NIGHT BEFORE ELECTION DAY
‘Twas the night before Election Day
And all through our nation
There was great fear and anger
And utter desperation!
I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had just turned off the TV,
Wanting no more political crap.
When all of a sudden
There arose such a roar
When I looked out my window
I nearly fell on my floor.
Out on my front lawn,
A helicopter had lit.
Obama and his gang exited,
And they all seemed in a snit.
Up to my window,
Obama he did scurry.
He robbed me at gunpoint
And he did it in a hurry.
“Give me your money;
You can’t keep it.” he said.
“You must give it to me,
It all belongs to the Fed.”
They had come for my wallet;
They wanted my pay,
To give to those
Who had never worked for a day!
He snatched up my money
And ran out my back door.
I looked for a tax receipt,
But that wasn’t in this Obama score.
After going over town
Stealing from the middle classes
They threw the money in a giant bag
That was labeled. “For the Masses.”
He then rallied his henchmen
To board his aircraft at dawn.
And with an awful roar,
They lifted from my lawn.
“Don’t worry” he screamed
As they flew out of sight
“Those gutless voters down there
Will never stand up and fight.”
So I leave you to ponder
On this one final note —
If you don’t like Socialism,
Then
Get out there and vote!
