Your Uncle
by Robert Betts (Age: 62)
copyright 06-01-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
Hi it's your uncle, your rich Uncle Sam
friend to the poor and downtrodden I am.
To you I will tell;
you know very well.
I care for your interests, sir and madame.

A long time ago in Troy, New York,
in newspaper office my father did work.
He sketched and he drew,
from paper I flew,
and then I began to do my lifework.

As babe I began to suckle and grow,
fed from the fat of the land you know.
I needed sharp axes,
so I started taxes,
to pay cops and judges who keep up the flow.

I'm not bothered by laws or decency
I make up my own as I go, you see.
So stay out of my way,
or I'll make you pay,
with thousands and thousands in currency.

Been doing it now for such a long time.
I've taken your dollars but left you a dime.
So please don't you worry,
go crazy or scurry;
I act in your interest and all will be fine!

I know that you're strong but you'll never fight,
so I can continue to increase my might.
I'll mind all your land,
keep freedoms in hand,
and let you do only what I think is right.

One of the signers of the constitution said that there needs to be a rebellion every now and then just to keep government in line. Its about time for another I think. Great write, Anthony
