I Thought I'D Seen and Heard It All

Remember when that nudnik dropped a bucket of paint
    on a canvas 'in the name of art,' but I said, "No, it ain't!"

  Or the time that politician just cursed and cursed
    and I told him he ought to try 'blank verse' 

  Or the day Yasir Arafat received the Nobel Peace Prize
    and I stated, "A murderer was just honored for his lies"  

  But when I heard a medical doctor say, "Abortion is health care"
    I dropped to my knees and started saying my prayers

OK. I'll crank up my sausage machine tonight. Or maybe we'll spit out a few tootsie rolls.

When you think things can't possibly get worse, they do. We live in an unreal world that I do not understand or recognise. Take care, Gershon. Shirley.
