The Life of a Fictitious Person. Walter P. Wallace.

So proper and prim in my Brooks Broithers suit. ( I loathe that Obama! I much prefer Newt.) Decorum at all times, when in public view. ( Dwelling on feelings would render one blue.) An Ivy League background, a young trophy wife, (I prefer peace and quiet, an absence of strife.) Success at all costs is the rock bottom line! ( We keep cutting jobs and I think that's fine.) All things in their turn and each in their place, ( That ***** they hired. I don't like his face.) We must turn a profit. The public be damned! (How dare they label our whole business a scam!) How America prospers must be left up to us! ( If the gas goes too high, there's always the bus.) Let them get here like I did- work hard and save! ( I have no regrets- save my untrod upon grave.)
