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
