Town Hall Health Care Debates Hissy fits at the funny farm They're still hissin' and they're booin'. The Kleenex crowd's kerchooin' And prayin' they've enough to last the night. They're afraid their Great Aunt Minnie Will die in ignomini If, God forbid, that Sarah Palin's right. So the righties and the lefties, The skinnies and the hefties, Are facin' off to do each other harm. First the antis take their panties off. Unlike pros, they'll need a big payoff, While the Congress lady counsels hope And the crowd descends a slipp'ry slope At the funny farm. What's it cost to join the hootin'? Not a cent till they start shootin'. Even then you'll find the ammunition's free. But the problems start if you get shot For the medics they provide are not. You'll be off-plan and charged a hefty fee. And you'll need to duck and dodge each bullet, And if you've got a trigger, pull it. The NRA said bring your own sidearm. So the antis take their panties off. And the pros draw straws for the big payoff, While the Congress lady counsels hope And the crowd descends a slipp'ry slope At the funny farm. It's a blast to join the hootin', And it's free till they start shootin' At the funny farm. But the problems start if you get shot For the medics they provide do squat At the funny farm. Still the antis take their panties off, While the pros, they settle for the big payoff At the funny farm.
