My Sister

She was born when I was just three
My first guitar she gave to me
My first friend by heaven's decree
An Easter egg she still owes me

When cowards tried to bully me
She stood right there and did not flee
"Your six to one's not fair I see.
If you want him you'll go through me!"

As neighbor or as absentee
I know that we will both agree
My sister she will always be
A friend and confidant to me

Political Pets

My dog must be a Democrat

Chews through our budget just like that

She thinks a free ride's where it's at

She loves a handout and a pat

She'd kill her unborn just like that

Fetus is neither dog nor cat
She's happy lying on her mat

As on our nickel she gets fat

My cat must be Republican

For poverty she has no plan

'Cause she is greedy and would ban

All plans for her to share her can

She looks down at the working man

And dogs and common cats she'd ban

To have it all's her secret plan

And stay a fat cat if she can
