Oh dear! Who is Man Of The Year?
Time just chose - someone you'd not suppose.
This is sweet! It's the mob in the street.
It's The Protester!
The team - who felled Egypt's regime,
Or the throng - who would right Putin's wrong,
And the lark - down in Zuccoti Park.
All One Protester!

In Greece without cease - flaming riots they fan.
Assad feels their rod. Soon he won't be The Man.
But don't count those in Iran.
'Though the mullahs are bloody
Our gov still thinks they're our buddy!

The Brits - who became lawlwss gits,
All the fine - bombers in Palestine,
And the sports - who would shut down our ports.
The proud U.S. stars - who sh*t on cop cars,
It's The Protester!


This choice - will cause some to rejoice.
It's good news - for those of certain views.
Time supports - all the acts of these sorts.
Hail The Protester!
But gobs - of folks wanted Steve Jobs.
Other picks? What about Seal Team Six?
Or repeat - Big O.'s term in the seat.
No, it's Protester!

The spates in the States can't be called the same thing
As those in the throes of the brave Arab Spring.
Each "Occu" diff'rent goals bring.
They've no common direction.
Well maybe O.'s re-election!

Not fair! Time just shouldn't compare
Thugs and whacks - to those facing attacks.
Does Time seek - to go left of Newsweek?
You can't make one group - from this diverse troop.
No One Protester!
