We are the oi polloi
They often call us “fools”
But what do you expect?
We went to public schools
Kennedy was killed
By the magic bullet pristine
Later found in mint condition
On a stretcher at the scene
The Lusitania was for passengers
And was an Innocent of war
It was not carrying contraband
Despite photos from the ocean floor
We are the oi polloi
They often call us “fools”
But what do you expect?
We went to public schools
All the roads were closed
Out of DC that fateful night
Except the very one
Booth used for his harrowing flight
The Federal Reserve was born
With the Titanic ship disaster
The Opposition to the Fed
Were Guggenheim, Strauss and Astor
We are the oi polloi
They often call us “fools”
But what do you expect?
We went to public schools
9-11 was an awful tragedy
An act that required requite
But Jets dont’ typically burn
With the signature of Thermite
Pearl Harbor found us sleeping
A victim of the Japs
Never mind FDR knew
And designed that installation nap
We are the oi polloi
They often call us “fools”
But what do you expect?
We went to public schools
