America

America

Oh  America you are such a bully

Throwing your weight around

Your people staring dully

As your crimes abound

Who's going to make America great

When the one who leads you

Has only made you hate

Which seems to please you

Oh America you think you're above us

Bigger, better, faster, smarter

It's plain to see though, you don't love us

If you did you would try harder

To help the ones who need it most

The sick, the poor, the hungry too

The need is great from coast to coast

But you only think of you

Well Bullies are really sad and weak

And pick on others less than them

But the tables are turning as we speak

And you won't get a chance again

To be the powerful "Great I Am"

Another country will take your place

And dismiss your Uncle Sam

And wipe that smug smile off your face.

Arrowroot Cookies

How we loved our Arrowroots

When we walked 'round in baby boots

Their firmness soothed our tender gums

And gave some peace to our poor mums

But the thing we loved the best

Was the sticky gooey globby mess

The cookies made all over us

Causing mums to make a fuss

But we grew up and on to Oreos

I'm sure you know how that story goes

Way too cool for baby food

We'd never let on they still tasted good

And now I sit here in my chair

Wrinkled hands and graying hair

I'll have that arrowroot with relief

For these small biscuits

require no teeth.
