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

Seems all this happened overnight, I know it didn't, but still, one day things seemed fine, then "whamo" the greedy got greedier, the rich got richer, and then the poor got the shaft.....loved this write of yours...always, Christy

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
