I know just how the government
Ought to be run, and who
Is qualified for president
And School-board Member, too.
I know which laws are ripe for change;
Which policies, unfair;
I know whose taxes they should raise,
And whose they ought to pare.
The Major Issues are my meat;
But, though it causes stares,
I take five minutes once a week
And right my own affairs.
