Emily

I feel nothing at all but fear,
3 more years of Bush are here,
Iraq is a mess and pollution grows,
When this will end, nobody knows,
We have tax cuts for the wealthy,
But no money for the unhealthy,
The politicians are all crooks,
Wasting money better spent on kids' books,
Poverty continues to rise and rise,
As people realize it's Bush they despise,
Global warming destroys the earth more,
Nobody seems to care but Al Gore,
Yet a strange feeling of happiness I feel,
For there is nothing but joy in Mudville,
Perky Emily is 10,000 miles away and freezing her butt off!

Happy Belated Birthday Emily

P.S.- In case you have not read the poem Casey at the Bat which I reference cause I figured Enily would enjoy it, you can read it at http://www.onenet.net/~njtdb/casey.html

Ha Ha Nick!
Thank you for the wonderful birthday poem :) I really like it, but unfortunately (for you, of course) though I may be far, far away, I am actually quite toastly warm :) Heck, I wear t-shirts except when I'm outside...what are you wearing? (oddly, enought, I'm actually wearing my "Democrats make better lovers" t-shirt right now, must have been thinking of you today!!) It is quite the hit here.
So, honestly, I'm not that cold. usually wear a fleece and a light-weight jacket...and I haven't fallen into a crevass (sp?) anything yet...so I'm still alive and kicking!
But I really did like the poem a lot :)
