Occasional Verse of the Month by Jack Hasling
 
 
Verse of the Month
 
IN DENIAL  

They say the climate’s changing?
	Well, they haven’t got a clue.
So, let the polar icecap melt;
	there’s nothing we can do.
	
Just drive your Hummer where you please
	no matter what they tell you.
There’s lots of oil in the ground
	the Arabs want to sell you.

Who cares about the debt we have?
	 I’m not afraid to say it.
I really don’t expect to be
	the one who has to pay it.

Taxes are for other guys
	who can’t get out of payin’.
We don’t need the government—
	you hear what I am sayin’?

Crime is running rampant—
	that was in the news today.
But when we all start packin’ guns,
	we’ll get along okay.

So this is how I see it,
	and I’ll say it with a smile:
It’s time we went to Egypt—
	We’re already in denial.
