From working stiffs to billionaires,
There is no time that causes more swears

When dealing with strife ‘tween the races

When dealing with strife ‘tween the races,
It’s worthwhile to try trading places.
            Would the United Tribes

Les hommes asked themselves, “Where is

            Obama came up short.
He might as well have been on Polaris.

There once was a bassist named Bruce
Who played like his fingers were loose.
            They flew ‘cross the frets
            Weaving blue-tinted nets
That no one else could reproduce.

There once was a girl with no name

There once was a girl with no name
Who never knew fortune or fame.

            Of a purplish strain,
And there ain’t been a better show since.

Who agreed to tax less of his bling.

Who did not listen to the whistles

            Of the giant algae bloom
Should now be walking about on thistles.
