It Is A Country Of Cuckoo Hullabaloo Poem by Hebert Logerie

It is a land of commotion
It is a land of confusion
It is a land of corruption
It is a country of upside down now
Many people forgot what happened two days ago
What took place under the reign of General Bozo
It seems that the people forget easily
Or that they can't remember too many
Things. A lot of events occurred countless nights
When the land had an Emperor, a King and Knights
The people are too emotional, too wacky, too yakkity
Too gossipy, garrulous, obstreperous, lax, callow and naïve
These are few reasons why we're not taken seriously
The people must grow now, they must mature today
While the sky is murky, serious, turbid, gloomy and gray
Everything must change immediately
Too much chaos, too much junk, too much repression
Too many bad words, too much destruction
The people must grow up fast like Tyson chicken
Everyone in the country deserves and must have a better life
Too many murders, too much annihilation and oblivion
Too much kidnapping, too much conniption and raft
Too much old news, too much anger and theft
The people must think and fully comprehend the Constitution
Things must finally be good and pleasant for everyone
The people must choose good leaders who will not pimp
The people must vote for an upright chief who is not a wimp
Tomorrow must at last be better, rosy and decent for everyone.
