The Phantom Menace...

Twitter, twitter little birdie
Fly so high while you still can
Before they take away your toys
Make you grow up, act the man

Spin it, lie and tell half-truths
Make each story all about you
Poor me, you see, "I didn't know"
No matter what, it's what you do

Daddy's boy can't take rejection
He wants them all to love him so
Despots, tyrants and ruling kings
He'll kiss their ass, make a show

Oh, Lord help us, if he wins again
He'll be hell on wheels, like dear Dennis
Darth Vader look out, he'll take your job
He will be the Phantom Menace

When I get two critiques/comments to the same effect, I take heed. I re-read and read and decided that I really didn't need that second verse, Thank you again. ~ Geezer.
