Of course each day
Across the world
Came strife, violence and war
But that’s not news
It’s every day
We’ve all seen it before
Afghanistan and Pakistan
And daily strikes of terror
And Taliban
With troops near gone
Perhaps that was an error
And Apple clones
And NATO drones
Each fight a different war
Each one in stealth
In search of wealth
That’s what they do it for!
Benedict said “Nope”
Francis is pope
And named Man of the Year
Snowden leaked
And then he sneaked
And tried to disappear!
And Castro’s king of Cuba
Assad, he won’t step down
Though Morsi like Mubarak
Is nowhere to be found
And Bloomberg’s gone
Like a Big Gulp
And Bill now fills his shoes
I fear that every day we’ll hear
New rules no good for Jews
The Dow has surged
Back to its height
Before financial trouble
And all will run
To make some “monn”
Till the next burst bubble
And meteors they landed
In Mother Russia’s land
Where Putin rules
The world he fools
Despite his iron hand
And Ahmadinejad
Is gone
We thought he brought alarm
But now we fear
The next one there
Who plans his strike with charm
And violence still
Does fill our land
With guns and all their shootin’
In shopping malls
In school house halls
We all did mourn for Newton
And Syria found chemicals
Another way to slaughter
Perhaps it’s good
They went to Mars
And think they spotted water
Mandela was a hero gone
And all gathered to hail
Forgetting what he did way back
And why he sat in jail
And typhoons strike
The Philippines
And thousands washed away
I find it odd
That old A-Rod
Makes bigger news that day
And animals
Now roam the streets
Without a bit of shame
And punch a person
To the ground
And this they call a game?
But if you’re hurt
No worries now
Obamacare’s in town
But to enroll
Does take a toll
The website’s always down!
And in our Holy Land
We love
So much internal strife
With new men in
Who think they’ll win
And change our way of life
And so another year went by
At least a year for goyim
And we’re still here
Another year
Gevalt! It’s pilei ployim!
Despite the world
That’s poised to pounce
Despite the violent “knocker”
We will be here
Another year
Our netzach, “lo yeshaker!”
