Where every show has been voted "Show of the Year"
In what must have been a whole series of Florida elections

The big local news is
The death of Haji, the miracle baby elephant
The first born through artificial insemination
A strange counterpoint
To a recently heard tale of Utah rabbit semen
Zapped into sterility
By nuclear testing

And remember when you're shopping
That trunk space is your only limitation
Never mind that credit limit
And just hope that you can escape the traffic jam
In a town that cries out for public transit
While it chokes on commercial excess

I parked the truck as soon as I could
And won't turn another wheel
Except to leave this place behind
What I'll miss will be the people
Who gave their health
And some, their children's health
To win a war that we didn't dare fight
A lesson no one should forget
In a time of loose talk
About endless Crusades
Remember that such thinking
Plunged Europe into the Dark Ages
Give us the light to see
The endless folly
Of war without end
