When I command my dog to speak,

She barks and wags her tail. 

When I command my cat to speak,

He just says, “Go to hell.”

An optimist at Armageddon, 

With death and destruction unfurled. 

Says with a hum,

“Hey, why so glum?

It's not the end of the world.”

If I make it to eighty,

I sure hope that I’m

Still taking the stairs

Two or three at a time.

Politicians talk the talk

And still, they break the bank. 

Now, it’s time they walk the walk,

Somebody, get a plank.

For my next trick, ladies and gentlemen,

Please direct your attention right here.

With the magical words, “Time for a bath”

I will make this dog disappear.

The national debt is a crisis

Of such an absurd magnitude.

Political hacks,  

Say, “We’ve got your backs.”

In other words, folks, we’re screwed.

Passions can sometimes go haywire

For issues that impact us all,

But I can’t understand how it gets out of hand

For a game that is played with a ball.
