anyway
its called
even the stuffed animals are leaving
even the stuffed animals are leaving
the gerbil the leopard the shrew
the bankers have gambled the money
and nobody knows what to do
even the stuffed animals are leaving
they need a professional buff
a swipe with a duster just will not pass muster
and some of them need a new stuff
even the stuffed animals are leaving
their fur needs a brush and a comb
and some need a clean with a fancy machine
and theres no one can do it at home
even the stuffed animals are leaving
they are all going somewhere more chic
our Ecomomy's rapidly tanking
- Immediate Future is bleak
even the stuffed animals are leaving
the leopard the rabbits and mice
our Prospects are rapidly halfing
Unemployment is just about Twice
even the stuffed animals are leaving
the badger the bat and the whales
the door has come off of the copter
the country's come off of the rails
even the stuffed animals are leaving
the dormouse the hare and the stoat
the Taoiseach just hadn't the handle
and that's why we are all up the spout
even the stuffed animals are leaving
the weasel the chipmunk the skunk
classroom sizes will grow to fifty or so
just as hospital numbers have shrunk
even the stuffed animals are leaving
the ferret the wombat the vole
the Metro is on the long finger
the U2 tower's still just a hole
even the stuffed animals are leaving
from lemur to big wildebeeste
gone West is our Waterford crystal
and Dell is now heading off East
even the stuffed animals are leaving
the bison the squirrel the duck
the light at the end of the tunnel
is headlights of oncoming truck
even the stuffed animals are leaving
the lama the gibbon the seal
the good times were just a chimera
impending disaster looks real
even the stuffed animals are leaving
they are all getting out while they can
and under the eye of surprised passer by
the tigers's shoved into a van
even the stuffed animals are leaving
they are leaving the country bereft
it is no use to pay to see the display
for theres not a one of them left
but is there just one bit of good news
amidst all the tidings so drear ?
for surely all clouds have linings not shrouds
and there must be a silver one here ...
Im scanning the news for that one ray of hope
that would show a way out of this grime
nope ! one more nail in this horrible tale
it says " toll road through Tara's ...on time " 8 |
