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,                                    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 succumbto 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 were in the Super Bowl                                                                                        Pen State coach extraordinaire, Paterno                    Was fired, died at 85 in his last season,                                                                                                                      Tebowwasa 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                                                                                                                                  Having big salaries and big feet.                                                                                                                           Lets all drink to bettertimes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Let’s                                                                                                                                                       
Baseball at Weber State brought coach Macy                                                                                                   Lots of glory, thanks to Kasey and to Stacy.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The Girls Wrestling Team will be a pleasure                 
For the boys to watch next season,                               
If the girls wear sexy shorts,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Let’s all drink to better times.
