Little Jackie Foreigner

     Little Jackie Foreigner
     Was not born here
     Now he’s in Queens, a New Yorker… 

     He says, ‘Vote for Mamdani
     He’s sure to protect me
        ~ though I’m not a progressive like he’

Remember the film...You don't mess with the Zohan? (close to Zohran). I wonder why Mr. Mamdani makes some people so fearful? It would be instructive to let the AI god tell us how the top 1% and bottom 50% in the USA have done over the past several decades. Is it a trend we'd like to see continue? I honestly would like to know what you think. Take care and smiles, of course!! Your poem expresses a very interesting point of view!!!

witty and to the point. May I say, "Mamdani" is beyond scary....evil personified and disguised.
