Why is the Pentagon so sprawling? Why should there be so many Doors? It is so I cannot stand or sit To block entry, Or proffer peace down Its miles of corridors. Why is the Capitol Building So big? Why does it seem so regal? It is so I may grow weary Climbing its steps As I try to remind my congressman To check against those Pentagon evils. Why is the Supreme Court so imposing? Instead of a temple, it should be a Log cabin. Imagine if it were a little more cozy, But hey, we like our justice cold, And perhaps a modicum Rabid. Then there’s the White House. Her walls have seen so much. From getting burned out by the British, To sheltering both buffoon and Brilliant. The latter and former rendering more and More out of touch. For the brilliant, we have the Memorials and the shrines. One of these is simply a great ditch. The black granite cries with you As you cry; A proper reminder of brave sacrifice, And that the Pentagon can be a son of a *****
