It was a lively year in every way
With American voters having their say,
The ballots were cast - the count was quite fast
The Democrats ruling the day
Mr. Bush was confident he'd win
But the polls said his ear was pure tin,
He didn't back down - and watched his guys drown
Takin' it straight on the Presidential chin
Iraq was the main driving force
Americans not staying the course,
The Shia and Sunni - the whole thing is looney
Brutality lacking remorse
Dick Cheney shot his friend in the head
Our noggins not compatible with lead,
While Dick wasn't tellin' - the media was yellin'
Something certainly needed to be said
Iran remains a very dark cloud
It's leader constantly saying it aloud,
Israel must go - Americans should know
The Persians will never be cowed
Back home machines are the rage
With computers replacing the page,
Little reading last year- with IPODS in ear
Are Blackberries becoming a cage?
TV news ratings continue to drop
But American Idol had plenty of pop,
The war on terror is boring - so that show is soaring
One wonders when all this will stop
Media gossip was also big stuff
With Paris and Britney and fluff
Undergarments went missing - even before they were kissing
The word for this display is simply "enough."
Of more importance is campaign '08
Much better to run early than late,
While Hillary's a mama - her competition's Obama
The outcome's a matter of fate
So in essence the year was confusing
In Iraq are we winning or losing?
Only time will due tell - what will become of that hell
No matter how many continue their musing
My wish is a peaceful new year
One lacking in violence and fear,
The one thing I'm sayin' - is for that I'll be prayin'
Let's hope that serenity is near.
