Kissing babies and shaking hands
A candidate’s boon and bane in most lands
In the USA, though, it’s hair-kissing and the shaky hand
of an octogenarian on whom one party is taking its stand
Spirits right contort
liberal wisdoms die left
political coupons
At the ATM machine
It wasn't the normal message
But it put a smile on my face
For the rest of the day
For English… push one
To learn English… push 2
There is a plant that is making the news...
It has so many names, you might be confused...
Mj , hashish, pot, reefer and weed...
Just to name a few and it grows from a seed...
A drug that’s been illegal for many years...
And when mentioned put’s fear in a parents ears...
There was a President, however, that stated he...
Lit up once , not thinking you see...
Tried it in college...but never inhaled...
Lucky for him, no one ever blackmailed...
So for a number of years , it has been Taboo...
To smoke this plant , and if anyone knew...
You might lose your standing in the community...
However, now it’s up to the government you see...
To pass a bill for you and me...
So we can smoke it as we wish...
Alas...it would become a legal “ fetish “....
Only In America can anyone with common sense
serve as juror and then with persistence
Serve As America's President.
