TRUTH IN NONSENSE
If I ruled the world
it would be illegal
to ignore your Beagle.If I ruled the world
we would all be called out
for shouting or being discordant.If I ruled the world
any good and worthy cause
would require a donation.If I ruled the world
whenever an unkind word was spoken
the Speaker would forfeit a token.If I ruled the world–and I was the Queen
on St. Patrick’s Day each year
all of my subjects would have to wear green.Rules would be made to be broken
no penalties would ever ensue.
Nothing illegal–except ignoring your Beagle!If I ruled the world.

Bush did ok finally, and my favorite is Lindsay Graham…but that isn’t saying much. I have a little ditty about the warrior mentality of these guys–I’ll post it…it’s pretty bad. LOL
