All American Chump
The All American Chump decreed
Americans are a different breed
Education we just don't need
The poor must work to earn their feed
Housing simply fosters greed
Healthcare cripples slow my lead
My budget clearly plans for war
Let losers ponder, "either ….or"
Everyone loves blood and gore
Americans just love it more
And I, as leader of the corps,
Shall shed more blood than mighty Thor
We lead the world in making tanks
But funding conflict breaks the banks
I, alone, can turn the cranks
To make a trembling world give thanks
Or fear the worst: "Here come the Yanks"
Mothers, historians, fill in the blanks.
