Spring 2011

Japan trusted Nature
To not be too cruel
Now all of their technology
Makes them look like a fool

Iraq is about over
Afghanistan’s a bore
Go to North Africa
And find a new war

We spend four times on the old
What we do on the young
The rest pay the bills
So who’s having fun?

Teachers expelled
Police off the street
Library’s closing
Mayors taking the heat

Washington’s the wolf
Who huffs and who puffs
And inside the straw house
Is no one but us
