Ronald Reagan’s recipe from 20 years ago
Caused bread to trickle upward from those without much dough
Fat cats had a tasty treat a scrumptious popourri
But poor folks also got their slice when the government passed out cheese
It really put us in a bind, but we couldn’t pass that cheese

George laid out a smorgasbord, those thousand points of lite
Many people read his lips but lost their appetite
Every daily diet had a few less calories
The hungry cried out, "where’s the beef" we need some with our cheese
While some enjoyed the gouda life, the rest ate surplus cheese

Gourmets were delighted with potato ala Quale
Who longed to see his favorite dish, murphy brown in jail
Dan devised a regimen to stamp out poverty
Ship the homeless to the moon and let them all eat cheese
Send a lot of crackers cuz they’ll never run out of cheese

When you offer daily thanks, remember Albert Gore
Inventor of the internet, scrambled eggs and more
If Al is top banana he won’t stop at saving trees
Our palates will need cleansing cuz we’ll eat recycled cheese
Tipper will place labels on recycled surplus cheese

Clinton is astonished that some are underfed
He’s clearly demonstrated how we each can get ahead
Bill suggests some little things to help us feel at ease
Like lighting up a fine cigar when you’re finished with your cheese
Kick back, enjoy a stogie when you’ve polished off your cheese.

No more cocaine questions or Dubya just may choke
Compassionate conservative--an oxymoron joke
Sure he’d cut our taxes & our social security
But once he gets to cutting I’m afraid he’ll cut the cheese
Don’t beat around the bush George will you also cut the cheese
