A REDNECK IN THE WHITEHOUSE

Phil Roberts 1957 (Melbourne)



A redneck in the Whitehouse
Is all the world needs now,
A nuclear war in the offing
And the rednecks will show us how.

For seven years the world was poised
On the brink of a nuclear holocaust,
As terrorists from both East and West
Would parry and riposte.

But now we live in hope at last
Of a world that can live in peace
As evil acts committed for years
Finally may cease.

Obama is the only hope
Of the world to become sane again,
So keep the redneck from the Whitehouse
And lift the evil bane.

For seven years an evil redneck
Tore the whole world asunder,
But on voting day 2008
Americans can fix their blunder!

THE END
