SOTU; A Perspective

I tuned in the speech

And I listened intently
To see how the country

Had changed, fundamentally

 I read all the papers

And watch all the news
I’m pretty well versed
On the facts and my views

But after I heard

What the President said
I learned, to my shame
I’ve been terribly led

My Tea Party friends

Are deceived or deluded
The POTUS has spoken
And so I concluded

To get with the plan

I spent most of the night
Doing the homework
To get my head right.

To open the door

And to turn a new leaf
And so I can say
It is now my belief

That the world is at peace

But the climate’s a crisis
A heat wave in June
Is more trouble than Isis

Selma is better than
12 Years a Slave
Snipers are cowards
But drone-ers are brave

Our plan for Iran

Is productive and clever
And such a success
Talks may go on forever

The deal with Fidel

Was the best we could get
Our friendship with Russia
Is being re-set

We’ve got a great team

And a marvelous bench
And now everyone knows
That John Kerry speaks French

Thanks to the law
We’re all happy and healthy
Let's go for a ride
On the backs of the wealthy

As for 529’s

Well, the government backs them
But when you withdraw
Then we’re going to tax them

He’s willing to hear

What the House is proposing
His office is open
But Gitmo is closing

It’s no never-mind

We’re the world’s biggest debtor

Thanks for the speech

Now I feel so much better
