My sister wrote a poem for the town hall protesters...

It's wrote to the tune of "Downtown" by Petula Clark

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKCnHWas3HQ


THE TOWN HALL SONG

When your pissed off and need a place you can vent

Well, you can always go

Town Hall

Grab your insurance talking points and swastika signs

It seems to help I know,

Town Hall


You can join in with the drama and scream

"Save the Constitooshun"

Health care for the poor is not a

practical solution

How can you lose?


The mouths are much bigger there

You can drown out Democracy

Pretend that it's fair



At the Town Hall

Abusing your Senator

Town Hall

Assholes are welcome there

Town Hall

YouTube is waiting for you!

5. Only one thing--
The word "insurance" in the line "Grab your insurance talking points and swastika signs" throws it off. It's fine with "Grab all your talking points and swastika signs."

Otherwise, it's fantastic. Permission should be given to the guy who does the YouTube videos with the puppets to make this one his next magnum opus!

No doubt Petula would approve!
