AN ABYSS LOOMS

As we begin a new year with daunting changes,
New phrases are coined to reflect the challenges.
A game of 'kick-the-can' is what our leaders do,
But I'm afraid that can will soon roll out of view;
Yon 'fiscal cliff' is more than 16 trillion deep.
Sobriety in spending we must vow to keep;
Solutions dilatory dig deeper abyss.
Like it or not, we ought to tighten belts, or miss
Our chance toward economic growth's direction;
Oppressive charges have no justification.
My challenge to high officials:- Serve without pay...
Since President Hoover can do it, try his way!
