Parody Song Title:
"Poor Me!"
The Lyrics
Poor me!
I'm freezing, as wind blows
I can't afford gas, clothes;
Poor me: "pink-slipped", and depart
Live "free"
A blanket on ground? Do!
No roof, walls, surround you
But, my! What view of the stars!
Hey, "B"! --
You said, "Jobs provide", true?
But each month the numbers slide [1]
Our "Hope, Belief"? It's died!
Talk's free [2]
Much harder to live it
Come 2012: give it --
-- back: White ... House, please!
[1] Zero jobs created in August; unemployment numbers won't drop, and are understated by both the vast number who've just given up looking and by those who are underemployed (e. g., only working part-time when they'd rather work full time); and the percentage of Americans living in poverty is the highest since 1993.
[2] Or "cheap", according to the old saying, but if you have to ride in a private 747 (plus a separate private jet for your wife, who's racked up ten million miles of sheer vacation time in it), it turns out it's actually quite expensive. ;)
