Big Bird's Big Dilemma
Posted: October 7, 2012
Is Sesame Street or Wall Street the problem?…
Bert and Ernie are upset
about their friend Big Bird.
It seems that Romney wants him gone.
Now, isn't that absurd?
The government may shell out bucks
for PBS TV.
But based on constant pledging drives,
who pays is you and me.
Sesame Street is not what's wrong.
It's Wall Street that not right.
The road to our recovery
is anything but trite.
So let's not blame the yellow bird
for what the greedy do.
It's time the guilty pay what's owed
for robbing me and you.
