White House
The fruits in our garden will all be the sweetest,
Dangling
And
Dropping
From
The
Vines.
To make sure our neighbors won't think us elitist
We'll blur useless
Dividing
Lines.
Their children will have a safe retreat.
Their dogs will learn they can find a treat.
Our mailman can ask for an icy drink
When the sun beats down with his summer wink.
We'll show up to meetings and raise our voice.
We'll vote in elections, exercise choice.
What a thing, to think in terms of "us"
And wave at the kids on the school bus.
How fortunate to look at each other
And realize we'll never want another.
When night starts to fall and it's only you and me
Satisfaction and pride will be our guarantee -
Just two folks on the corner in that white house
Cast in perfect solace, quiet as a mouse.
