A little holiday verse
An Occupy Christmas
T’were the days before Christmas with deficits so high,
Super committees disbanded and bewilderment nigh.
Sir Barack in his kerchief, Ms. Michelle in her cap,
Had just settled in for a green White House nap.
When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
But a sleigh-load of occupiers and eight very exhausted reindeer.
“We fired old Santa, he works way too much,
We’re here for a handout, a freebee as such.”
“The iPhone’s depleted, my allowance aback,
It’s time for the taxpayers to pick up the slack.”
So they called as they flew, “Be Ye All of Good Cheer …!”
“We’ll be crowning young Hillary in the primaries next year.”
