Tom Hanks for President

//Thomas Jefferson did not like banks. //To Alexander Hamilton do bankers give thanks. //Generals and pacifists together close ranks //Campaigning for President on behalf of Tom Hanks. //Lincoln saw to it the Republic still stood, //House divided, united, o'er expanded lands, //Then TR, ol' Bully, watered the sands //So we could go out selling the Tom Hanks brand. //He'll have to be drafted, we all know it's true: //Political ambition, the kind Kennedy knew, //Is not something Tom Hanks would ever do, //So getting him to accept is up to me and you. //And if, like Bill Sherman, Tom Hanks tells us no, //Says the cost to his family would be too steep, //Crying and desperate, we must let it go //And ask Meryl Streep. //And if he says yes, we too will give thanks //And ask Meryl please to run for Veep.
