Clinton or Obama, which one can outwit Osama:
Perhaps neither one?
But this is a year for presidential politics
so we must review our picks
and somehow find a Favorite Son.
And we must remove gender as a political factor
but still not be too sympathetic to that tearful actor.
Because a crying actress just may not be best
in dealing with the perils of an evil world.
For would that be the correct message to send
to a young impressionable child of the age of ten
who just happens to be a girl?
And we must also erase race
as being an important matter
and start selecting foods
that will not make our kids fatter
but let all young men know
that the pitcher or batter
who takes steroids is a special kind of slob.
And that no amount of money, fortune or fame
is worth the reputation of the honest name
of the hard working man who has became
known for bringing honesty and integrity
to the performance of his job.
And let there not be trace
of the thought of race
as we seek an ace
to make a convincing case
for
as the Nation most admired.
Where all men and women have an equal chance
to work in accounting, engineering or finance
or wherever else they may be hired.
And where women and children are protected
from those who would do them ill
by lawmen who are directed
by a tough anti-crime bill.
So from the waves of the Pacific
to the great Atlantic ocean
let Americans be specific
about the noble notion
that
but can be greater still
if we find the candidate
who can fill the bill.
