The Woes of 2009…
At the end of ’08 the system was broke
And we limped into ’09 looking for change & hope
On the 20th of January the world stood still
As Barrack Hussein Obama took his place on the hill
With rabid supporters hanging on his every word
He spoke and spoke sometimes sounding absurd
Either way the deed was done
And now all we could do was wait for the fun
Wait & wait we all did
While the economy… continued to skid
With more bailouts, bonuses & companies too big to fail
This train called the USA kept rolling…right off the rails
While Geithner made excuses about the soaring deficit
Many started to wonder & question if he was fit
And in Congress with one bill after another
It was Nancy & Harry trying to outspend each other
The people cried out and even took to the streets
But the spending kept coming digging us deep
Stop the madness they pleaded & begged
If not we’ll all end up on a powder keg?
But somehow on deaf ears their pleas did fall
And now our dollar’s not worth much at all
In Hollywood some icons we did lose
With Farrah, Ed & Michael too
And on the diamond the Yanks were heaven
Winning championship # 27
And on Thanksgiving Tiger did fall
We just can't figure how he had time for them all
So now we’ve come to the end of 2009
And it seems Obama has lost some of his shine
With companies closing and more & more of us out of work
Many can’t believe they actually voted for this jerk
Hope & Change, Hope & Change, and Hope & Change they did say
But not much has blossomed with even less on the way
Now the beginning of 2010 will start with some fear
And the path for our nation quite unclear
With healthcare looming and global warming debates
In their hands lie all of our fates
Hopefully we’ll right this ship before it goes down
And common sense & reason will come back around
You know these poems I write as a way to inform & amuse
But I just wish I had some much better news…
