Texas Governor Rick Perry says, as President, he’d move to scrap the Departments of Commerce, Energy, and Education. One may ask: what do these offices do that is so vital to America’s well-being. Commerce includes the office of Patents and Trademarks; Energy oversees our nuclear weapons. Education deals with more than just classroom activity.
Changing Plans
Some inventors may become combatants
Fighting over just who owns their patents.
But that’s ok! We all can be contented.
If all we need’s already been invented.
Energy protects us from the kooks
Determined to play havoc with our nukes.
It is among those inconvenient facts
That its people help protect us from attacks.
Then there are those folks in Education
Helping kids in schools across the nation.
They also help protect both blacks and whites
To keep what they have left of civil rights.
We’ll have to wait to hear some more of Perry’s plans,
Including what will take the place of what he bans.
