Just a Simple Diagnosis

The human backbone needs all the strength it can muster
When our politicians lie cheat pillage and fluster.

LOL Wish the politicians could grow backbones instead of caving in to special interests. Your second line scores a home run, Harry! Best wishes in John's contest. Love, Carolyn
