LET’S ALL DRINK TO BETTER TIMES


                    KARL WALLACE                                             LET’S ALL DRINK TO BETTER TIMES

The past decade was a curse.                                                                                                                                                                                           Adding up the fears of so many,                                                                                                                                                                                    There’s  a lot that is best forgot,                                                                                                                                                                                       Sub-prime loans, Madoff’s crimes,                  Current plight of the Costa Concordia                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Let’s all drink to better times.

Crisis has become the norm,                                                                                                                                                                                       Don't hold your breath for “tax reform”                                                                                                                                                                  Congress might vote to raise taxes,                     Fix the schools, the gulf oil situation                  If the wherewithal can be found,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Fix the schools, the gulf oil situation                                                                                                                                                                               If the wherewithal can be is found,                                                                                                                                                                             Let’s all drink to better times.

The Democrats may lose some seats                                                                                                                                                                         Despite all of their legislative feats,                                                                                                                                                                      Hopefully along the way they will have                                                                                                                                                                  Acquired more backbone and                                                                                                                                                                                           Not succumb to red-state-bluster,                                                                                                                                                                       Let’s all drink to better times.

Please restrict the filibuster, used in fights                                                                                                                                                                     To save the South and civil rights,                                                                                                                                                                    Huntsman’s empire lies in shards,                                                                                                                                                                                Who knows what's hidden in the cards?                                                                                                                                                                      The “outside” candidate is in to win,                                                                                                                                                                          Let’s all drink to better times.

 New England and New York are in the superbowl    Pen State coach extraordinaire, Paterno 'Joe PA'                                                                                                                                        Was fired, died at 85 in this his last season,                                                                                                                                            Tebow, was a football superstar this season,                                                                                                                                                            We’ll all cheer the Bronco quarterback next year,                                                                                                                                                  Let’s all drink to better times.                                                                                                                                                          







Do not bet for any reason                                                                                                                                                                                                    On a stellar basketball season,                                                                                                                                                                                     The NBA will try again in 2012,                                                                                                                                                                                     It’s played with tall men                                 With big salaries, and big feet,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Let’s all drink to better times.                                                                                                                                                        

Baseball at Weber State brought coach Macy                     Lots of glory, thanks to Kasey and to Stacy,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The Girls Wrestling Team will be a pleasure                           To watch next season, the boys will say,                                                 If the girls wrestle in short shorts,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Let’s all drink to better times.
