I Believe in Uncle Sam

 .

Oh every year on Christmas Eve

I climb into my bed,

And dream of gifts I know will come

From Santa and his sled.

 .

For Santa brings me this and that,

And other things for free.

So I believe in Santa Claus

And what he does for me.

 .

The Easter Bunny does the same

With malted eggs and sweets.

So I believe he must exist

To furnish me with treats.

 .

My Uncle Sam is kinder still,

And not just once a year!

By magic, every single month,

He makes a check appear.

So I believe in Uncle Sam,

With faith that’s tried and true,

And stronger when the things I get

Were lately owned by you.

My goal is to produce poetical cartoons. I try to use metaphors and caricatures (or a politician’s own words) to address complex political and social situations. In this way, I sum up current events in humorous verse.
