The Grand Old Party!

They fly their flags the sanguivorous way
And can't comprehend those with cooler heads
Devoted to alphanumeric display
Paying bills for industrious feds.
On that list is the Department of War
Who know the cost of our freedom well
And say just what public dollars are for...
"You give us the stuff and we'll give 'em hell"!
But no matter how stars and stripes are flown
It's the citizen who must pay the bill
And mark how the republic's wad gets blown
In order to win the next San Juan Hill,
Where Yankee victory wanes and waxes
But not as much as they cheat their taxes.
