Rhymes For The Current Time<\/p>\n
Little boy blue, come blow your horn.
\nThe sheep are in the garden, the cows are in the corn.
\nWho wrote this sappy little rhyme?
\nAt the least, they should be doing jail time.
\nSheep & cows could care less for horn music.
\nSend out the dog, he\u2019ll herd them, you see.
\nSuch blitherings are lost in translation.
\nThey almost sound like incantations.
\nBut then, I guess I can\u2019t complain.
\nSome of the current stuff is pretty lame.
\nLike \u201cThe Elf Song.\u201d Vulgar as hell.
\nDon\u2019t be singing it or I will tell.
\nOther vernaculars of this age
\ndisplay a sample of daily rage.
\nI won\u2019t bother to repeat one here.
\nAlmost any of them will make it clear.
\nLets clean up our act folks.
\nMake them clean without the jokes.
\nHave it come from deep inside.
\nThe results will open eyes wide.
\nI will leave the content up to you.
\nUse your imagination; you\u2019ll come through.<\/p>\n
