The
Ranch was in bad trouble
When
Obama came to town.
We gave
him free reign
To
stage a big showdown.
He
looked around and studied
What
The Problem seemed to be.
Seems a
few Old Wranglers
Always
disagreed.
He
watched what each one said and did—
He
found two key factions.
Each
gloried in its own earmarks—
But
condemned the other’s actions.
Blindly-held
beliefs aside—
One
thing all agreed upon:
The
other side’s practice was wrong—
Bad
things came from that side alone!
Each
side told what it wanted—
Obama
made his plan
To
remove one trouble spot.
We’d
chosen the right man!
To
Satisfy one group
He’d
give them a sure thing:
He’d
ban the dreaded “earmarks”
The
other guys kept writing.
To
satisfy the other group
He’d do
the very same.
He’d
ban the others’ “pork.”
We
COULD win this game!
And so
he banned all extras
Folks
liked to tack on bills.
He
saved the budget billions,
When
ALL earmarks he killed!
Satisfied,
White Hat moved on
To
study the next problem.
The
people cheered him wildly,
Saluting
needed requiem!
