Bill Makes Another Unwise Facebook Posting
By
Elton Camp
On
Facebook, Bill can’t seem to realize
Criticizing
the government isn’t wise
It’s

And

His old Uncle Sam it does not amuse
His
every post Sam is scrutinizing
That he’s in trouble isn’t surprising
Guns
in hand, they’ve got him surrounded
His

“Bill,

Why,

A

He
sits at the computer and types away
And

Say

Whatever
may appear on the Internet
A
close look from Sam is going to get
