DEMOCRACY IN ACTION

Berthold Lippel

 

Tomorrow is Parent Election  Day

All the children in the  US of A

Will vote to keep their parents

Or

To send them away forever

And

Get a new set of Mommy and Daddy

Who will say yes to every demand

 

Tomorrow is Child Election Day

All the parents in the US of A

Will vote to keep their childen

Or

To send them away forever

And

Get a new set of boys and girls

Quiet, polite, and undemanding

 

Tomorrow is Post-Election Day

The Parents are happy

The Children are happy

Until the next election

    HI BERTHOLD ~ Sounds like life in ARIZONA ! A great idea though ! Despite being controlled by genetics some parents and their "natural" children are very very unsuited ! In the UK we have stores where you can take your "nearly new" clothes and swap them with others ! Like a mutual "Thrift Store". This would be a great idea for Parents to take there "unwanted kids" and swap them ! Perhaps that is what MARRIAGE actually is (think about it !) Yours BRIAN
