 Our doubts ebb and flow

and then wane and wax:

does anyone there

ever pay all their tax?

    Man, no offense Bard but you’ve really been slipping lately. Are you on vacation and you’ve got a substitute bard?

    Let me be constructive here, Bard, your strength isn’t trying to turn politics into doggerel. You do better when you just write clever stuff that takes a little thought . This crap is beneath your prior rhymes Just like that dude who used to try to turn current events into limericks and just ended up sucking, so does this.

    Don’t stray from what you do best, Bard. Go back and revisit your old stuff that people liked. Try to get your groove back.

    I admire the fact that Mr. Bard stretches out occasionally and dabbles in politics. In short…

    The news was spread from D.C.
    In payments he’d been lax
    Poor old Mr. Daschle
    Had been fudging on his tax.
