Grandparents were right

There are earthquakes in Lima, and Texas has rain.

The stockmarket's sagging, and Britt's lost her brain.

The south is on fire, with no relief in sight, and poor little George shows he isn't too bright.

Barack shakes his finger in Hillary's face, as congressman battle in this vicious race.

That Nancy Pelosi is one stupid gal, and Rosie is not Donald's favorite pal.

Our dogfood is poison, our toys full of lead, gas prices so high that we can't get ahead.

E-coli is looming in all of our food, no more peanut butter for our hungry brood.

Obesity reigns from the young to the old, and poor Sarah Lee can no longer be sold.

Each breath we inhale is tainted, impure, and women are no longer shy and demure.

We litter, we get high, we rob, lie and steal and trample on others to get the best deal.

The i-pod and e-mail rule our every day, and kids have no concept of how to just play. They're stuck in the house with a screen and remote while watching "The Idol," so eager to vote.

The clothing and tatoos and piercings and such are, in my opinion, just really too much. We act like our children are the ones in charge while they run their lives like we're "parents at large."

The world has gone crazy, with no end insight; which proves that our grandparents really were right!
