My mother, who is 79 and not computer savvy, composed this verse recently and encouraged me to share it online if I thought it worthwhle. I thought some of you might enjoy it:
I’m a weepin’ and a wailin’
I’m a quakin’ and a qualin’
‘Cause they picked that Sarah Palin
Oh, their wits they must be failin’
All the liberals she’ll be tailin’
All progressives she’ll be jailin’
You can see my hopes are ridin’
On Obama and on Biden
There is nothing that they’re hidin’
If you’ve trouble in decidin’
Then I surely will be chidin’
All the people who can’t see
That our country must be free
It was made for you and me
And I’m sure you will agree
This is not a foolish plea
Please don’t string us from a tree
by Betty L.
P.S. My mother also tells me that despite the reports of resistance to Obama among the elderly, most of the folks she talks to in the senior housing where she lives in Wisconsin are planning to vote for him.
