What do I like about my position?
The fact that I'm free to go huntin' and fishin'
   while wielding such wonderful powers
As starting a war just to settle a score –
As watching folks bitch while I un-tax the rich –
As avoiding the blame for our Neocon Game –
As taxing unborns for my Little Bighorns –
As letting Bob Novak continue to quack –

Of course I enjoy all those powers,
But what I like best are the hours:
The hours reading picture book stories to kids
   so I'm not in danger when folks blow their lids –
The week-end vacations that turn into weeks
   so I'm not around when a tsunami peaks –
The time to cut brush and pretend I'm John Wayne
   so the wars that I start inflict maximum pain –
The months on Cialis to increase my powers…
Yes, what I like best are the hours!
