haven’t lived forever
But I’ve seen all this before

Perhaps I’m far more troubled

That I believed the claim
That THIS administration’s
Not for doing things the same

They told us we should never move

Without United Nations
So why is our Ambassador
On serial vacations?

If every nation understands

Their acts were grim and brutal
Propose a resolution
Even if you think it’s futile

Person’ly I think it would be

Groovy, cool and neato
To bring the world to witness
How the Russians use their veto

Perhaps you missed that lecture

In your Poly Science class
You can work the world on climate change
But not on Poison Gas!?

So…it’s not some regulation

Or this or that appointment
Our failure to do better
Is  my source of disappointment
