Twas the night before Christmas and all around town
Society is crumbling right to the ground
Our children are snug and tucked in their bed
While our soldiers pump Iraqi's all full of lead
Our leader is influenced most likely by crack
But to our suprise was replaced by a black
Will he do better? Nobody can know
but who really cares as long as our gas price stays low
The countries unemployment is the highest in years
Now here comes Obama to settle our fears
He promised us change and I hope that comes true
but till then I remain YOUR foulmouthdrew
So Merry Christmas to all from mine to yours
and have fun shopping you consumer whores
An American Christmas...
Uh, I think the preferred nomenclature is African American, but that doesn't really rhyme with crack. Very nice Drew. Happy Christmas to you too.
Re..Comment
How dare you correct me on how to be politically correct? Perhaps I should use other offensive terms to bother your tiny little brain into making a stupid comment. Kill yourself.
Comment about your comment....
Considering you have the mental capacity of a 3 toed sloth I am utterly shocked you are able to use such a modern communication device like a computer. Congratulations, you are a rung above the village idiot.

Is a three toed sloth actually an animal with reduced brain capacity? I think you should cite your sources sir. This innocent creature played no role in this fight until you dragged it in.

Dear Mr. 3 Toed Sloth,
I am truly sorry for making reference to your intelligence. It was un-called for. You are a majestic animal and a wonderful contributor to the worlds eco system. Bless you Mr. Sloth and I hope your rain forest thrives so you may live a happy exsistance for yourself and many generations to come.
The sloth is the world's slowest mammal, so sedentary that algae grows on its furry coat. The plant gives it a greenish tint that is useful camouflage in the trees of its Central and South American rain forest home.
Sloths are identified by the number of long, prominent claws that they have on each front foot. There are both two-toed and three-toed sloths.
All sloths are built for life in the treetops. They spend nearly all of their time aloft, hanging from branches with a powerful grip aided by their long claws. (Dead sloths have been known to retain their grip and remain suspended from a branch.) Sloths even sleep in trees, and they sleep a lot—some 15 to 20 hours every day. Even when awake they often remain motionless. At night they eat leaves, shoots, and fruit from the trees and get almost all of their water from juicy plants.
Sloths mate and give birth while hanging in the trees. Three-toed sloth babies are often seen clinging to their mothers—they travel by hanging on to them for the first nine months of their lives.
On land, sloths' weak hind legs provide no power and their long claws are a hindrance. They must dig into the earth with their front claws and use their strong front legs to pull themselves along, dragging their bellies across the ground. If caught on land, these animals have no chance to evade predators, such as big cats, and must try to defend themselves by clawing and biting.
Though they couldn't be clumsier on land, sloths are surprisingly good swimmers. They sometimes fall directly from rain forest trees into rivers and stroke efficiently with their long arms.
The three-toed sloth emits a long, high-pitched call that echoes through the forests as "ahh-eeee." Because of this cry these sloths are sometimes called ais (pronounced "eyes").
Three-toed sloths also have an advantage that few other mammals possess: They have extra neck vertebrae that allows them to turn their heads some 270 degrees.
