I fear our votes must be scraps or spoils
No rich man knoweth our toils
Upon us he performs a curse
For he is governed by his purse
We seem to draw no wit
From our previous failing

We go a-trailing
Honey words, sweet verse
Driven to hell in the politician's hearse...

L-et life feel felicity
Y-ou only live once; 
N-ever waste opportunity to swoon with exuberance.

M-illion mirth you possess
A-ugust sixteenth early morn; 
N-ice wish brings gladness, 
G-etting not worn and torn.
L-et life feel felicity
I-n celebrating the birth; 
C-heerful because you are
M-ade by God in earth.
O-bliterate the snake pit to enjoy endless ecstasy; 
T-hrow away the mare's nest, let life feel felicity....

And take your very breath from within you
So much strife, the end of life
And never finding that Mr. Goodbar....

U-ps the life's low morale; 
L-etting things material turn
I-nto endeavor spiritual.
E-arly morn first of June, jubilant celebrant enjoys; 
T-rying to echo her faith, she shouts to hear her voice.

V-ery clear is the message, 
E-xpressing eternal ecstasy; 
L-ost paradise is found, 
A-s revealed by the Almighty.
S-alvation from the snake pit
C-ompletes the joy of servant, 
O-ne million mirth is brought to jubilant birthday celebrant....
