a kitty kat has whiskers
a puppy dog has a tail
i wrote a letter to the president
and put it in the mail
i told him he was an idiot
i told him he was a fool
i asked him what he ever learned
when he was a child in school
he never sent an answer
he never sent a reply
i wonder if he goes for walks
and looks up at the sky
and if he sees the hand of fate
pointing at his face
and showing him the sands of time
in which he will leave no trace
he goes back to the white house
and climbs the white house stair
to find inside his office
a visitor in his chair
who is this importunate stranger
who sits there with a smile
with no sense of decorum
and no sense of style
everybody has a stranger
who follows them through their days
and shows their face when the time has come
so do not be amazed
