Hey candidates get out your tissues,
we the people have issues.
We don't want your rants
or crazy uncles even the aunts.
Big oil prices for our cars
paying prices like movie stars.
Sometimes folks like to gloat
sub prime mortgages that don't float.
Better not get sick so beware,
high priced drugs, better healthcare.
We the people just want to stoke,
listen to us if you want our vote.
