Poem Artwork

"There you see Mount Rushmore,"
"I own it !" she blurted out
Well what about the White House
In a long and hot breathed shout,
"That's mine too !" She bellowed
"As well as the cherry blossoms"
"I also own a statue
In New York...out on the water"
I have a huge jet plane
Air Force One they call her
Can fly it too, well, sort'a
Paying taxes is the order
And my money is in control
Even when Bill Clinton
Abused his rock and roll
I paid for that, *Imagine*
That blue dress of 'what's her name'
I could get my money back
On EBay ... in leiu of fame
I have responsibilities
Too vast to even mention
I own so much that I don't need
On a small retirement pension.

Cutely true. I'm so glad Teddy Roosevelt loved to shoot poor defenseless animals and bought Yellowstone, Yosemite, and a bunch of other worthless wildernesses to keep them from becoming private tourist traps.

I enjoy visiting DC and all my museums and monuments. The Library of Congress and the Patent Office are my favorites.

Ah! So many things we own and yet ironically, we have no rights to anymore. Where once it was "the will of the many" is now the will of the rich and powerful. Well done Susan.
