Turning A Corner
(Sung to the tune "Love Me Or Leave Me")

His results matter.
Are you gladder or madder?
Were his tax cuts the traitor
   that made deficits greater?
He's "turning a corner?"
Which corner's he trying to turn?

His results matter.
Are you sadder or gladder?
Are job hunters discouraged
   while outsourcing's encouraged?
Which corner's he turning?
He's so many more corners to turn.

Who will decide which corners he tries?
   Not me or you –
That's why some think we ought to be trying
   somebody new.

His results matter.
Are you madder or sadder?
Are you seeing more terror
   with less room for error?
Is he turning a corner
   with too many more corners to turn?

His results matter.
Are you gladder or sadder?
Do you feel more secure
   or less sure of the future?
Is he turning a corner?
How long till he's finished his turn?

Another reason we ought to be trying
   somebody new –
Turning a corner isn't that easy to do.

Your results matter.
Are you thinner or fatter?
Did you used to be convex or a tad anorexic?
Are you turning a corner?
How long till you've finished your turn?
