Beasts of Burden

Beasts of Burden By Franklin Price 2/13/2016 Beasts of burden are the Elephant, And the Ass; at least I think The former is Republican, The latter Democrat; they stink The story I'm here to tell you Is about the two of them, And how they go to Washington; Many times on just a whim Neither has an interest In carrying the load Or delivering on their elected jobs To keep this country on the road The elephant has gotten fatter With manna from above The ass just stands and hees and haws It's a sound you have to love Neither are delivering They're way too good for that Besides the roads are crumbling From the loads of pork and fat The elephant blocks the doorway The ass then kicks it shut We the people watch in wonder With heads stuck up our our butts Put the elephant on a diet Stop the ass's hee and haw Don't accept when they point fingers That's really sticking in my craw Brace them together to the wagon To move collectively along Or remove them from the traces To figure out what they did wrong
