              REMINISCENCES OF AL GORE

Last time I saw
Al Gore,
It was on TV,
During the
Democratic National Convention
In Chicago,
Where he showed
Everybody
How to do
The Macarena.

Now, I hope
For Gore
To win the U.S. Presidency
Tomorrow night...
On November 7,
In that so-called
'Decision 2000';
And when that happens,
I will be
Celebrating
His victory
By doing
My own version of
The Macarena.
