What? Another Inauguration?
Rick got elected,
Now he wants to have a ball.
Aw, do we have to?

Reality Bites
Unfortunately,
The date is already set.
There's no turning back.

Don't Forget Ice
This is all for Rick.
We mustn't disappoint him.
Pretend to have fun.

Xanax at Work
Who is Rick, anyway?
Just some guy in jeans and chaps.
He has pretty hair.

Our Future Governor?
Pretty much like Dewhurst.
Except Dewhurst is nicer.
And has more money.

Save the Date
Oh, about that ball.
It's January 16.
Why do I feel blue?
