Re: Current Events
Dear Cheri:
Take Your Medicine
Now time is short 'til we pick a chief,
so I want to share what's my belief.
Although he's paranoid, this Perot,
who's to say he won't grow.
Not in height, he's past those years,
but in ego. And how 'bout those ears?
If on election day they choose H. Ross
to lead this land as its next boss,
then Wednesday morning won't be too late
for him to begin to investigate
the sons and daughters of those gridlocked;
to pay four trillion we'll all be docked.
And what of George and his deer-eyed Dan,
I've tried to forgive them as best I can.
George promises next watch to focus on us,
four years late; I'd say he's missed the bus.
I know what you're thinking, he's got character and won't steal,
but it's high time he came clean on the Iran-contra deal.
Of Bill it's said he'd prefer red to dead.
Compare him to Kennedy? Sure, maybe Ted.
It can't be argued that he's an angel -- oh no.
I'm sure he and Gennifer did the fandango.
But one thing is certain, he does have a plan,
and he moved Arkansas from last in the land.
Well I think I'll do as I did as a lad.
To stay home from school, I'd act sick and sad.
My mother would say choose, castor oil or doctor's needle,
And while I hemmed and hawed and tried every wheedle,
in the end I would choose school as the least evil.
So Tuesday next I'll enter the booth,
And pull Bill and Al, and that's the truth.
More Later,
David J. L'Hoste
