MY FAVORABLE THINGS ARE DEBRIS
To the tune of My Favorite Things
Water is swarming with venomous species
Elegant swimming pools teeming with feces
The rash on my haunches is starting to sting
These are the things that Katrina brings
Casinos on beaches and trees without branches
New Orleans got flooded – what were the chances?
Buses were promised but never appeared
Things got much worse than we ever had feared
When the mold grows
When the bugs bite,
When the fridge smells bad
I simply remember my favorite things
And FEMA don’t seem so bad
Houses were burning and levees were breeching
Into the living room, sewage was seeping
Horrible odors awaft in the breeze
Hoping I don’t catch a dreadful disease
Helicopters flying and criminals shooting
I called the police – but they’re too busy looting
National Guard troops all over town
Why did it take Bush two weeks to dump Brown? (Y’re doin’ a great job, Brownie)
Boats on the rooftops and lawns full of branches
Presidents hiding on big Texas ranches
Blue tarps on houses as far as I see
All of my favorite things are debris!
First the roof leaked
Then the dome reeked
Damn, the fridge smells bad!
New Orleans covered in green, purple and gold
It’s not Mardi Gras; it’s MOLD!
