"little e little e"

the court case ended with verdict unknown

new righteous leader got overthrown

got a complaint but no one answers the phone

recording agent got another clone

tonto went hunting left the ranger alone

ex-politician is selling cologne

former soprano switched to baritone

school dance started with no chaperon

.

the values we worshiped are now being sold

don't crack a smile 'cause the joke is too old

ancient history is being retold

greenhouse has gotten rid of the cold

losing your grip the tighter you hold

controlled products are worth more than gold

our lady justice has lost her blindfold

nostradamus has our future foretold

.

ex-super athlete tries his encore

going to work is too big a chore

hear a bird knocking who says nevermore

try to make sense but you can't find the door

two and two together don't add up to four

spend all your money your youth to restore

you think you can make it but you're too far from the shore

.

the king wasn't present when he lost his domain

tarzan's a swinger now that he left jane

mom's apple pie is replaced by chow mein

financial wizard is considered insane

love is too risky so you must abstain

spices are toxin you eat everything plain

tight rope balance is too hard to maintain

you failed before so you don't try again

.

the gold that you looked for turned out to be lead

snake changed his shape with the skin that he shed

military man swore he was misled

demonstration leader went fishing instead

slept until two but your eyes are still red

world famous icon took the money and fled

little "e" little "e" cummings i read

"be nobody but yourself" is just what he said
