The Galvanator
 

The Terminator has a cousin, twice removed and not related,
who is clearly more superior with powers underrated.
With galvanizing muscles and a galvanizing grin,
he can galvanize a coat of carbonate upon your skin!
With zinc infused to molecules of oxygen and air,
this galvanizing power keeps you perfect and in care.
I tell you, friend, this process is complete and total must,
for without it, we’d be worse for wear… and all of us would rust!

Four year old President.
 

My sisters only four years old, but she knows all her words,
She’s rather argumentative, it’s honestly absurd.
She’ll likely be a president, a lawyer, or a judge,
For when she starts to argue on a topic, she won’t budge.
When mom and dad say, “No way, dear – you’re just not old enough.”
She proclaims that she is four this year, and all this other stuff.
Like, “It’s my right, I’m free to do the things I want to do.”
“And if you must say no to me, than I will have to sue.”
“I’m FOUR!” she says, “that means today and every other day,”
“I’ve earned the right, four years of life, to always get my way!”
“I’ll scream, I’ll cry, I’ll pout, I’ll shout, so listen close to me,”
“As part of the US of A, forever I’ll be free!”

This speech, while great, so well prepared, won’t help her case at all.
And blessed I am that I’m thirteen and she is very small,
Not big enough to beat me up, so I will boast and gloat,
Fourteen for her, just five for me and then I get to vote!
