It’s almost enough to bring tears to your eyes,
America’s stature increasing in size
amongst the world’s nations because of The One
whose election foretells a new policy spun
from goodness and warmth and that fuzzy good feeling
that misty-eyed libs find so doggone appealing.
Like first lady Michelle, we can say that we’re proud
for once in our lives, so let’s shout it out loud:
“We admit we’ve done wrong, but now things are just great;
We elected a black man as Head of the State!
There’re seeds for big change that we’re hoping to sow!
(We’re high on that ‘Hope’ and that ‘Change’ thing, you know…)”
But meantime, far back in the world of reality,
Our fiscal well-being shows signs of mortality –
Seems Wall Street’s ignoring the globalized blizzard
of euphoric conditions cooked up by that wizard
who ran a campaign based on punishing wealth,
with high taxes to hurt our economy’s health.
Will he govern as far to the left as he ran?
Is redistribution a part of the plan?
Will wacky Joe Biden make good on his oath
To buy toasters for folks who missed out on our growth?
Such policies tell us what’s looming ahead:
There’ll be little, if any, more wealth to be spread!
We hope this is true: Barack’s playing the game
Employed by that Wizard of Hollywood fame.
Like Oz, his persona’s a frightful illusion,
While an actual centrist awaits, in seclusion,
his time to step forward and end the confusion…
Nah…we’re simply indulging a soothing delusion!
