TIRED
I’m tired—oh, so tired of the whole New Deal;
Of the juggler’s smile; the barker’s spiel;
Of the musey speech and the loud bassoon; e
And the tiredest of all of our leadet’s croon.
Tired of taxes ion my ham and eggs;
Tired of ‘payoffs’ to political yeggs;
Tired of Jim Farley’s stamps on my mail;
Tired of my shirt with its tax-shortened tail.
I’m tired of farmers goose-stepping to laws;
Of millions of itching job-nolders’ paws;
Of “fireside talks’’ over commandeered mikes;
Of passing more laws to stimulate strikes.
I’m tired of the hourly increasing debt;
I’m tired of promises still to be met;
Of eating and sleeping by government plan; °
Of calmly forgetting the “Forgotten Man.”
I’m tired of every new Brain Trust thought;
Of the ship of state now a pleasure yacht;
I’m tired of cheating the courts by stealth;
And terribly tired of sharing my wealth,
I’m tired of Eleanor on page one;
Of each royal ‘in-law’? and favorite son,
I’m simply, completely fed up with it all.
I’m tired of “Sistie” and “Buzzie” Dall;
I’m tired and bored with the whole New Deal;
With its juggler’s smile; its barker’s spiel;
Lear Lord; out of all the available mén
