Interference

Fifteen yards in a football game
Runner is safe in baseball
Two shot foul in basketball
Penalty shot in hockey
No penalty in government
For interference
Interference with family
Interference with income
Interference with retirement
Hell bent on destruction of values
Interference with self reliance
Interference with self respect
Congress can’t run its own household
Don’t tell me how to run mine
Bail out equals social injustice
Carried to an extreme
Let’s call it Money for Morons
Income for incompetence
Dollars for Dimwits
Better Lives for Brainless Billionaires
Interference with growth
Interference with fiscal sanity
Interference with failures failing
Eliminate useless executive salaries
Corporate is back in black
No bail out needed
No interference to protect the one’s
Who own you, Congressmen.

"Money for morons" is a great way to assess the situation, Vince. But my vote goes out to "Dollars for Dimwits." OUTSTANDING!! Love, Carolyn

YES! Vintage Vince. This is great, but if I were writing it there would be a whole bunch of words which might get me kicked out of the soup. Keep up the good work old friend. Love, daver

Vince, Interference is a remarkable poem -a great write. Your anger is understandable. The system is the enemy of values, indeed. The conclusion 'who owns you' is very subtle. -Mohammad
