Somewhat Total (Goober-Natorial) Recall


California’s just a really
groovy place to be
Where the redwood forests
share the coastline with the sea

Where the towering Golden Gate
can reach up toward the sky
And the pace can be as
easy as a piece of pie

A place well known for all
the different movies that it makes
Where it’s people build their homes
on land that sometimes shakes

La La Land where everyone
is looking for a deal
And where people say things like,
“I bet that those aren’t real.”

But there’s been a wicked storm
a brewing up of late
Seems like in this land of sunshine
things just aren’t so great

People are not cheering for the
big guy who’s in charge
So they’re looking for a “dude”
who’s really very large

Now that all the leaves are brown...
and all the sky is Gray
Our Gov’ner Mr. Davis
might be soon along his way

They’re looking for a guy to say,
“Your term is up, now later.”
And so who else can do the job
except, “The Terminator”

Yes Conan The Republican is
is asking us to give
He’s saying things like, “Vote
for me, if you still want to live.”

He says that if he’s Governator
that he’s gonna save us
Together we just have to say,
“Hasta La Vista Davis.”

When asked about his lurid past
so much to his surprise
He said to, “Don’t believe them,
they’re just making up True Lies.”

He says that if he loses
he wont go on the attack
But who would take the bet that
he won’t say that, “I’ll Be Back!”

Who knows how this will all
pan out and what our state will pay
I’m still California Dreamin’
for that winter’s day

(giggles in delight) I will respect others opinions, but I truly find Arnold's running for governor absolutely ridiculous and I sure hope he doesn't win, as I admire those who run with wit, charm, and love, not with glamour and glitz and huge bags of cash earned from Total Recall and Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines! (sigh) This is so wonderfully penned, sweet friend, I'm adding this to my library, now can we puhhhhleeeze get back to living a comforting and relaxing California life, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richard, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Good one,  very cute and so to the point.
Yeah,  the race for Governor of the "C"
state is something else, isn't it?

“You’ll Be Back” huh Linda?
lol
I sure hope so!
Thanks for always having something real nice to say Linda.
That really means a lot to me!
A big hug back to you!


Noah, it’s always nice to get one of your ever wonderful reply's. Yeah it is a real mockery isn’t it? I think that the whole idea of having a recall in the first place (except for very extreme cases, or a possible vote miscount) not only sets a bad precedent for this, or any state. But it is just another big waste of our taxpayer’s money. But what more can you say except that it’s, “politics as usual.”

Well, if Arnold is elected, you know who I'd feel sorry for? The people on death row. Imagine, you're about to be executed, the governor calls, you think it's your reprieve, and you hear 'Hasta la vista, baby...

Ok, so I got that from Jay Leno... lol

You take good care of yourself Noah.

And Thanks Again!


Thanks a lot for the nice comments Magnus! And for stopping by.
Yeah it really is something.

Recently read headline:  Citing California, Iraqis Reject Democracy!

(Kidding actually lol)


Thanks Everyone!
