BUDGET CUTS: AN ALLEGORY.
The doctor said "I have bad news for you this very day."
"There's lots of fat and waste on you that I must cut away."
"It's for your good and must be done; your friends have all agreed"
"that cutting you back down to size would be a noble deed."
"You have two feet when one will do; two eyes – that's one too many."
"You do not need to see so well when you can save a penny."
"I'll take an ear and pare your tongue down to a tiny slip"
"and most of your saliva glands are just a wasteful drip."
"One arm can be as good as two" the kindly doctor said.
"And then to finish up the job we'll just remove your head!"
I told the doc I would not be so sliced to make amends.
If there's cutting to be done please start upon my friends!
