Oh, Joshua, master politician with Jansport accessory,
the shots of your backpack have become my necessity.


hark! what wonder do I spy
but the great josh lyman walking by
backpack swinging from his shoulder
could a man move any bolder?


The backpack has its own allure
augmented by its owner, sure
but still in black fabric'ed glory
it tells a very silly story


There once was a man named Josh
Who made a lot of fun of Osh Kosh
he had no room to talk
as the Hill he would walk
with his backpack stuffed full of old squash


once a politician named josh
was told that a briefcase was posh
perhaps that is true, said he
but i like backpacks, you see
that daring politician named josh


There once was a store named Levengers
a man named Josh its primary defender
it sold backpacks you see
and Joshua had three
and to hell with briefcased avengers


There once was a girl Donnatella
at her would Josh often yell-ah
she got her revenge
when she put broken pens
in the backpack of the yelling fella


messenger bag hangs 
timidly from his shoulder 
Josh needs his backpack.


Oh lovely backpack,
subject of fan lore,
do you hold a file or two,
nothing more?
we'd like to think
you weren't just a prop,
for our dear Josh
to sometime carelessly drop.
what you hold
we'll probably never know
we're just happy now
that you're featured prominently
at the beginning of every show!
