A Thanksgiving Song
(with apologies to Lydia Maria Child)
Over the lawyers and through the courts
Was Grandmother’s ballot bad?
Al Gore says to wait
He’ll carry the state
Through hanging, dimpled chad….
Over the lawyers and through the courts
Oh, how the polls do show
That CNN
Was wrong again
As over the count we go.
Over the lawyers and through the courts
There is no other way
Oh hear Bernard Shaw
Say again what he saw
It’s almost Thanksgiving Day…
Over the lawyers and through the courts
Count fast, Palm Beach today
The count must be had
Don’t eat any chad
Although it’s Thanksgiving Day….
Over the lawyers and through the courts
Until the race is won
They seem to go
Extremely slow
It isn’t any fun…
Over the lawyers and through the courts
Now Grandmother’s vote is cast
Hurrah for the spin
Is the recount in?
Hurrah for the end at last.
