IT'S GOOD TO BE THE KING

 

By Dr. W.R. Marshall, Ph.D
March 8, 2008

It�s good to be the King,
Sitting up on high,
Not meat, nor bread, nor gasoline,
Does His Majesty buy.

His worries may seem many,
But really they are not.
You see its others near him,
Who scheme and plan and plot.

He just nods and smiles,
He�s a simple man, you see.
His delusion makes him truly think
He�ll be loved by history

Let�s build another nation,
While at home we yell �Alert.�
And one day soon I�ll wave goodbye,
Let others clean my dirt.

The King thinks things are peachy,
That riches overflowed.
True for all his Lords and Ladies,
But not for those foreclosed.

And every day crude oil rises,
It�s the only thing that�s certain.
The King just grins his silly grin,
�Cause they�re happy at Halliburton.

The King is told that he�s the law,
What�s written means not a thing.
It�s all bets off, and strap �em down,
So even the innocent sing.

Alberto tells lies and Scooter denies,
The King again grins and nods.
The truth and such don�t really mean much,
Except for the poor working clods.

And when he doesn�t get his way
He becomes the petulant bully.
If one still cared a single whit
They�d say he looked rather silly.

So we hold our breath �til 1/20/09,
That day the bells will ring.
We�ll dance and sing and weep with joy,
Then pray we don�t get another king.
