In Honor of Dr. Seuss and Budget Cuts

The author of this is unknown. Enjoy!

I am Sam,

Sam-I-Am,

Do you like budget cuts with a slam?

I do not like budget cuts with a slam,

I do not like them Sam-I-Am,

Would you, forego a raise?

Would you, could you work for praise?

I would not, could not forego a raise,

My creditors want money, they don’t accept praise,

I do not like budget cuts with a slam,

I do not like them Sam-I-Am,

Would you, could you suggest a position cut?

Would you, could you – we want YOUR in-put!

I would not, could not cut a soul,

That is not the way to plug this hole,

I do not like budget cuts with a slam,

I do not like them Sam-I-Am,

Would you, could you take a cut in pay?

Would you, could you work a little longer each day?

I would not, could not take a cut in pay, I already work 25 hours a day!

I do not like budget cuts with a slam,

I do not like them Sam-I-Am,

Would you, could you work for free?

We’re short 102 million dollars you see, I would not, I could not work for free, I’m broke and tired, please let me be,

I do not like budge cuts with a slam,

I do not like them Sam-I-Am!
