(overheard in the news)

Europe is powerful
oh me oh my
but how powerful really
how cute
we argue over bananas
EU politics are so complicated
(as compared to?)
their consumers, so picky
GM crops were good enough for Jesus
free trade uber alles
look at those cute Euros
oh yeah? get a load of this:
Ben's bigger now, Abe's next
check out our Indian gold dollar
you don't got no Indians
meanwhile USA today asks:
does your child need soccer headgear?
that's "football" to you
