All stressed out about the Election? Treat yourself to a funny poem and a song called "Run For Office."
SAN MATEO, Calif. - Californer -- Need a break from all the nasty politics?
Treat yourself to a funny poem I wrote and a song I co-wrote called "Run For Office."
The people will love this poem and song…politicians will hate it.
(And…I also ran for office. I ran for Congress in the Democratic Primaries in the 12th Congressional District in California in 2006 and 2008. I lost both times. "Run For Office" got some interesting mentions in some of the press coverage about my campaigns.)
HERE IS THE POEM VERSION OF "RUN FOR OFFICE."
"RUN FOR OFFICE"
Copyright 1995, Robert Barrows
"Out of work? Need a job? Run for office!
Big debts? Lots of sex? Run for office!
Need prestige? Run for office!
Get elected! Get respected!
You even get yourself protected!
Give unto Caesar that which is his!
Get me Redford! Get me Liz!
I'm going to make it really big...
I'm going to run for office!
All the money you need...
The pleasures of power and greed...
Got to start planting the seed...
I'm going to run for office!
Get elected! Get respected!
Got to get myself selected!

My future in bliss! I'll promise you that...
I'll promise you this!
...With this big warm smile, hey I can't miss!
There's nothing to lose, and I could actually win!
A couple of lies, hey, that's not like a sin?
Which race is open?
I'm ready to go!
I'll toss in my hat
and here comes the dough!
Where do I stand? It doesn't matter...
I'm shaking everyone's hand!
Oh what a feeling, I'm in command!
Hey, nice to meet you!
I'm running for office!
Your goals are my goals!
Vote for me! I'm your man!
What are my plans?
I'll show you when I get in office."
