Economy's down
The budget's tight
We have to make some cuts
We'll lay off teachers
Reduce food stamps
Tighten belts we must!
And out health care
It's so wasteful
We can trim some frills
Use generics
Pre-approvals
Just keep our blue pills!
Diabetics
They can manage
Without their injections
But without
Our Viagra
We'll have no erections!
Fingers ache
From arthritis
Hurting to the bone?
We don't care
Meds cost money
We want groins of stone!
Who gives a damn
If some woman
Has another pup?
Birth control
Doesn't matter
If we can't get it up!
So go ahead
Cut our health care
Fix financial ills
But don't you ever
Touch our manhood
Give us our blue pills!
