Throw the Bums Out

Today, I thought I’d throw the bums out When I went to vote, I gave a great shout As I pulled the lever for new candidates, I discovered they were johnny-come-lates Who weren’t any better than the last bunch. When I read their names, I had that hunch, That in four years, I’d want rid of them, too, Trying to figure out the best thing to do!

We need to firmly oust political parties from government, but what Member of Congress would dare make such a proposal, since they owe a political party for their election? Aloha!
