Parent #1 - Parent #2



“Is that your Passport in your hand?
Is that it there ol' Sam-I-Am?”

“I carry it with me,
for the World to see.
I keep it close by,
it keeps me free.”

“Did you see the naming plan?
Did you see it Sam-I-Am?”

 “Yes I saw the Passport scam
eliminate gender-data is the plan.”

“Do you like the naming plan?
Do you like it Sam-I-Am?”

“I don't like it,
it's not for me.
Setting a hierarchy
that shouldn't be.”

“Don't you like the naming plan?
Don't you like it Sam-I-Am?”

 “Who becomes the number one?
Who's the one that's to be shun?
I don't want to be the one,
being shunned is not so fun?”

“You don't like the naming plan?
You don't like it Sam-I-Am.”

 “I don't like the naming plan.
I don't like the gender ban.
I don't like the Passport scam.
No, I don't like the naming plan.”

“So you think it's just a scam,
do you think this Sam-I-Am?”

“I think it's a true slight of hand,
played by the members of the band,
also know as the Obama clan,
and they definitely have a plan.”

“So yes, I think it's just a scam,
Yes I do,” says Sam-I-Am.
