RevivalA Poem by Jim Walters
Revival
Pissing and moaning, sighing and groaning We sit here and cry in our beer. Why me? Ask we, to the man in the sky And to all most willing to hear.
Our toys they are many, our food it is plenty Yet we buckle in woeful depression. As we think of lost gold and bonus untold In this last goddamned recession!
But thanks be to our name we have lost not the game As our House puppet friends will save us. The presses will run as they steal from our son But our fat asses will shine from the gift that they gave us.
next time we've learned to be careful And not overboard our greed We'll steal just the same (of course) but we must change our name And adapt to the new 'social' breed
We'll start a foundation and give to the needy We'll stop all the s**t that made us look greedy A full 10% we will give to the poor, of that we can assure The 90 that's left? Expenses not theft and of course as an onus the large Christmas bonus.
