Millennium blues

    The Millennium came and nearly went

    Before we had a president

    We laughed at predictions of the Devil’s tricks

    Then it all came down like a ton of bricks

    We renewed our prescriptions to handle the stress

    Of Florida’s ballots and the ensuing mess

    Reno said that Elian couldn’t stay

    Hey! What’s with Florida anyway?

    We survived Survival, Big Bro, Millionaire

    Many went down with Alaska Air

    We pushed one, we pushed two, it made us cuss

    When a voice said “your call is important to us.”

    Skin was in at the Academy Awards

    Some watched the Olympics, some were plain bored!

    The economy was good, we went off the dole

    Dastardly terrorists bombed the Cole

    As gas prices went up, SUV sales got bigger

    The Stock Market was up, now it’s bombed; so go figger!

    Harry Potter was ” the book”

    The hackers, still at it

    The Israelis and Arabs had just about had it.

    We were warned of the dangers of the cellular phone

    The Rams beat the Titans, Schwarzenegger, his clone

    Woods beat himself and sold more shoes

    Firestone is singing the Class Action blues.

    The Generic code got broke, the Supreme Court spoke

    But things change as the pendulum swings

    So take heart, it’s not over ’til the fat lady sings
