The Late Bob Dole
I voted for him when he ran for President of the United States.
Sadly, he died on December the 5th at the age of ninety-eight.

They don’t realise at school I had a higher goal.

Are my only choices about

On a Roll With the Dole
Sending foreign aid just doesn’t make sense
With American families living in tents
Just how many countries rushed to give cash
When into New Orleans Katrina crashed
San Andreas fault runs through our nation
Cross Western states, widespread devastation
Our British, Aussie and Canadian friends
Are the only ones on whom we can depend
Uncle Sam’s pockets are bare; there’s no gold
