Grinning Like a Possum
Grinning Like a Possum
By Elton Camp
The president seems to be well pleased
At the last second, victory he seized
The filthy rich will fork over more
The middle class about as before
His enemies blocked him at every turn
So this tax struggle was hard to earn
The wealthy may well fume and cuss
But there’s fewer of them than of us
Four hundred thousand is quite enough
Even paying more, it shouldn’t be tough
Perhaps they might even economize
Swap the Rolls Royce for a smaller size
So their depleted funds are better spent
With only a single mansion be content
They can still have plenty of fun
Lying about, enjoying Grey Poupon
And, according to what I see & hear,
The prez is grinning from ear-to-ear
