DAD’S BIG BUCKS AND MY PICK-UP TRUCK
I once had an intermittent brain
Forty years of drinking, it went down the drain
Having appanage since I was born
Now scheming and lying my life is torn
 
I project what others tell me to do
But I know I can’t fool you,
I say things that are so ridiculous
That makes me extremely obnoxious
 
Foolish were the neocons who thought I could rule the world
Although they knew, I spent decades in watering holes
Politicians must be able to articulate their message
But I am always brutalizing the English language
 
I have two plus years to go
With all this baggage I must tow,
I have no doubt I will fail
My biggest worry is; am I going to jail?
 
Dad and his friends always give me plenty of bucks
I was so happy just driving my pick-up truck,
For all my wrongs I can’t claim ignorance
But I know its Ambien’s intolerance!

To be honest with you, I am in bed by 10pm and I get a solid eight hours of sleep. However, with the way things are going I can just feel the need for Ambien, even though, I know, I don’t need it!
