Bird on the Run

I taught them how to read and write.

I showed them how to spell.

I helped them count from one to ten,

  And sang to them as well.

 

Romney says my goose is cooked,

My time has come and gone.

I guess it’s time to fly the coop.

Kids, I think you're on your own.

    There were many times over the years that I considered flying to coop, at least for a little while. Now the kids are stretching their wings, and I already know I'll miss them.

    Ha ha. But I think Big Bird will continue to fly without our help. His merchandise alone (and SS's) could pay the Government's portion probably 10 times over!

    His "goose" won't ever be cooked (unless China decides to do it - as they practically own him!)

    And Brian... He wants to be President, not King ;P

    nice. I guess education isn't a concern to the right, at any level. America in twenty years is going to be the stupidest country on the planet.

    Laughing at the comments as much as your post.
    Thank goodness it will all be over then, apart from all the blame games which follow endlessly, until the next election.

    Great rhyme scheme there Patti. Should prove to be interesting how your elections turn out.
