The Problems With Aids

There was an old lady who lived in a shoe
        She had so many children, she didn't know what to do!
She said, "I will call Hillery for she can help me, I'm sure
        For the Clintons are caring and their motives are pure."

She rang up the Whitehouse and they put her on hold.
        The president's wife is busy at least that's what she was told.
Her email was answered by some Bill Gates' recorded device.
        She tried again and again for some Clinton advice.

Bill said that he could have helped her but now it's too late
        For his "late-term abortion" would have really been great.
Hillery's book would have, to her, comfort given
        But the nearest village was miles from where she was livin'

Social Workers came, a different one came each week,
        The only help that they offered when they started to speak
Was to tear down the shoe that had been their abode
        "We will build you another," was what she was told.

The shoe was destroyed except for the laces.
        An empty lot now filled up the empty spaces
A high rise they built on the spot where once stood
        A shoe full of children and a mother that was good

Division for youth and family services was called in one day
        The helped the old lady -- took her children away
Split the family up as they are often known to do
        Putting each child in someone else's over crowded shoe.

The little old lady looked discouraged as she once more explained.
        How sorry she was that she had ever complained!
For Government had failed as it is clearly known to do
        While family and friends are there to help us make it through.
