O O O O O

O what can you say?
The supersports hero,
prodigy of prot?g?s,
throws the ball away,
and is ejected, go, go,
and the fans groan. . .

what seemed so real, is
disclosed to be so phoney,
phone in the results--
the bailout designed
to save us is failing us.

O O O O O what will you do
when your bank balance
is a big fat zero
a big round O -- oh no.

O, it's all too true, no
wonder we feel blue:
we're mired in glue,
without a clue,
need to get a plan.
