At a Postcard Show
Went to a postcard show today
Capitalism in action!
Picked up some nice cards
One dealer - whose parents were Holocaust survivors
Gave me a break on the price
Another collector at the show
was an old Army buddy of my father
Used to work for him at shows
He sold his collection for six figures!!
Used to work in the Wall Street area
for a rich French stamp dealer
He sold a stamp for seven figures!!!
The battle between socialism and capitalism still rages in this world
One does not have to read Ayn Rand
Nor does one have to read Tolkien
But they are two famed authors
which are worth dipping into if you get the chance
Years ago I read Studs Lonigan
James Farrell - another one worth reading
Poetry is the order of the day
for those who love verse
No one is shooting at us for writing verse
in this land
Enjoy the holiday season you out there in the darkness!!
