Futile Exercise

Contrary Mary dances with fairy’s while traveling down dead end streets; Sunglasses jerry- his nose hairs too harry he dances to rock and roll beats. Dead man’s alley’s and death toll tallies and autos built for speed; Father O’Malley and victims of folly pray for all those in need. And street lights take pictures while big brother smokes swishers; While the people only dream of well wishes. Trips to the alter home loans at falter foreclosure has called on the phone; Some cash in on litter and taste only bitter while begging for change as they roam The runners for office appeal to the caucus and many accept what they say; And as they tally our x’s we hope for our Lexus but recessions the lunch of the day.
