Every child can be President
Has so much positive ring to it
That every parent want to subscribe
It is a shame it is a lie.
In that race
The blocks of child hood days
Are not evenly set
A thing so extraordinary in races
The word race can not be used,
Unless what was once the integrity of words
Are things now just to amuse.
S, dear parent - try to relax a little
If your child makes the Senate it would be nice
But there is much success to be had
Hopefull even this lower grade will suffice.
