LETTER TO FORD MOTOR
COMPANY
Though those in charge of our nation’s corporations
Seem to be forever in the job elimination business
They themselves continue to collect a fat company check
Their grotesque salaries aren’t shy even a few cents
And though Jerry Kid’s continue to endure much pain
And homeless war veterans lie in Washington’s street
It would seem our fat representatives of Capitol Hill
Continue to have a little more than just enough to eat
And though state education boards’ blind presidents
Are forever begging us to vote to raise our own taxes
When they cut education funding for handicapped children
Their own wages somehow escape the pruning axes
So here’s to a unanimous vote from we the people
Coming from the poor and common people’s page
Until they figure out how we can have the bare basics
Let the bastard’s all earn minimum wage!
