The children have all gone to bed
No lollipops are in their head
No sugar treats or pleasant dreams
Vampires are in right now it seems
Why are they born so very old
Like little men and ladies bold
What happened to our Jack and Jill
While tumbling down that famous hill ?
I think it’s called progressive time
And paid for with another’s dime
The truth is it’s been tried before
But failed to win or even score !
