Better Off Dead

BETTER OFF DEAD

First you kill all the lawyers,

That’s what Shakespeare said.*

This kills two birds with one stone,

For politicians would be dead.

Then comes the media,

Whether spoken or read,

We’d all be better served

If we severed some talking heads.

Our armies all could do

With much more fewer Brass

And let’s not overlook

Each and every pompous Corporate Ass.

And one final note,

Given how this winter has been,

I feel I could gladly strangle

Our gleeful Weathermen.

* Henry VI, Part 2
