Of Donkeys and Elephants, Part Vi--Dear God
The only good thing is that one must lose,
In the battle of Donnie versus Hill.
Three-hundred million cases of the blues,
Add me to the list of those who feel ill.
More than that, it makes me look to the sky
And in addition to all that wishin’
I’m sorry I prayed for a girl or guy
Who wasn’t a career politician!
But there’s something, dear God, I have to know
If in your image we humans were made
Were politicians made more, or less so?
My little crisis of faith, I have prayed,
Will no doubt resolve, but what I’m thinking:
Perhaps we needed a Divine Spanking!
