Holiday Update

Next Memorial Day Let's remember all those deceased Their blood on the hands of those Who sold us 'Defund the Police' We'll rename July Fourth 'USA Dependence Day' Let the il-Liberty Bell toll We're all on drugs and the dole The first Monday in September Is still called Labor Day But who needs to work now Uncle Sam pays us more to play How 'bout old Columbus Day States now renaming it 'Indigenous Peoples Day' -- Why not Illegal Aliens Day And let's not forget Halloween When scary grownups primp and preen Trying to fit in costumes to display parts of them -- Better left unseen Of course, last but not least: Election Day's now a national holiday How's that different for postal remployees Who never show up anyway

A little dark my friend. But you are right... that famous John Kennedy line has been long forgotten by many. Stay frosty my friend.

Ha, ha, I know exactly to what you refer, my scholarly friend. JFK famously said: 'And the football is Bobby's, but the rubber duck is mine!' ~ Moving fo-wahd with vigah! ~ Kamel Lot

Excellent one Gershon! Had a good laugh at the Halloween line - better left unseen. Lol :-D

That Halloween line describes me year-round now, after (ahem!) putting on a few too many pounds during the lockdowns... Thanks, Anne. :) gw

Holiday times ain't what they used to be neither, as Tom Sawyer might have put it. Thanks, Tom. ~ From ATP (Across the Pond), Gershon
