Seeing as how it’s the holiday season:
Let it Burn! Let it Burn! Let it Burn!
—apologies to Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne, and “Let it Snow!”
Oh, the fiscal precipice is looming
A crisis the President’s been grooming
And since there’s nowhere to turn,
Let it burn! Let it burn! Let it burn!
No, Obama is not intending
To rein in his runaway spending
He just wants to punish those who earn;
Let it burn! Let it burn! Let it burn!
Yes, we’re facing fiscal collapse
The predictions will be fulfilled
But if we get over with it, perhaps
The sooner we can start to rebuild
Since the executive of the nation
Won’t engage in negotiation
His proposals then must be spurned
Let it burn! Let it burn! Let it burn!
Yes – Burn it down!
Taxes aren’t even the fight – spending is all that matters at this point. Don’t raise the debt limit.
A crisis the President’s been grooming. True!
I do hope when I hear, “Let it snow” this season, I won’t hear “Let it burn.” My brother forever changed “We Three Kings” for me years ago with the one about the exploding cigar.
The new American Spring. NearBama fiddles while DC burns.
There is a Rat Pack double entendre in there somewhere. As always, excellent work.
