Working Herd
My pride is not of presidents
their monuments or halls,
I’m proud of the nation’s people
the working class with balls.
Owned forever by the bank
with interest rates so cruel,
looking in the showrooms
at things that make them drool.
Clothes are off the rack
never owning a new car,
taking home a case of beer
not drinking in a bar.
Watch the news with interest
voting their pocketbook,
high falooten nonsense
doesn’t get a second look.
America’s bone and muscle
with values of common sense,
standing firm on issues
not sitting on the fence.
I’ve been proud for centuries
of the farmer and the clerk,
knowing the ethic of America
is succeeding with hard work.
