I wanna be a 501(c)3
I have a worthy cause and I wanna be
The CEO of my favorite charity
A big fat salary with vague accountability
Endorsed by all my friends with their administrative abilities

We love to fun raise, oops, I mean fund raise
For education and/or save the world catch phrase
We love to re-design our website many times,
$20,000 is a drop in our web maze.

Our chief consultant is Grant F. Ding
If you ask him what the “F”‘s for?
He’ll say, “Just for Fun, give me a ring …
My siblings, Bran and Tren, are impatiently waiting
For the next big thing to make our cash register sing.”

I just wanna say, when you give your money away
To 501(c)3’s, all good intentions be,
The Orphans, Sick and Poor get a 5% charity
And administration fees suck up most of the money
Providing comfy jobs for bureaucratic bees
With non-profit management degrees from universities.

Dedicated to the Trump Foundation, the Clinton Foundation and the wannabe MADs, Beautiful PB and Beautiful MB

    How sharp this serpent’s tooth. But, really, greed has gone
    naked. We’ve reached transparency without shame.
