As Hollywood stars
sang his praises with joy
the news anchor"persons"
saluted "their boy"
But amid all the hoopla
with courage to change
are "promises" broken
and "goals" rearranged
A jog before breakfast
a snack before lunch
let's stop by the White House
it's waffles for lunch
His cabinet offers
a chance to see why
the best or the brightest
don't need to apply
A quota will do it
a "look" for success
don't worry about it
we'll hire some
illegal immigrant
to clean up this mess
A middle class tax break
a deficit cut?
forget that I said it!
the Bush numbers went up!
(slightly)
The Haitians are coming
they think I said what!
No! You fellows stay home!
you're just **** out of luck
Now don't get your hopes up
all that talk about health care
it asn't a "promise"
it's jus a "goal" that we share
yu'll be kept "in the know"
so long as you remember
Hillary's running this show!
Go play with those wackos
who love spiking trees
or write legislation
bring big business to its knees
The left-leaning liberals
they're all filled with Hope
while the rest of us wonder
has Fate pulled a joke?
But fear not this nightmare
of Clinton and Gore
this nation has suffered
a Carter before
But this time it's different
there's a voice on the right
on radio by day
and T.V. at night
(except in Washington, D.C.)
So when the Democrats attempt
a huge spending spree
this time we'll have Rush Limbaugh
telling them the Way Things Ought To Be!
(Untitled poem aired 1/21/93 on Rush's T.V. show)
