of the old woman's thin hair,
her heart grew younger.

as her children grew older.
Now they switch their roles.

Change, in the US,
begins with Joe the Plumber,
Not John or Barry.

just plain old average Joe.
Now he is famous.

picked up his pint glass,
and slowly set it back down;
brandy called his name.

Brandy called his name,
but it could have been Whisky -
He wasn't sure who.

He wasn't sure who.
His head was too clouded with
drink, to comprehend.

Drink to comprehend?

The Fool I should think,

The Fool stands, laughing.

The Fool stands laughing,
blind as to what he's doing.
Sounds familiar.

"Sounds familiar,"
she thought as he told her why
he would not post bail.

He would not post bail.
So he stood by and jangled
the bells on his hat.
