I should write a song

One of my favorite songs starts "With a purple umbrella and a 50 cent hat".  Yep, I am not making that up, although I have been known to make up my own words to songs.  And, I think, at least on occasion, mine are better than the original, so maybe I should write a song.  I think if I were to write a song, it would probably be a protest song - something Joan Baez or Arlo Guthrie should be proud of.  But it would be against the current establishment, who, in the 60's and 70's were the protesters.  It is pretty interesting how the world has flip-flopped.  Maybe the song would be called "Flip Flop", and maybe it would be about the president.  How's this for a first line "My name is Barry, I tell the truth very rarely, I believe when you marry that it's a Jim and a Mary, but then I flip flop, everybody be wary 'cause I believe it can also be a John and a Harry."  Yeah, I know, I should keep my day job, and Joan and Arlo probably would not care for my protest song either.  Oh well...   TDOT
