A Ditty

The time is short, OJ's in court, Wall Street is crazy, the future is hazy.
Which way to turn, the news is all churn, Palin is blasting, but Obama is lasting.
Each day's an unknown, and Paulson's alone, the money is endless, if only he'd spend less.
War doesn't stop, it's over the top, can health care be free when there's such a high fee?

I don't know the answers, there's none for cancers, is the flu flying here, something else to fear?
If only fear's to be feared, where's the lion to beard, stop the world I say, no time for play.
Each moment is precious, even those that've left us, for those most dear, don't shed a tear.
Keep memories alive, with children we thrive, they keep us young, till our last songs are sung.
