Gershon Wolf Poet Lyric

DNC Chairman's Convention Song

    ‘Tis the season for a convention
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la
    Fear and angst and apprehension
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la

    Will the protests turn to riots
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la
    How to keep those loonies quiet
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la

    What if there’s an assassination
      Fa-la-la-la-la-la  la-la-la
    I hope it’s just my imagination
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la

    Maybe it’s something I just ate
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la
    But it sure feels just like ‘68!
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la

    DNC = Democratic Party National
    Convention, in Chicago this week

    '68 = 1968 DNC that erupted into
    what the media termed a 'police 
    riot,' incited by hordes of uncouth,
    unkempt hippie and yippie pro-
    testors.

Ilene Bauer August 19, 2024 at 5:42 PM Ha! We’ll have to wait and see. Hard to forget the ‘68 convention, though… Gershon Wolf August 19, 2024 at 7:44 PM Other than the breach of one security fence, it looks as if the 'disrupters' have failed in their mission on the first night of the DNC. (It's now 9:45 p.m. in Chicago, after Hillary's remarkable speech).

Hilda Greenhough August 19, 2024 at 12:33 PM I'm home, and not there. Television was invented for a reason. Joe Maverick August 20, 2024 at 1:06 PM Wow GW.. You were ahead Of the curve 1977.!! Applause and respect.) Gershon Wolf August 19, 2024 at 7:42 PM I guess you finally have proved to me why there is a need for television. Seriously. I last owned a TV in 1977... although I do watch livestream on the internet sometimes now... ~ Mr. Cheater

Joe Maverick August 19, 2024 at 10:34 AM It may have been hippys then.! Its more likely To be dippys now though.' Gershon Wolf August 19, 2024 at 7:40 PM if not Zippys...

J. Summers August 19, 2024 at 9:02 AM Well, let’s hope for the best. A most delightful tune. John Gershon Wolf August 19, 2024 at 7:39 PM So far, the first night has gone smoothly inside the Convention Hall, I see. And PBS has not shown one single moment of whatever is taking place outside. Interesting.

John Lawless August 19, 2024 at 5:31 AM ...sow the wind....reap the whirlwind...or something like that Gershon Wolf August 19, 2024 at 7:38 PM I think that you have nailed it yet again, John.
