Euthanasia

Euthanasia
The right to die
When terminally ill
They will deny

Opponents will ask
Who should die
If this is allowed
Who could apply

A quadriplegic
An amputee
To help them die
Who would agree

Lou Gehrig’s disease
A slow painful death
You can not move
You’ll lose your breath

Maiming our youth
In wars each day
The old and sick
Must live this way

Compassionate death
You won’t feel a thing
Eternal rest
This method will bring

Living the dream

Living the dream
You may pay the price
Perhaps a spouse
Doesn’t act nice

Sandra Bullock
Still lives the dream
With a louse for a spouse
She reigns supreme

Tiger Woods
His scandal revealed
Still living the dream
Saying he’s healed

Fame and fortune
May only be brief
Living the dream
While being a thief

A motor home
A house on the beach
Living the dream
Is different for each

Living the dream
A college graduation
The first in their family
A great celebration

Living the dream
Can often be bleak
From paycheck to paycheck
You live each week

Send in the clowns

Under the big top
The show will begin
With circus clowns
Who frown and grin

Applying their makeup
They had to learn
Laughs from the crowd
They'll always earn

These circus clowns
Perform in the show
Not on the trapeze
They stay down below

Life on the road
To make people laugh
That’s why they chose
This career path

Look at the clowns
In the bull ring
What makes them do
This dangerous thing

Protecting cowboys
While facing danger
These clowns will help
A total stranger

Bucking bulls
The coyboys will ride
With rodeo clowns
Right by their side

Teddy Bears

When Goldie Lox entered
The home of three bears
She tasted their porridge
And sat on their chairs

The bears were out walking
When Goldie arrived
If they had been home
Would she have survived

Baby bear found her
Asleep on his bed
Goldie awakened
Then quickly she fled

No hanging around
No saying hello
Frightened of bears
She just had to go

On a bear hunting trip
Teddy Roosevelt went
Many years ago
Our past President

This President killed
Not a single bear
And his hunting friends
Were all well aware

A bear cub was clubbed
And tied it to a tree
Teddy wouldn’t shoot it
Unfair it would be

Cartoons of this bear cub
Soon led to a toy
A “Teddy’s Bear”
For a young girl or a boy

We love Teddy Bears
They’re made big or small
In all different colors
And they’ll never claw

A bear in the wild
Is an unfriendly beast
Stay away from these bears
Or you'll be their feast

Your Cheatin' Heart

Lyrics by, Hank Williams Sr. (1953)

Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you
These cheating songs
Are more than a few

Don’t copy the answer
From someone’s test
So you can cheat
And do your best

Don’t find a way
To cheat in a game
Because your name
They will defame

Most of these cheaters
Won’t ever get caught
But those who have
Were they not taught

Entertainment for adults

To be entertained
Is what we seek
Especially during
The end of the week

Eat a good meal
A nice juicy steak
And for dessert
Have a slice of cake

Go to the movies
Watch a new flick
Read the reviews
Before you pick

But after a while
This may be a bore
Dinner and movies
We’d like to do more

Las Vegas casinos
So many they’ve built
Taking your money
They have no guilt

Not only Las Vegas
But near where you live
There are casinos
For money to give

Some people don’t care
How much they lose
Its entertainment
It’s what they choose

I’m not entertained
By the roulette wheel
And slot machines
My money they’ll steal

You have nothing to lose

You have nothing to lose
Your people are poor
Recruiting young boys
Who are easy to lure

You have nothing to lose
You don’t value life
You’ll die for a cause
Leaving children and wife

You have nothing to lose
Your terrorists came
Destroying our buildings
Was truly insane

We have lots to lose
We don’t want to die
Or kill innocent people
Not knowing why

We have lots to lose
With hopes and dreams
Not sitting around
Plotting wicked schemes

You will never win
We’ll continue to fight
For as long as it takes
And with all of our might
