Wonders Everywhere
My wife came here in 1993
To America, ‘Land of the Free’
From a place of dictatorial tyranny
of greased palms and ‘yours for a fee’
The America she came to was a breath of fresh air
Wonders for her to see everywhere
From Disney World to Washington D.C.
A country just right for her and for me…
Twenty-nine years later, and it’s all gone to seed
Crime’s on the rise and folks are uptight
Seems that to lack values is now thought alright
Wokesters remind her of Communist Ukraine
Hawking worn-out ideas long flushed down the drain
They say the grass is greener on the other side
Here the grass is cannabis, and the country’s cockeyed
