Retirement's as good a way

to sound retreat most any day.

Conservatives are getting old;

in Congress they are dripping mold.

Old fogeys ought to take the hint

and go suck on some peppermint.

Get big or get out is what farmers should do;

a mere hundred acres won't grow a cashew.

And ploughmen who don't take the hint can expect

that tariffs will grind them to powder, by heck!

Conagra don't care for the little guy, natch;

and Sonny Perdue their foul back will sure scratch.

Beautiful dreamer, wake up and see

America don't want the poor refugee.

Though you contribute so much to our land,

the Big Cheese is working to have you all banned.

Beautiful dreamer, even the courts

will treat you like you're covered in warts.

If I were you to Canada now

I'd turn my steps, taking all your know-how.
