DIVINE ORDER

by Wayne Scheer


With economists feuding
On whether we're improving

And health care costs spiral
While reform talk goes viral

With a Family First gov
Seeking Argentinean love

And another acting surly
When asked why she leaves early

We take comfort in knowing
As bad as things are going

Order remains in the universe:
The Yankees sit pretty in first.
