We're now living in a backyard with the moles
(and there's a possum gave our cat a fright)
Our home's a stretch of canvas and some poles.
with me, my husband - and the cat - it's tight.
And now, to further aggravate our souls,
our airbed has deflated in the night.
We'll have to find the punctures, mend the holes
and clip the cat's claws soon as it gets light.
But, oh for a real drama
watch McCain against Obama,
both slogging out their battle round by round
each contending for the claim
to be seen as just the same
as folks like us (now sleeping on the ground).
Now I don't care one grain
for either Barack or McCain -
the difference is a matter of degree -
but don't it make you wonder
at the fortunes that they squander
to convince us that they're just like you and me?
Hell, they spend a pretty dollar
trying to show that they're blue collar
which goes to show they don't know where it's at -
for a fraction that they've spent
we could get a bigger tent
and buy a seperate airbed for the cat.
