How To Turn Left

Stand under the proscenium arch Listen to show tunes till doomsday comes Dawn with the songs of ever lasting darkness Tap dance your last dance on Broadway Burn the last lime light down Take midnight with you Pay no tolls until you are told to When leaving New York City Buy a Hybrid Prius on the road Equipped with liberal intentions With a west coast radio and global warming controls With a turn signal leaning left Place your index finger and thumb on it Push down until you get to somewhere rainy Stop! Think before you start Follow signs to California Wait for a fault line crack to appear Watch it become a Democrat Move gently and friendly towards green Hug a tree for me Never become an old white man Elect some one young with hair Avoid bald spots at all cost And railroad Catholic crossings Register as a Liberal Turn on CNN Read the New York Times Just stop! ….. I'm getting car sick Let me out Time well spent is behind you Who needs a mind when you own a Prius
