I still like it, Carrie. It has the disturbing ring of truth that also brings out laughter. Term limits on all Congress and an age limit of say 75 on all Justices. I think that WE ALL have had enough! Thank you so much for your kindness! Regards, Gerard. I apologize to everyone and YOU for being so slow on my responses, but I've gone back to school on line and it's taken up a lot of time and energy. Please forgive me. Regards, Gerard

ps I really enjoyed the subtle message here over the blatant or over the top statements in a few of the political poems.

Too bad you missed the contest, Carrie. John would have really liked this one. I think he wrote a limerick about a "Doubting Thomas." And I agree with your thoughts here...sad as it is. Love, Carolyn
